OPTIONAL: Permanently install your Hydra Chip w/ Extension cable and Bracket
The Hydra Chip includes 17 total memory slots for tuning presets (15 tuning presets, NO START, and MODULE BYPASS) to get the most performance and efficiency out of your truck no matter where or how you are driving! On the old, 6-position knob-style chip, you could never tell what preset you were running unless you counted the knob's clicks. On the new Hydra Chip, you can always see what tuning program you are running with its convenient LED switchbox. Using the up and down buttons on the switchbox, you can change your tuning preset on the fly.
When you purchase the Hydra Chip, you will have the ability to load 15 specific tunes for your truck make/year. The Software program is a FREE download. This Download will allow access to the complete inventory of PHP Standard 7.3L Tunes all at no additional charge. The USB connection on the Hydra Chip itself will allow you to load tuning presets to your chip without having to take it to a dealer or send it back to PHP! Just plug it into your computer and download your selections.
This feature is especially helpful if you order a custom tune from Power Hungry Diesel--they can email you the file (which is specific to your serial number) and you can install it yourself from the comfort of your home! If you purchase the in-truck USB dash adapter, you can even plug your laptop into the chip from your cab while it is still installed in your truck!
There are many reasons to equip your diesel truck with a chip such as the Hydra Chip. In some cases, a chip is simply the best way to tune your engine performance according to your various driving needs. That is, the performance of your diesel truck is situational. If you are just driving home from work, for example, you will want your engine to perform differently than if you are pulling a RV, racing, or showing off your diesel's muscle.
A chip allows you to store different program settings that will overwrite the stock computer software in your Ford. These preset files are programmed to tune how your engine runs. It runs the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and also controls the TCM (Transmission Control Module). In the ports, they’re act as an electronic PCM which allows you to control the shift points and shift pressures. For example, you can firm up the shifts or soften the shifts so that your truck shifts at different RPMs.
In other cases, you may need a chip to calibrate your computer-functions to match modifications you have done to your diesel.
