Will this work on my 97 7.3 5 spd. How are the power gains and fuel mileage

I bought it for a 03 f350 powerstroke. I would call the company edge and ask if it is acceptable with your powerstroke.goodluck

I own a 96 7.3 with the 4 speed auto so I cannot answer if it will work with the manual. I will say that the power gains have been impressive. I bought this with the intent of getting a little better towing performance and better fuel mileage. I have mine programed for the second level. I am seeing about 1-1.5 mpg better than previously. I will say that I am not stomping on the throttle. I don't want to burn my truck up. Hope that helps.

You will sacrafice fuel milage, mine went from 42 mpg to 38 mpg. But worth it to me. I've made mods to the engine and changed exhaust 2 or 3 times and the Auto-tune keeps it running at peak performance. No more costly dyno after mods!

on fuel economy mode no change in mpg (same) i run now 87 performance what a power diference lower end gets a lot of kick ,it realy shows serious power on 93 performance but i dont want to run 93 because of $ per gal so you'll be happy with 87,i got that unit just for towing i tow 6 k boat than it burns less fuel and pulls way better up hill here in new england would highly recommend cortex (only) nothing else ,my last truck dodge ram with flushpeg waist of money no change in power stay away cortex kicks a.. Buy it and enjoy it

The one I bought worked perfectly . It replaced a motor used on a 97 Flair.

I works on my 1987 30HP ad 1980 -15hp.... I might be wrong, but I think it should work on 7 1/2 as well

Anytime you increase horsepower in an engine you stand to abuse the tranny, rear-end, and tires along with everything else in the suspension. It really depends on your personal driving habits. If it's a Ford 7.3 you're driving, I saw a terrific increase in power with my 96 F350 with the 100 HP kick. A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. Would have liked to have seen better mileage but only have a single 4 inch exhaust out. My drive habits did not see an increase in mileage if not lost some. A friend of mine drives a 2001 or 2 Ford Exabition with this programmer and has increased his mileage 20-25%.

The 40410 and the 40417 will both work on your truck as long as you have a gas engine just note if you plan to run the performance tune you will need to run premium has 93 octane or higher any other tunes should be fine with regular i have my chevy set to the tow mode with higher shoft points and firmness and usualy run mid grade gas unless the wife gets gas then she gets the cheap stuff took a 600 mile round trip just the other day and averaged around 19-20 mpg with 35 in tires

Depends on how old or new your vehicle is. The newer it is the more likely is it to output more data and utilize most of the gauges on your vehicle. I have an 03 7.3 and it only outputs boost (which was incorrect) and speed and Rpms. Not very satisfied with an 03 but in my dads 2013 6.7 it put out everything

It might. The power is not an issue but whether or not the shaft will line up is. I measured my old engine and it seemed close enough to the specs on the new so I took a shot. This engine is made with a few different shaft lengths and heights. Find the one closest to yours. As far as the engine goes it's great, starts on the first pull every time and I already have 15 to 20 hours on mine. Good luck.

Had 07 jk Rubicon with 35's and it was just fine. Cld fine tune Speedo to accurate mph read. Got 15.5 mpg with 35's and 4.10 gears.

I had to tweak the carb on my 06 Sporty. If you have EFI then it too will need some tweaking. And I installed Screamin' Eagle air kit. More power instantly and way more responsive. If you do one you gotta do em all.

That is impossible to tell. That all depends on 1. what its being installed into 2. How much power you are putting through the motor. 3. what pinion are you using that changes everything. A better way of asking would have been to say If I put this inti my stock xxxxxxx will it go faster?

I think it would eventually because once you feel how much quicker the truck will be with this boost in power, you won't want to baby it anymore. It really gets rid of that factory 7.3 sluggish feeling. Way faster throttle response and quick off the line.

Hello Christopher , well what I can tell you is that it will attach and work , depending on the OEM intake there may be some slight fabrication that may have to be done whether it's the screws that come with the kit or modifying the air box in some way but it will work , expect smoother RPM levels between shifts and overall acceleration increase , nothing will be massive but I like to call it an across the board gain , rpm, mpg's , hp, etc.. You will not be disappointed .

Mine was turbo'd and straight pipe'd when I got it and I live in Texas so it was the only way I could pass emissions, as far as power gains I'm not real sure since all I did was a rebuild and sold it with 30 miles on the engine

It works on my 2000 F350 SD 7.3L Powersmoke. You do have to load the settings in the Torque App separately for these vehicles though, it's under settings and PID's. Also, your coolant temp may not show (mine doesn't) but that's not hte fault of this piece, the coolant temp isn't sent to the ECM from what I read.

I have had this programmer on my '96 7.3 for four years. Never a problem, and it does improve the performance . I haven't noticed any better fuel mileage, but it does improve shift points when towing. I wouldn't recommend using it on the higher settings without a full set of gauges -- EGT, Boost, and Transmission temp at a minimum. I put in an extra transmission cooler just to be safe. Running at higher power settings puts extra stress on the engine and tranny and makes things run hotter. Running synthetics will also help keep the heat down.
