4wd launch-Reduced power after engine oil level to high code?

Klutch · May 20, 2016

My truck has IDP tunes, different turbo setup, Industrial hpfp.

Truck runs great other than it will throw the engine oil too high code and reduce power after I do a hard 4wd launch. Anyone run into this and find a solution? I've reloaded the tune and still happens. Any help is appreciated!!

Thx, Cole.

is the oil level too high?

Im thinking its splashing just right...

where does the "different" turbo setup drain?

Klutch · May 20, 2016

Ya the oil level is good.

Turbos drain into the top of the engine in the valley.

Never throw a code unless I launch it hard. Kinda lost on this one. What sensor tells the ecu the oil level would be high?

Sounds like all the oil is getting sloshed to the back of the pan on a launch. Not sure what sensor would throw that code unless the newer trucks have an oil level sensor. My 08 doesn't, or at least I don't recall seeing one when the motor was out and torn apart.

To set that code the pcm monitors rpm change during crank rotation. Kinda like its doing a relative compression test while its running. Does the truck run kinda rough after a hard launch? Does the code set during yhe launch or after?

Is it this code?

The new 3.02 6.4L tune release will be available late next week and have the following upgrades:

1. New Xtreme X program. Built for racing/pulling, etc.

2. Revised Xtreme Race and Xtreme Street for excellent drivability.

3. New shifting program for large turbo trucks or those who like the delayed 4th and 5th gear lockup with more aggressive downshifting. Great daily driver shifting with quick shifts, but not aburpt.

4. Fix for P252F Oil Overfill and Overboost codes with the latest Ford flash.

It's a free update for those running 3.01.

All of these programs are available via email. Emailed tunes have a charge associated with them, they are discounted if you have already have our tuning.

Thanks!

Doesn't run rough, just reduced power. The code sets during launch, around 70mph.

Yep! That's the code. Looks like their update might be what I need. But are they even offering it anymore? Looks like they only do emission compliant tuning now.

If not, who else could I use for tuning. I have been out of the diesel world for a few years.

Yep. I had this problem. Powerstroke man 6.4 helped me out on this a couple years ago. I brought my truck to Eric and he updated my tunes. He also had me put my truck back to stock and flashed it with an older stock file before reflashing with his tune.
