Description

Want to boost your ride's horsepower but don't want to crawl under the hood to do it? Hypertech's Power Programmer III makes it easy: Just plug this self-contained automotive tuning computer into the under-dash diagnostic plug, answer a series of yes/no questions, and the Hypertech Power Programmer III goes to work.

The Hypertech Power Programmer III instantly recognizes your vehicle's power train by reading your VIN for specific information on the engine, transmission and drivetrain. For some vehicles (see Detailed Info), you can even tell the Hypertech Power Programmer III to tune your vehicle for optimal performance with 87-octane or premium 93-octane gasoline. Plus, it'll adjust for aftermarket components such as non-stock tire sizes and rear-end gear ratios, too.

For many vehicles, the Power Programmer III unlocks 3 stages of performance tuning. Stage 1 gives you a modest boost and may improve fuel mileage. Or, dial up to stage 3 for heavy-duty towing and intense thrust. Lifetime Warrnaty.

Notes

  • Please note that the 8th digit of the VIN Code designates which engine the vehicle is equipped with. Please verify your vehicle's engine code for proper Hypertech unit.
  • Flex Fuel Vehicles: fueling with E85 is not recommended in conjunction with your Hypertech unit. Burning E85 reduces efficiency and power compared to using gas, which nullifies the effect of Hypertech's programming.

"I've got the 5.4L, even with the performance setting for 87 octane it made a noticable difference. I bought it for the sole purpose of adjusting the speedometer due to putting low profile 18's on but the programmer came before my wheels and I had to try it out the power settings. It definitely made it more fun to drive."

must have for trailer towing

Posted on 03/07/2006 by Christopher W. (Orange Park,FL)

"When the GM tech recommended this solution to my rear end being a 4.10 now instead of the standard 3.73 that the 1500 came with I was skeptical. For a 1996 Van there is no other out there that even touches rear end and tire size change . My wife noticed the shift point changes without being told. I have not evaluated the difference in using the 87 and 91 octane programs but at 12 miles per gallon with 91 loaded I will have to be at the base of the Rockies with a full load of water before I use it again. My MPG without is 14 so I assume there is more power but we live in Florida and during the test we were commuting not towing. I will let you know when we get to the base of that mountain that last time almost defeated my van taking it down to 26 mph to get over this summer when I return to the scene of the reason to upgrade my tranny. by the way listing in the catalog does not include my Van but the program does. I often have that problem with the R engine van built on the 1500 truck frame. GM changed nomenclature in 1995 for calling them g20 vans to the 1500 /express designation and that confused the parts suppliers."

too simple to use like 123, but.......

Posted on 03/05/2006 by Roberto P. (Randolph,MA)

"it easy to use the power programmer but after I tune it with my 2004 F150 with transmition firmness and after market tire with big size 33"my idle feel drop to 600rpm with after maket AEM INTAKE SYSTEM & MASTERFLOW exhaust.After a week my engine light went on & I plug back the programmer to read the DTCS,give me the code #171 & 174 saying fuel to lean on bank -1 & Bank-2,so I clear the DTCS & I tune it back to stock cofiguration. Now I'm stock with programmer which is useless with my case cause,if I power tune my truck again I'm going to have the same problem with the engine light on & I can't get a state inspection. I don't know if I can make adjustment with this programmer to enrich the fuel mixture. R.Parial (MASSACHUSETTS)"

Gas Hog Diet! 5.9l Dodge Durango

Posted on 03/02/2006 by Mike C. (Baytown,TX)

"The Hyperttech Power Programmer III is a great product! I'm getting 3+ miles a gallon more out of my 5.9l 2000 Dodge Durango. This is on 87 octane. I can't wait to take a trip I'm sure it will do even better! Programming was easy with simple and clear to use instructions. It took all of 15 minutes, if that, to install the program. Great price, product, and shipping. Great customer service, quick and friendly. Thanks."

"Daily commuter that needed a little bit more positive transmission upshifting. Hypertech PPIII instructions were easy to read, understand and install. Runs like a different car now - hard to keep my foot off the gas pedal. Would recommend this product, especially, to non-mechanics, like me, that want just a little more punch in performance, rather than spending thousands of dollars on additional add-ons. "Try it, you'll like it.""

HPP III a Must Have for my '04 GMC SIERRA CREW W/5.3VORTEC

Posted on 02/28/2006 by John W. (Rock Falls,IL)

"This Power Programmer is an excellent product that is easy to use. I immediately noticed the firmer shifts and quicker response off the line. Haven't tried it yet with 93 octane, but am looking forward to it to see the difference in performance. Overall, simple to program if you follow the instructions verbatim. Mileage seems slightly better. Highway is around 17mpg vs. the usual 15mpg I was getting before. And.....you don't have to take it to the dealer to change tire size/speedo ratios, plus can read trouble codes.....awesome! Highly recommend to anyone. Just don't expect your ride to turn into a dragster, because that's not it's purpose. It harnesses the best performance from the engine without any wrenching. If you want extreme performance, you will most likely have to modify the engine itself. Hypertech has done their math on this one!"

"Well I finally bought one, and I can say it was worth every penny. I use this on my 1997 Chev Pickup. Good gains. I can feel the difference. I see the difference now when I am towing my toyhauler and atv's. I am very happy with my purchace. I would recommend this unit to anyone with my same situation. I needed a little more power for towing. And a plus is that the gas mileage has inproved a small amount. I searched and searched and did not find a lower price than right here on AutoAnything."

Unbelievable

Posted on 02/23/2006 by William M. (Grand Ledge,MI)

"I put this on an F-350 crew cab 7.3 Powerstroke that has a 4 inch lift and 35's. I was getting about 11.3 miles per gallon. Installed hypertech reset the computer to the correct tire size, firmer shifts and stage III (100HP) and I am getting an average of 16.5 MPG (17.7 HWY). I figure this thing will save me $1,182.00 in fuel this year alone. Should have pulled the trigger on this purchase along time ago. Bill"
