Well it started out as a EGR delete.....then after a few minutes of talking to fellow on the other end of the diesel shop....
H&S Egr delete kit
H&S Pyro
H&S Mini Max Programmer
4" turbo back exhaust
I can honestly say- BEST mods ever.
Truck had power before- now on the 3rd setting- it has stupid power
It has no power, mild+60hp, wild+120hp, and Hot+175hp settings at push of button
Daily I leave it in mild & can say it drives amazing.
Another thing is; mini max gives me control of all options & monitoring of everything.... and you can control everything from A/T shift points to stuff like seat belt reminder.... I dont have a A/T but still controlling all this is great.
Cant wait for October to see how it tows.
See yawl there.

Your most welcome bud. I drove it today it was hard to pin point exactly what the different is but it sure does seem like its better balanced across the power band. I was about 5 updates behind the revision I received it with.
Well, i had posted a while back about having problems with my f250, running really rough and the SES light being on. I finally found the problem and fixed it, it was the UVCH(under valve cover harness) on the passenger side(of course I changed both), it now runs like a champ.
Awesome. I remember that, but know nothing of the fords. Glad to hear ya got it running again.

Age is a state of mind.
Pretty much an even 10mpg for me with the programmer on 40% which is a tow mode. But I threw some kind of code that was not allowing me to downshift on the ride home so I was trying to use downhill momentum to carry me up the next hill. For some reason the programmer would not read any codes so I hope to get into it in the next day or so. But I figure 10 is not bad for towing Clifford with Hachi on back at 65 - 70 mph.

Not bad at all Mike with that load, did you weigh your setup to know what kinda weight your hauling? I think Paul said he was doing about 10 as well with 23.5K behind him. Hope your programmer bug gets worked out maybe it just needs a reboot
GVW 23,280lb
@ 65 most the time a few above 70
going up on biodiesel 8.5 MPG
coming back on diesel no gumbo less beer a bit of mud 9.3

I didn't weigh it yet but I am estimating somewhere around 10k - 11k on the rig and trailer loaded. I need to drag it to a scale soon.
I started off getting 16, but by the time I got the Memphis, the winds shifted and I dropped down to 12. Not sure what engine I had, but the tow rig was a GMC van with a 10' box. Would that be a 6.0 liter still or are they running a 6.2 now?
You might be a little heavier.
Dads gmc. The land cruiser, 4 wheeler, trailer, and gear with me weight in at 16,865 lbs. that's without a camper. You have to weight a bit more than 10. I know the 62 is heavier than the 40, but still.
