Upgrades and Aftermarket - 99 & up 7.3L EngineUpgrading or adding OEM or aftermarket equipment to your 1999-Up Super Duty or Excursion with 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engine. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 7.3L Power Stroke engine.
I'm new to the forum, but have been reading for a while. I am trying to install a Superchip 1705 on my 02 7.3. When I installed it, the display said it needed an update. I tried it on a 99 7.3 and it said the same thing. I bought this thing used off one of these sites so I don't have a receipt to send it in to Superchip for the update. Without the receipt they charge $200.00 for the update. Has anyone had this problem or have any suggestions? Thanks.....

If the previous owner didn't return it to stock, it would say it was vin-locked as soon as he plugged it in.

I have a SCMT that I've been using since 2001 when my truck was new. It was pretty good. Recently my PCM failed ( I don't know if it was caused by the SCMT or not) so I got a replacement PCM from DP-Tuner.com with an 80hp econo tune flashed on it. Jody at DP-T told me the Superchip 80hp program was about equal to his 40 hp tow program. I thought...yea right. The first time I drove it was [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] quite a suprise. Dang, he knows what's up! My truck starts, runs and shifts better than it EVER has before.
I suggest you call Jody Tipton at DP-Tuner and spend less of your money for more performance.

Problem solved, I contacted the seller and he had the receipt. He faxed it to me, and I mailed everything to Superchips with a check for $12.50 for return postage. It was less than a 2 week turn around! I have the programmer installed in my '02, I have it on the tow-safe mode and like it so far.......

I have been running the SCMT 110hp program in my truck for the last 130k miles. No problems. I am at 160k miles and wondering if I should replace the tranny before hunting season when I start pulling the travel trailer again to the hill country. Diesel Innovations is just 30 minutes away from me and I have had the itch, its justs hard to drop that much do-rey-me on something with the stock tranny holding up so well.

Before I would spend $4000 on a new tranny system, if it is running good, I would add an additional tranny cooler, a Transgo Tugger shift kit, and Maghytech tranny pan. I would also change the fluid to all synthetic, like Amsoil Racing fluid or Mobil 1. Just make sure it is rated correctly.

I ran Mobil 1 Synthetic in the tranny its whole life up until last week. When I changed it I went to Valvoline due to time restraints and not having synthetic at hand. Will probably go to Amsoil shortly.
