Hi All I'm new to this forum and am really enjoying the info! However I'm a little confused concerning Hypertech chips...I called and confirmed that they do not support shifting options for 08 Expys yet one or two people have claimed the effect on the shifting was worth the cost...can someone clear this up for me...and Thanks

Some of the programmers allow changing the shift points and trans line pressure by 25, 50,75,100%. Unfortunately, that was not an option for the 08. What can be done is raise/lower "redline" before shifts +/- 100-500. The rest of the drivability feel comes from the program. I ran mine on the 87 tune and +400 on the rpms. Sadly, I sold my Expy, but still have the programmer if interested.

Has anyone had any experience with the Jet Programmers? Model 15043 by specs does everything on an 08 5.4 except "fan" adjustments for $337@summit.

Thanks Dib52 I just might be, still doing some research on things. I bought my 08 a couple of weeks ago and just started exploring the options for it. The Jet programmer plus claims to do shift points and firmness on 08 as well...Off topic, but I see one guy on here that liked the Specter CAI, Its so much cheaper than these others I've been looking at, saw it this morning for $148...Cost saving is a "really" good thing right now but not at the expense of quality/effectiveness so still trying to find "my way":) Thanks again and I will keep your HT in mind for sure.

Well I ended up finding a good deal on the "Jet Performance Programmer" so I ordered it... Couldn't find much real world reviews or comments on it so hope it wasn't a mistake! Hope to do some "intake" mods as well in the next week or so.

Your post is from a few months ago but wanted to see if you still had this tuner and if you did, if your looking to sell it.

I have an 07 XLT

Does any company make a tuner for the 2013 Expedition? I've been scouring the net looking for one, but so far nothing.
