Yes, HTP can turn off ASS, that is the device I used but it is still up to the tuner if they will do it.

Got it. So it’s probably as the poster above mentioned and Cobb won’t mess with it after their skirmish with the EPA.

I have the procal tune and just switched to Cobb and Goose. The cobb OTS 91 tune feels slower than the procal. I cant compare Goose yet as we arent done with the tune. I do like how the procal shifting is different per each drive mode like factory. That is something you lose with the Cobb accesport. You have a choice of OEM+ or Sport for transmission tunning. Would be nice if Cobb could have somehow kept factory style transmission tuning that was dependent on drive modes. It also seems cobb does not allow turning off the auto start stop which I think you can do with other tunning options? Goose said he cant even turn it off. Coming from a 500+ wheel horsepower Supra tuned with EcuTek I guess maybe I'm asking too much of the cobb accessport. ECUtek had amazing capabilities for tuning where I feel this handheld style tuner lacks quite a bit. Once Goose is done with my tune I am going to try to go down to the dyno and run all of them to see how they compare.
Wow thanks for the info, pretty crazy how substantial turning ASS off when tuning is for me. May not go with Cobb now, regardless of ease of use.

Y’all don’t just hit the r mode when you get in your truck? I never have ASS turned on because I go straight to r mode.

I do, except for 5 am on my way to work as my R mode is setup for baja exhaust. I understand its a little annoyance but just kind of figured for the money that small option would be there.

You can either just hit the button when you get in or spend the $40 or whatever it is for the ASS eliminator kit if its really that big of a deal.

I asked Cobb about auto start stop and this was their reply:
Hey there! From the factory, Auto Start/Stop settings in the Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor persist through key cycles. We do not intend to make any changes to that system.
I'll talk to then about that. That is the case with every Ecoboost truck, and they have SS turned off in those instances.

I'd expect start stop to be added/fixed shortly

I spoke with someone at Cobb a couple weeks ago when I received my AP. Knew it was pipe dream, but wanted access to accesstuner pro, as I still have it for my speed3. They mentioned they're working on a OTS map that will remove ASS, no ETA though.

It can be done. The Livernois tune turns it off.

Livernois is a canned tune, I'm sure it's fine but you can get better for the same money. They helped develop the FP tune and from talking with them their tune is a hopped up version of that.

True but saying canned give the connotation that it’s not good. The stock tune is canned as is the FP tune. It really boils down to use cases and convenience. I do know that they have access to engineering that others don’t have. Everyone has different needs and wants 🤷🏻‍♂️
