Are you defending the dealership's claim that a solid-state ECU flash requires a "30-minute cooldown and rest period" before the truck can be driven, or are you instead insinuating I fabricated the story?
You have the phone number to either verify or debunk my claim. If they aren't Ford...
I also have the Procal and an S&B. I don't notice any more noise from the S&B that wasn't there before. The tune makes the truck behave IMO how it should have out of the box - shifting is much smoother and more logical. These two mods alone put a 2.7 XLT in stock Raptor territory for straight...
XLT here and very happy with the tune - I do notice the power increase which is augmented by more immediate throttle response (prolly because it following a logical shift progression now) but never expected it to be mind blowing. If I had a Raptor I prolly wouldn't notice it as much.
It's not...
I have the tune and an Intake but I put the bolt-on in first. If by results you mean verifiable from a dyno tune I will not be doing that. Runs great with more power and smoother shifting at all rpms though.
Howdy all -

Well good news and bad news, such as it seems to be so often. I really want to know how I am an absolute grandmaster at attracting...
It;s getting the runaround from the Ford tech line. 4 calls and 5 emails over the last 10 days. They are always "going to get around to it," or they need something else. I know they are really busy so I am hoping they can sort this out.
My tuner (that I purchased in January in anticipation...
Like with lots of things I went a different way. In these trucks, you're not "hiding" a rifle in the cab from anyone looking, period. The seat storage is too small and behind the rear seat you'd need a toy .22 if anything is going to fit and even that is doubtful. So, hide it in plain sight...
I am going to link to the youtube video I did for this. I am NOT a content creator but every now and then I find a thing that might help others.
This is a short summary of what parts I used to install a VIOFO dashcam, Bel (yes, old) radar detector and the adapters and plugs used.
I thought ZFG already had one out for the 2.7. If Ford doesn't release theirs by mid-summer I might go with another vendor. Or, dynotune and program mine myself - it ain't that difficult to set shift points on a power curve.
No, this is going to be primarily street stock with a few goodies...
Well I finally got to this yesterday and today. Not that it took that long but I doubled up on the install of a couple of light kits (ditch lights for my upcoming trailer build plus a bed light kit) and I went back and forth between them with the Lion's share of time to the running of wires...
