Love2Fish, it's not guaranteed to work but if you want to try to order the performance calibration though Steeda try get in contact with someone named Sonya Stevenson and tell her Kevin in FL with the red mustang sent you...I mean it is worth the shot if nobody else has them ... took 2 days from order to receive but I'm also close to their Valdosta and Pompano Beach facilities too.
Yes sir, most tuning companies offer a swappable ECU, however keep in mind Ford telemetry and the EDR (Event Data Recorder).
That's awesome!....I hope that it gets to you in a good time and we all get the results that we are hoping for.
Cool Thanks.Yes sir, most tuning companies offer a swappable ECU, however keep in mind Ford telemetry and the EDR (Event Data Recorder).
The odometer module isn’t controlled by the ECU, it’s a separate entity to itself. It will count upwards but not backwards. The ECU also stores mileage recordings as well.
Hence, the recorded mileage reading in the ECU, will not correspond to the new ECU, odometer, EDR or Ford Telemetr
So, if a savvy Ford technician or regional engineer, looks hard and thorough enough, they can find the differences.
It’s the price tuners have to pay when they play, which is passed on to the owner/user. The FDRS reads the ECU logs and EDR as well.
Bottomline, don’t attempt to hide a tune or a swappable tuned ECU from a dealership. With me, it’s a personal integrity issue. It’s the wrong thing to do.
Any idea if it can be unmarried and reassigned like Accessports?
It cannot.
Yes, you can install yourself and the instructions are easy to follow. Just make yourself aware of the warranty implications (many posts here about that) and determine if the risk is acceptable to you. Not a big risk, in my opinion, but others here will feel differently.
Not sure on this. The way I read the tons of stuff since the 2.3 tune came out on the tune, warranty, etc. the warranty is the standard warranty extending from the date of service (regardless of date of install) thru whatever remains of the 3 year portion of the warranty assuming you had Ford or ASE install. When you make a warranty claim Ford could and this remains nebulous as not sure there is any good info on how the tune could cause a power train failure, but Ford will know you had the tune and you will have to establish that either Ford or ASE tech installed the tune when you make the claim. Depending on the dealer, and if you've kept up on all the tune threads you know there are d-head dealers out there, they could under almost any power train failure try to blame the tune if you did not have Ford or ASE install and therefore consider the warranty void.It’s not at all, the warranty is only on the device and tune.
I am and we’ve already been thru this and I post the direct response from Ford Performance Supervision. You're simply speculating on what you think might happen if………….
,Just out of curiosity, I'm not backing RANGER/HOBB, just want know if the calibration calls out for this to be installed after a 1000 mile break in period ? I break my engines in the way I drive them, usually. I do my first oil change after a few 100 miles. Then another one after 2000 then, after that, it's every 5000. It seems if you can't break your engine in with this tune, from brand new, then maybe our engines can't really handle the tune ?
