Nobody has that programmer.. Since you bought it off ebay or something.. Who ever sold it to you got smart and bought something else that is better and STUCK you with some out dated POS.. You should have bought a MADs smarty JR or SR... Even a Bully dog would have been better then some outdated POS
Thanks I hope that helps

had no intention of responding to your reply veggie pizza but figured what the heck.
so it starts for me like this.
made a post looking for help and get nothing, frustrating.
so figure what did i waste my time for and took care of the problem on my own.
then i get hammered for buying said pos.
these forums are to help people right, didn't work for me.
now i'm monitoring parameters, have a significant increase in power, better fuel economy, very little smoke, throwing no codes, and the engine seems to like it.
something wrong with that?????????????
rather than just calling the van aaken a pos why couldn't you just say what's so much better about the latest and greatest ????????
can i get them as cheap or do i have to throw a big wad of money at them??????????
do they remove the third event and apply the fueling to the first or second??????
do they run cooler, not having a problem as is.
do they make a lot more power and keep reliabilty????????
what is so much better then my pos???????????
the van aaken commander is the same thing as the quadzilla commander!
i used the quad directions to install my van aaken.
the same right down to the color coding, operating istructions and all, it's the same thing!
so are you saying the quadzilla is a pos???????????????
they may not like you calling their product an antiquated pos buddy.
hey you have a good one now uumm, buddy.

Damn, that got ugly in a hurry.

Sorry you didn't get the response ya wanted bud, but like Pizzo said, not many folks use it. Sorry that's not what you wanted to hear but to get all butt hurt, delete your posts and tell folks to have a great life is just childish. What kind of response did you expect?

How about we back up off the soot pipe a bit fellas.

Puff, puff, pass.....it's the internet fellas.

Since Quadzilla make the van aaken commander then. They Turn around and sell it to you for A nice mark up...

What kind of reply would you expect? I didn't post. Normally being the helpful guy I am I really should have posted and just stated that. I'm not to sure how that product operates and you might want to contact the manufacturer on installing that product. Because not to many people here use it or the people that are on here regularly that I know don't use that particular product...


I guess our hot mouths got our tempers flared and I am sorry for calling what you bought A POS.. That was uncalled for... And I normally would say stuff like that to anyone.. It must have been one of those days for me. I guess I should have kept my big mouth shut..

I guess you are right, does the product work for you? YES I see that it does just by your reply...

Now on a better note.. How do you like it?
How much did you pay for it anyways?
Does it show all the info that you need?
What are the power settings?
what kind of Horsepower increases do you get?
What power settings do you leave it set on?

pizzo not a lot time right now so will be short.
1. very happy with it, plug and play.
2. $75 for c5 and $50 for the commander. c5 still factory sealed, commander like new.
3. look up the quad commander same info, it's the same thing.
4. stock, 80/90 and 120/130.
5. 80/90.
now never dynoed, don't race it just was looking for a bit more power and removing turbo lag.
zero problems and i feel like i got a bargain and a half.
will talk later must go and take care.

Well that is good.. I have looked it up with out Real Luck on the power setting.. it was a post about how it was made by quadzilla.. And have the people making the post was having issues with it.. example The screen went black or no back light.. they had to take it out and send it back several times before it was fixed correctly.. quoted from Ford Forums... One person had Wiring issues but I think his problems was self inflicted. He cut a wire with out realizing what he had done....
Does that monitor anything EGT's? If so, they are not to High with your power settings are they?
