I sold my bro-in-law my 2002 F250 Diesel, complete with the Superchips programmer....that truck has been in the shop twice to replace an oil line feeding the turbo, and it is leaking again...Problem? Either the programmer is lost, hopefully misplaced or stolen, and he has the Tow Safe program still in there! Now, if he takes it in, the warranty is voided, they get charged for the repair, and the reprogramming.
Again, any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,
TPR

The first time it blew, was before the programmer, coated the back of the engine with oil, the second time was with the programmer, run mostly on preferred tow with a few runs on the High Performance setting (And yes, no towing on that one), replaced stock program and it was fixed. Now it has been run on nothing but Tow Safe and it blows again. Since it happened prior to programming as well, there seems to be a weak point in the OEM oil line. I've heard that the programmer can increase crankcase pressure which might blow the line, but like I said, it happed prior to programming as well. I know someone else with a 2000 PS and they have never blown a line with or without the programmer and runs 38's (Now Re-geared) and tows a 34' hauler.

That or any programmer won't do anything to change oil pressure. That's a bunch of doo-doo (trying to clean up the forum[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img])
A couple of things ahve happened here. Either heat got to the oil lines and/or the oil rings & connections, The tech did not do a proper repair to the first issue, the pressure relief valve is stuck or letting too much pressure pass through the system, and/or you have a bad oil filter.
Change the oil & filter and then take a oil pressure test to see what the oil pressure is at idle and at higher rpm's. Then you can find out if it's an internal issue or poor repair job.
My two cents................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] good luck with it

NEVER EVER!! LOL
I have wanted to do that to my old ford some day. For now I have a scuba tank I use to fill after pismo. I can fill my 4 tires on the truck from 12 psi to 50 and my sons mazda from 6 psi to 36 twice on one filling.
I always tell the wife when I am spending money. She doesnt always agree but I still spend it

True to your word[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
What size tank are you using? I've thought of that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] seeing I have 2 aluminum 80s sitting in the garage.

TPR, I would trust what Creator aka: Trasher speaks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I too, can't see how they are related.
I know with my Bank chip, once I remove it, the truck programs itself back to stock figures. Not sure how it works with the programmer type though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
As far as warranty coverage, the dealer really needs to prove that the damage was caused by the modifications that were done on the truck. They just can't say no warranty, due to modifications that have been done. Especially, if your problems are "O" ring related. How does one relate to the other???

I was told a 90 cubic foot model. I got it from a friend of mine, the bummer is that I need him to get it filled and I cant get a hold of him. You need a scuba license to get one filled. You dont have one, do you?

Thanks for the help guys, I have one more resource to check this weekend, friend of a friend who is a diesel mechanic for Ford. He does aftermarket upgrades to them on the side and knows those trucks inside and out.
The Superchips Programmer makes a copy of the stock tuning and stores it on the unit so you can install the performance tuning. When you want to change back, it takes the stock tuning and re-loads it to the computer.
