Howdy & welcome! Wellsir - if'n ye runs a generic canned tune, then yes it's possible. Hence - ye be needin' ta run a fully custom-tuned programmer. - specific to yer vehicle and any mods past, present and future. Safest tunes they is. And they ain't no real cost penalty ta jaw at - so ye'd be needin' t' 'zamine yer cabbage if'n ye chose canned o'er custom fer the same dinero! Caveat o' the day - in any case, ye truck had better be the recipient of a heapin' heppin' o' Exemplary maint'nance, er fergit the whole thang, aight? No bandaids to be had here. Details and me best recommendation be in here: https://www.f150online.com/forums/ch...-question.html. Give ol' Mike @ MPT a call/email/PM - he be a right good feller. Be extremely wary of some of the canned junk being peddled in that post above. There are some truly horrible, ineffective, overpriced programmers shown. Hell fahr - the dang SCT X4 ain't even listed!WTFF! BTW - Yall cain't git Edge CS/CTS custom-tuned no more ( blame Edge, the bastiges. ). Best o' luck! Y'all listen to ol' Bubber
MGD PS - Er, Bert - mebbie yall shoulda started ye own brand-new thread, as reckon we's a-crappin' in ol' AA's Cheerios Betchee when ol' Sir Jack sees this'n he may counsel ye on it....

However, I'd say you just about nailed it. I certainly would not recommend a CS or CTS since you can't get custom tunes on them anymore. (I got mine before Edge became brain damaged and stopped PHP from loading tunes on them.) And, I would not worry about a programmer damaging your truck, as long as the tunes are written by a reliable tuner. In my opinion, the trucks that ARE damaged after being tuned are also beat to hell by their drivers. If you treat your truck with respect (that doesn't mean baby it), and give it proper maintenance, it should probably do better WITH tunes than without. I've had my truck custom tuned for about 48,000 miles now, and have had no issues whatsoever. (I bought the truck used with 44,000 miles on the clock, and got my first programmer shortly thereafter, because I couldn't stand the way it shifted when I was passing someone.) Just so you'll know, the Edge shown in the first post is the diesel version, the gas one doesn't monitor some of those values. And, like ol Bubber said, don't overlook the SCT X4. - Jack 10-19-2015, 03:10 PMJoin Date: Oct 2015 Posts: 2 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts 2015 5.0 v8 what programmer do i need to get please advise me on what to purchased for canned tunes new f150 crewcab 57,000 ouch minus 7,800 rebates looking for gas milage but is the power is more thats fine i have a light foot going for the leveling kit tires toolbox 2,300 next week What programmer does anyone recommend 10-19-2015, 05:35 PMJoin Date: Dec 2006 Location: Joplin MO Posts: 42,402 I recommend CUSTOM (not canned) tunes from one of the reputable tuning houses, using either a SCT or Diablo programmer. 10-26-2015, 06:58 PMJoin Date: Dec 1999 Location: California Posts: 1,359 Agree....there are too many issues with canned tunes...it is like your mom taking her car in the old days to "Tune-Masters". Yes, for $29 they gave it a tune-up.....it ran, didn't miss and that was about it. OEM safeguards are many times abated and that can/does create logitivity issues. Find a local dyno shop is the best, also if you understand engines, for about the same price HP tuners has a software program that for the home-mech, will do what you want. 10-28-2015, 05:12 PMJoin Date: Jun 2012 Location: New Jersey Posts: 24 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts How about JDM, Johnny Lightning Performance or Stage 3 Motorsports?
