Mike-

Sorry if Ive missed this in another post - but do you know when the programmer for the 2005 F150's will be available? Im anxious to 'fix' my speedo now that I have 35" tires rolling

 

2004/2005... what's the diff? Same PCM setup, right?

Or is there an issue with the version of the PCM on the new '05s?

 

You would assume so - but when I contacted superchips a few weeks ago they said they do not work on the 05's - when asked when they will have 05 programmers they said 'we don't know'.

Maybe Mike has some insight into this

 

Whenever the R&D gets done, basically. The 2005 F-150 uses a different PCM than the 2004's did, requiring additional R&D that is well underway.

As soon as it's available, we'll be announcing it right here. You can also drop us an email at: sales@troyerperformance.com and we'lll let you know automatically the instant it's availlable.

Congrats on your new truck!


this was a reply to the same question in another thread...

 

spytech and dzervit,

Here's the link to the thread that MRBIG is referring to:
Superchips Tuner for 2005 F150

 

J&D is my hero.

 

excellent, thanks

 

Ya but I'm your daddy.

 

Hi Spytech,

The deal is, the hardware (the new custom CAN Flasher, called the "XCalibrator") already has support for the 2005 F-150's - however, it will be approximately 2-4 weeks if all goes well with the R&D before we can actually start tuning them commercially, as the R&d has a little ways to go just yet.

The 2005 F-150 has another variant of the Power PC, not the Black Oak variants used in the 2004's, but instead, it's the Silver Oak variant for the 2005 F-150's.

So it's really a software issue, the hardware is done. What I'd suggest is either giving us a call or shooting us an email at: sales@troyerperformance.com , and that way we can notify you immediately just as soon as we can take care of that for you.

Congrats on your new 2005!
