Anyone on here with around an 02 F250 with the 7.3L diesel use the tony wildman 6 position chip? If you do or know anyone who has it can you give your opinion on it? I'm thinking about ordering it and was just wanting to see 1. if you like it 2. can you tell a real differnce in the different setting 3. how has it helped with fuel economy 4. what all other upgrades have you done like injectors, hpop, turbo, etc. Thanks for your time.

Had it on a 02. Yes you can tell the difference in settings. I believe it had stock, high idle, 50, 75, 100 or maybe the last one was more, don't remember. Use caution on the highest setting it sends the egt temps through the roof rather quick. I ran it on the 50 most of the time and I remember getting around 18mpg. I liked because all you had to do was spin a knob and it could be done on the fly

Somebody that had a white F-250 worked there with the Bigdics window decal. I have been looking into the TW chip also. Go to the powerstrokenation.com or powerstroke.org forums and their will be some people on there that have the TW chip. If you do get the chip, let us know how it works out..

I remember Tony from back in the 90's on the Ford-Diesel.com site owned by Jason Lester, then Ford made him change the site name, so he named it TheDieselStop.com T Wildman was the guru when it came to programming chips for the 7.3.... Neat to see he is still involved in the PSD.

yea circle c, thats all i hear about when i looked up chips for 7.3L and everything i read was pretty much pointing at tony so i just said well if 85% of the internet that has it loves it then i'm betting that it is pretty good.
