Ford Procal Performance Tune Installed!

Let me know what you find. No dealer in Port St Lucie will do it either.

Just do it yourself…

I didn’t have this issue at all. I went directly to the Ford Performance website and looked at their list of authorized dealers. I found Hillbank Motor Corp in Jupiter Fl. They ordered it and installed it without an issue.

You are awesome. I’ll give them a call.
Thanks.

Just be aware that they are not really a run of the mill mechanic shop. They work on and sell high end ford vehicles like Shelbys and GT500s. Though it was a quick and friendly experience; I got the feeling like my tune was an odd ball job that they accommodated on their down time. It was funny seeing my truck getting tuned next to a $200,000+ car.

Installing it yourself doesn’t forego the warranty like that…

Just took mine to a Ford performance shop, $275 was the charge. Also, to correct a couple of things and pose a new question:

1) Asked previously and someone said the tuner had to be installed in the truck, recommended A Pillar. While this might be convenient for flashing to original, etc., according to the guy I have installing it, it is not required (i.e. they can upload the tune and then hold onto the programmer to be used if needed).

2) Another thing he stated was that if I take it in for warranty work, recalls or programming the dealer will most likely install the original tune with updates which would mean I have to re-install the procal tune? Any thoughts/experience on this? Consider the recall that just came out for the driver window saying it will require an "update".

For those who have installed the tune, does it keep the aggressive downshift in sports mode when coming to stop or slowing down?

Also, as a side note, the guy that installed said it originally would not take and "required an update", not sure if he was talking about the tuner or the truck? Does that make sense to anyone?

It does downshift like it did prior. I enjoy the hell out of that sound

Yup, me also. I enjoy the downshifts. It's almost a engine break.
