7.3L Ford powerstroke diesel 1994-2003 TS Performance 6 Position Chip WITH KNOB 140+ HP

So much to say. PLEASE READ all of my reveiw whether or not you even rate it helpful or not! You need to know a lot of things about this chip other reveiws don't even touch on mentioning.So, I got this chip mostly for towing my heavy 5th wheel cross country on vacations with my spouse & 4 kids. My 1999.5 F350 should have had an AWA2 PCM in it due to it's build date, manual transmission, Lariat, crew cab, 4x4, for some reason it has a somewhat used looking DAC2 PCM in it, which should have been for a 2000, which confused the crap out of me since I've had this truck for over 14 years and never had the PCM replaced since I don't ever go to dealerships for this easy to work on truck. CHECK YOUR PCM before you order! You'll have practice when it arrives and avoid my 3 month fiasco. A 10m socket and 10 minutes is all you need. I ordered in March before our camping season, once it arrived and was installed my truck threw the check engine light. I tried convincing the seller MotorGod I did in fact have a different PCM than the chip was tuned for even tho he asked for my truck's info for the initial tune back when I ordered. He graciously allowed me to ship it back for a reburn to the correct PCM free of charge. THANK YOU by the way! My bad. After email tag for 5 weeks and still no chip in the mail, we called asking why it had not been returned yet. Somone had misplaced it at their office, but it was found while we were on the phone.... 4 days later it arrived back (exact same chip) with the correct PCM tune. Now it was the middle of June.... Check your PCM before you order!Now onto the canned tunes on the TS6..... Yeash. YES they do work, you will love it, and absolutely love your truck more than you ever did. However, NO, you will not get 110, or even 140 HP more than you did before you installed the chip IF you have the stock injectors, and stock turbo. It will feel that way to your butt and guts, but don't forget torque is also added. AND the CHIP also LIES to YOU 😱 Keep reading I'll explain. You cannot get more than 60-80 more HP out of the 7.3 motor with stock injectors and stock turbo with any chip. It will not happen, ever. End of story. There is a long list of explanation as to why, which is covered on many Ford-truck-enthusiests "hint hint" websites for the 7.3 that will explain those facts without getting into all of those MANY details in this review. There's only so much tooth paste in the tube of the stock 7.3 engine, the TS6 just squeezes it harder & flatter with a brick than Ford did from the factory with kid gloves, so to speak.Stay with me it's about to get very interesting.Canned tunes, they are decent for the average Joe wanting more power towing a boat or something or some kid blowing black smoke faster between stoplights. But a good tuner (person writing the tune) will never make the engine sensors lie to the PCM, they will make the PCM adjust the engine based off what the sensors say. Canned tunes (what is included in the TS6 purchase on Amazon) aren't really tunes, per say. If you have a scanner for your truck (ForScan/TorquePro apps and ob2 scanner) you can look at how your sensors begin to lie with every click of the knob.Your MAP sensor will read 2 less psi with every click; With your truck motor not running, it will read 14.7 or so (atmospheric pressure at your elevation will vary, this is mine) click thru the tunes and watch it drop to 12,10,8,6 This affects fueling, (less oxygen at those reported elevation points needs more fuel for combustion) but more fuel at the same elevation = more powerDo it again and watch the ambient air temp drop 100 degrees Fahrenheit, also adding a touch more fuel but also activating the glow plugs for better combustion of said extra fuel, this explains the claims on some reveiws of better mileageYour accelerator pedal position will also lie; hold your right foot steady on the highway, and watch the accelerator position sensor increase it's values by 15-20% with each click. So instead of that say 50% throttle acceleration from a stop light on stock setting, when set on 140hp, it will now say 100% without even moving your foot at all. Now do you begin to see why i say that 140hp tune is just the feeling in your butt, and not actual HP? The chip is also tuning/fooling YOU by changing that sensor's input. I'll say it again, a real tune will not make a sensor lie to the PCM. "Tune" your Grandma's car by wiring her accelerator at 100% throttle any time it's pushed and she will think her car has way more HP. Say an extra 140HP? Does her car now actually have more power? NO! All you did was mess with the throttle input.Now unplug your ICP sensor to throw it into the "defualt mode" 750psi with the engine not running, watch the ICP pressure change with the knob clicks, making the IPR adjust to the request of more oil psi to fire the injectors at higher pressure atomizing the deisel better/faster for better combustion. This is probably the closest to an actual tune's results, but by making the sensor lie instead of changing the PCM parameters.How about the FIPW? (fuel injection pulse width)See what's happening now? Check out all the other sensor's reactions on your own if you want.Now, does the TS6 work? Absolutely. 100% hands down. Buy it and be happy. Or buy it and then have a tuner like Gearhead, PHP, DP or someone put real tunes on it for around $150 each time you send it in, and the sensors will not lie to you when you are trying to diagnose anything on your truck. They will also tune the PCM to run your truck better with the modifications (if any) you have on your specific truck, and you will actually get better mileage in most cases because your truck won't think it's on the top of mount Everest with deisel being poured down its throat.Now all that said, do not ever tow a trailer using a chip without the bare minimum of a EGT gauge to monitor your Exhaust Gas Temps, if you go over 1250 degrees for a minute you will melt your pistons, it's hard to do, but possible even without a chip, like going up a mountain with a 12k pound trailer lugging it in 6th gear. You did already know about that right?On the TS6 with canned tunes please don't ever tow over 10k pounds on the 110 or 140 hp settings. The sensors are just way too far out of whack from the lying tunes for your engine to run healthy long term under that load.Would I buy the TS6 again? Absolutely. It is an awesome value for my current needs. Although if YOU can afford it, spend 3-4x as much for a Hydra with tunes that you can upload to it yourself, at home via USB, from a simple email from your tuner into your own personal "library" of tunes, once you buy the tune you get to keep it forever.And that is my detailed review of the TS6 for my fellow 7.3 owners

Installed this on my 99' F250 7.3L Powerstroke. I drive it approx 120 miles everyday. Was told that it would increase my fuel mileage a little. I had no idea that my truck had so much hidden power. After installing and taking the truck out to see what it would do, I was more than impressed. I keep it on the 75 hp setting. Turned it up to 100 hp once and could t believe how much power it added. I still haven't tried the 140 hp setting because I'm almost scared to. I get a couple extra mpg's with it but you have to keep your foot out of it to get the benefit of extra fuel mileage. I live close to the mountains and this makes a world of difference when pulling the camper into the mountains. I would recommend this to anyone that tows a lot or would like to get a couple more mpg's out of their truck.

At first I was gonna leave this old 7.3 stock, but then I saw videos with this TS chip and the Lord came to me in my sleep and said “you need this”. And lemme tell ya, when this thing is on level 6, and that pure Pennsylvania coal is rolling out of the exhaust like water out of a firehose, and those twin turbskis are spooling up....there’s no better feeling. Haters will say it’s fake, real G’s and true Americans will stand up in reverence and watch this all American 7.3 powerhouse sing its favorite song....freedom. Do you need this? No. It’s for true OG’s only. If you’re new at this, stay in the little leagues. Get yourself some no name brand tuner and try not to hurt yourself champ. But if you love your country and those who lay down their life for it, then what are you waiting for? Friends come and go, but trucks are forever 🇺🇸

Fairly easy install. Makes a huge difference in my 7.3. I love the high idle feature for those cold mornings.Only used the 150hp setting once. Holy crap... Truck took off like a rocket leaving a James bond level smoke screen behind me. I generally leave it on the 75hp level. I put it back to stock settings in the snow or heavy rains. Helps keep me from spinning the tires.

Installed chip on 99 Ford 7.3 powerstroke and was unable to go anywhere unless it was on 5 or 6 setting. Uninstalled and had computer flashed at local dealership ($$$) just to make sure their was no "other" programs. Reinstalled chip and still truck will not accelerate or get up on boost for a good 2-300 feet. If on the setting 5-6 AND TRUCK WARM, it will accelerate. Contacted TS and they said they wouldn't touch it because of where I bought it. they also said it must have been programmed incorrectly. Either way I am screwed! Be careful and good luck I would recommend actually ordering from TS so you have a way to get it fixed if its wrong. I sent 2-3 emails and no response as of yet. Months later!

WOW!!! This chip is Awesome! I watched the short YouTube video first. (Do this as it will help your install go fast) 15 min to install. Instant LEGIT 140 HP. There is a lot of crap out there. This chip is the real deal.My 2002 F350, 7.3L is like a different truck.My check engine light came on at first but quickly went back off in about 5 min. Have put about 250 miles on it since the install, and it is a HUGE difference. Zero issues.Excellent product, fast delivery, recommend 100%. 75hp setting already is yielding better fuel economy.This is easily the best product I've purchased for my truck....
