    2005 Ford 6.0L Powerstroke? The VR70 is ready!

    The VR70 is now available for your 2005 F250-F550 Ford Super Duty trucks with the 6.0L Powerstroke. There have been several minor changes to the system that have caused us to create Adapter parts, dependant on the model year of the truck.

    There are now two new Adapter parts. V900080 for 2003/2004 = A900001. V900080 for 2005 = A900002.


    2005 Ford 6.0L Powerstroke? The VR140 is ready!

    The VR140 is now available for your 2005 F250-F550 Ford Super Duty trucks with the 6.0L Powerstroke. There have been several minor changes to the system that have caused us to create Adapter parts, dependant on the model year of the truck.

    There are now two new Adapter parts. V910006 for 2003/2004 = A910001. V910006 for 2005 = A910002.


    2005 Ford? The VMAC Throttle Commander is ready!

    We would like to thank everyone who was involved in our throttle survey that we conducted. Based on your information, we now have a new SEIC Throttle.

    The 2005 F250-F550 Super Duty Trucks and Econoline Vans (over 8500 GVW) will all feature Ford's new High Idle System. The Stationary Elevated Idle Controls (SEIC) is an engine control that has been internalized into the vehicle computer. The introduction of this idle control means the retirement of Ford's old APCM model. The SEIC will be adjustable by using various resistors for a particular engine speed. A chart will be available from the Ford Body Builder division to determine what resistor to use for various RPM settings. Multiple idle speeds may be technically challenging using this method.

    VMAC is proud to introduce an easy solution for both the gas and diesel engines. The brand new Throttle Commander has many of the features found in older models. These new SEIC modules have 2 adjustable speeds, a port for a remote pendant option, easy to follow instructions and complete compatibility with the vehicle's computer. The new Throttle Commander is now available.

    The T500107 will fit all diesel models and the T500108 will fit all gas models. Place your orders now to ensure timely delivery.
