"F250 6.4 liter 2008: The idle to acceletation to 15 mph does not change much, however once the turbo's kick in, the truck pulls you back into the seats,,, excelleration is very good, pulling loads is increased ability as well. Overall, very good change. Gas mileage increased by 2 miles a gallon, maybe a little more. Recomend adding ability to change shift points, and the truck would be a rocket. The hypertech made a big difference in the performance."

"Around town my truck shows an average of 12 mpg. I recently went on vacation and my odometer was saying i could go 450 miles. I ended up getting around 16 - 17 mpg. I didnt really see any power increase, guess cause the 6.0 already is a beast; but it is set on regular gas. The main reason i purchased it was for adding 26 inch rims which threw my speed off by 7 mph. Will update once I try it in high octane mode. If gas ever goes down enough!"

"Truck screams on top end. As fast or faster than stock Z-28 from 40mph up. Still sluggish from a dead stop. Can leave a gap between the rev limiter and 1st to 2nd gear shift point and the truck will break the tires loose in 2nd gear with traction control turned off. K&N series 63 cold air intake was a great complement to the programmer."

"I reprogrammed my stock 4.0 litre 2003 Jeep with the Hypertech Max Energy Programmer, the reprogramming was simple, just fllow the instructions. I was able to set the RPM limit 500 rpm's higher, and programmed for horsepwoer/torque on 86 octane fuel. I could feel the immediate different, the lower rpm torque could be noticed, but the biggest improvement was at higher altitude, the power was there, that wasn't before. I was not afraid to pass slower traffic, as before it took considerable distance to pass slower moving vehicles. It also can clear or diagnose most error codes, which is helpful."

"I have to admit i didn't notice incredible horsepower increases however i didn't expect to. The transmission adjustments and average 1-2 miles/gallon increase will more than pay for itself in short order. Easy to use, can download updates from the internet...all in all worth the money if your looking for it to help but not perform miracles."

"I installed the Hypertech on my 2001 Dodge 1500 4x4 with the 5.9 gas engine,in January 2008. So far I have not noticed any change in gas mileage, but I have noticed a difference in performance. Previously driving up hills the motor dogged down and had seemingly dead spot in acceleration which caused the motor to downshift more frequently, now it runs more consistently. Overall, I am pleased with the performance inhancement, and not impressed with the fuel savings, if any at all. Hopefully, warmer weather will allow the mpg to improve."

"I have a 2006 Duramax. I originally received a boost in horsepower and increased my mpg by 2mpg. However, after that, both flat-lined and I haven't seen the same smooth shifting nor have I continued to gain mpg. I'm hovering at about 1mpg better than without the MaxEnergy. The horsepower is still there, but the shifting is soft and slow. I'm going to change my fuel filter and see if that helps. I also plan to add an intake and exhaust which sure better make a difference."

More uses than just power programing

"I really like the power options but I really liked that you can read TCB's and clear them. That is a great new feature. I was also surprised to find how much you can control an automatic transmision. You can control more than just the shift firmness like the previous Hypertech Tuners, you can control the shift points between each gear. I found that raising the shift point a little from 3-4 keeps my truck from shifting into overdrive to soon and lugging. Being able to correct for larger tires is also great. This a very handy tool that has more purposes than you might think you would use."

"I purchased the Hypertech Max Energy Programmer for my 2003 Ford F-250 Powerstroke. My main interest was to improve my fuel milage, however, I also wanted to improve my towing performance with my 11,000 lb 5th wheel camper. I decided to install power level 3 first and give it a try. It took about 30 minutes to load and then I took it for a test drive. WOW! It certainly impressed me with the new found power it gave me on the off ramp. I have run two tanks of fuel through it and it has averaged about 18 mpg which was about the what I was getting before. I haven't had a chance to pull the camper yet, but I look forward to it. I have since loaded power level 1 just to see what the milage will average with that setting. I am on my first tank and my trip computer is setting on 21 mpg. I know this will be lower actually, but so far it seems it will help out with my 60 mile roundtrip every day to work. So far call me..Hyper-satisfied! Great product and easy to install."
