T444 Looking to change computer

[BeginnerBusMan]

I have a 444 in my bus - and have the servicemaxx unlocked in "god mode". Can anyone send me the parameters to up it from the 175HP config to the 210HP config?

Thanks!

What year is your bus? It matters. I can tell you what to flash once I have that info. Don't go by the advertised year, go by the year manufactured on the steel plate in the engine compartment on upper passenger side firewall.

It also matters which transmission you have. You do not want to do this if you have an AT545 as it will be too much HP for your low end torque converter and it will slip on you. The engine overpowers it at 210hp. You'll give it gas, engine revs, and bus goes no where. It may work for a few but eventually it'll slip and not take and you stop mid drive. Speaking from experience.

Here's a really good thread filled with lots of info on the subject matter...

Increasing HP on T444E

I am the owner of a 2000 T444e at 175hp from the factory :ermm: ... I've been looking at ways to increase HP for a little more power on the hills. Ran across this recommended on a diesel forum: SP Diesel 99-03 7.3L Ford PowerStroke Diesel SIe +65HP/110TQ $299.99... it even has a fuel economy...

Thread above is outdated. Cadillackkid said can't do 210hp when you can. He learned later it's okay to do.

Hand me your year bus/ transmission type and I'll provide you the service max values to change.

Interesting...what about an 225hp HT dt466e?

I don't know about the DT466e's. I'd need to look into the Engine more. I only know about the T444E's 210hp is the max for the T444E without hardware modifications. With modifications you can get up to 360hp on the T444E. I imagine it can be bumped up some though with software only.
