Here is a sample file.

I don't see a torque to fuel map. Does the 7.3 not use one? The pedal map has units of percent, and I'm wondering what they refer to?

The pedal map is going to tie Throttle position to a Fuel Mass Desired percentage. This number translates to the Fuel Volume Desired in the Injector Pulsewidth Table.

Will this tune any parameters for the transmission on the 7.3 ?

Yes. Transmission is supported.

Thank you so much Eric!

I am very excited for this!

I'm getting a fail when I try reading. I've tried it on 2 different vehicles already. I have the latest beta update. Just wondering it I'm doing something wrong. It doesn't seem to find the VIN or what style of PCM it is. When I select EEC-V and enter the VIN manually. it tries reading and them fails.

Yes

My excursion would do that on a snap on scanner and I would cycle the key off and back on fast and retry

Thanks!! It worked!!! I turned the key on like normal and then right before I did a read, I quickly turned the key off then on. Now though I get a checksum error and definition failed to load. So have to figure that out.

I just got the mpvi2 pro, downloaded the suite and the beta. when hooked up to our 2000 f350 7.3, the only thing that shows up on the table is the rpm, vehicle speed and boost. everything seems to work fine on our 2012 f150, and 1999 Silverado. just have problems with the powerstroke. I'm just trying to see what is happening when 4 of the cylinders are shutting off at "over 1500 rpm and more than 2 lbs of boost" condition occurs. any ideas on what I need to do to read this vehicle?

I haven't messed much with the scan software.. I use my nDash for that... The little I've messed with it though, I you have to add channels before you can add PIDs.. It took awhile for me to figure that out and i didn't have the time to set it all up... How do you know it's shutting 4 concerts off?

Okay so the 7.3l powerstroke is suppose to be able to tune now...I have jumped threw all the upgrade hoops an am not getting what I need... so long story short 2002 f350 powerstroke 7.3l. I scan it I get like 3 parameters I can see that is all why? I have not gone to the tune side yet. The truck has t4 turbo an upgraded valve body. It is currently running a hydra setup. The truck is lagging in shifts an not shifting correctly. HP what do i need to do to get scan acess. With my duramax I can see everything shift points time to shift ect... I am stuck an no where does anyone say anything about how this is suppose to work on these trucks. Ideally I would like to go to stock tune an tune it with HP. Is this possible? What are the steps here? How do I get to see the other parameters? Thank you

Seriously not even a response from HP!😂

Do you have the Beta software? Try emailing support, I get a response within 24 hours every time

do you know how to get the tunes from your hydro? if so I can adjust them for you, then you can still have your 15position adjustability if needed

For those of you looking for more information on the Scanner PIDS. I am working on putting a list of them together to email into support so that we can get them added. All the Ford diesels lack a few critical PIDs that are needed to successfully tune them. But HP Tuners is very good about helping out and getting stuff added.

It should be know that as of now the only way to be able to work a file from the 7.3s is to read it and email it to support and they fix the checksum and send it back. It's a pain but it is what it is.

I have disconnected the aftermarket chips that were installed in the truck before pulling the tune out so I can't speak to how that will work.

Is it possible to read my hydra tunes with vcm editor and be able to change trans shifting?

i have not tried to read a 7.3 pcm with the "chip" plugged in, but i would recommend against it, why not just adjust the tunes from the hydra? and skip Hp, since they dont support the Switch on fly like a ts 6pos or hydra

Is it possible to adjust the hydra tunes with hp?

no, you need to use winols or minatour

silver64- what box code are you working with?

Has anyone tried the scanner on these lately to see if they added any PIDs? I have someone that wants one tuned, but if nothing has been added maybe i'll see what Forscan can log.

any update on this vehicle? I have a 2000 f350 7.3 and mpvi2. every time I try to connect with the vehicle running to scan and log pids it kills the truck.....not to sure what to think. I'm not going to license the truck if I can't log and scan codes...

Is the truck an early 99?

any one got links that work for the scanner and editor trying to look at my 7.3 excursion or a link for the pids if kadams87 uploaded some

I'm getting the "definitions failed to load" error when "attempting to contact HP Tuner servos" error when reading my 2003 7.3. My response from HP Tuner support was:
Thank you for contacting support

I have forwarded the file to our engineer for review, unfortunately I'm not able to offer any eta or any promises for this application.

I'm trying to build a bench setup for a 2001 7.3. I have the Data Link Connector wired to the PCM, and all power and grounds connected.
When I attempt to read or scan, I get "unable to setect vehicle diagnostic protocol"
I'm using the latest Beta on an MPVI2.
Anyone else have a functioning bench setup?

Just wait the engineer will fix your file and send it back to you so you can tune it. Worst case they will just send you a stock copy of your current strategy.

Does anyone have any experience tuning for single shot injectors?

why even release so called "support" for stuff if it hasnt even been proven to work at all. all this does is make it a huge waste of time for whoever attempts it and a complete waste of money for nothing

Not that you care by now I am sure. I am going to bet you have an aftermarket lift pump. When you connect with it running it cuts power an your lift pump turns off. You will need to direct wire your lift pump to battery in that case.
