Pro Cal, and Ford software update?

[docshelby]

If I update the software as the prompts keep telling me, every time I get in the truck, am I going to lose my Pro Cal tune? Thank you.

Only a PCM update would wipe the tune. However, in the case of a Ford Performance tune, if you get sent an OTA for the powertrain control module, the update will fail by design to prevent the tune from being wiped. What you are supposed to do is wait for Ford Performance to update the tune with the new update. At that point, you update the Pro Cal itself and when you flash the new tune onto your vehicle, it will update the module.

Do not update. I just got off the phone with Ford. I tried to update mine and it screwed the programmer. Lost my stock file and now going through process and hopefully they can get it back. Was told there are never any updates. In fact said once you get program to not even connect to computer again.

Sorry to hear about the issue, but I am not sure why they would say that to you. There is a thread on this forum where several Ranger owners updated their Procal to obtain a newer tune and successfully flashed it on their trucks.
