Tune your 2020-2021 F-Series Super Duty with HP Tuners

HP Tuners is proud to offer a complete diagnostics and custom-tuning solution for 2020-2021 Ford F-Series Super Duty vehicles with the 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel starting with our MD1 ECM upgrade service. Supporting the Ford MD1CP006 ECM, we offer a one-time, send-in upgrade service to get your vehicle’s ECM ready for tuning.

Once upgraded, you will use an MPVI2 or newer device to connect with VCM Scanner to scan, diagnose, and data log important parameters. Then use VCM Editor to access engine parameters within Airflow, Fuel, Torque Management, and more to build a custom tune that fits your needs. Plus, our solution provides this access directly via the OBDII port using an HP Tuners interface.

Upgrade Service

Our one-time, send-in upgrade option will upgrade your original ECM to enable tuning in VCM Suite. Simply send us your ECM and we’ll send it back to you fully upgraded for tuning in the latest VCM Suite (BETA).

Make sure to include the VIN when checking out (always double-check your VIN for accuracy to avoid delays). This service takes 3-5 business days to complete (not including shipping times).

Important Note: This is a send-in service that requires you to send HP Tuners your original ECM for servicing.

  • Please note this service is required to tune your 2020-2021 Ford F-Series Super Duty vehicles with the 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel engine.
  • Please ensure you are sending in ONLY a ECM. No brackets, rubber isolators, or other pieces should be included. These components may not be returned with your upgraded ECM.
  • This service only upgrades your original ECM for tuning, it does not reprogram your ECM for a different VIN. If you intend to send HP Tuners a spare MD1CP006 ECM, it will be returned to you with the same programming as it was received and may not operate in your Ford vehicle without additional programming by a Ford dealer.
  • ECMs with broken “LOCKING” tabs or connectors WILL NOT be accepted for upgrades. No exceptions.
  • This is a one-time upgrade that will not affect other operations of the ECM.
  • No other tuning or calibration tools can be used with the ECM post-upgrade (including dealer reflash tools).

These steps only apply to the send-in upgrade service, NOT the new ECM purchase.

Step 1: Once you’ve confirmed your vehicle’s support (2020-2021 F-series Super Duty diesel truck with the MD1CP006 ECM), purchase the upgrade service.
