I took advantage of the July 4th promo to order the ProCal including installation. I just got back from the dealer and they told me they tried to do the update but it came back as unsupported on my 2026! Has anyone else had the same issue? I will also reach out to Ford Performance to see what they have to say.

Last I heard, people were installing it on 2026 Raptors, but its still not CARB-approved, so it won't install in Cali or any of the states that support CARB. So slightly less than half the states have restricted it. Last I looked that was:
  • New York
  • New Jersey
  • Massachusetts
  • Oregon
  • Washington
  • Colorado
  • Virginia
  • Maryland
  • Connecticut
  • Rhode Island
  • Maine
  • Vermont
  • Delaware
  • Minnesota
  • Nevada
  • New Mexico
  • Pennsylvania
  • Washington D.C.
Oh, and Cali of course. Not sure if anyone else has joined lately.

I'm in NH. I spoke with a guy called Tom Ford Performance who's the top ProCal guy. He walked me through updating the ProCal device to have the tune. He basically said the dealer didn't know what they were doing. I still need to go back to the dealer for them to apply the tune.

My ProCal installed just fine on my 2026 in Colorado. I’d agree that they don't know what they were doing

Makes you wonder about that whole warranty thing… 🤨

You can have any ASE certified machinic do the installation. Doesn't have to be one at a dealership.

I had my son-in-law do mine on my 2024 and Ford accepted his credentials.

Yeah, but I paid for the install ($112) when ordering so it seems crazy not to have them do it. Fingers crossed they don't scew it up!

I tried 2 dealers in Maryland that refused installation. Third dealer pushed the button for me (I programmed the procal up to final button push) for $301.95. I kept my mouth shut and my warranty.

I had the ProCal included in the sale of my 2026 Ranger Raptor, had the dealer install, and it was one of the first installs in March of 2026 with no issues.

If you have multiple Ford dealerships near you, I'd call the service departments and find one that has installed several and is familiar with them. I bought my Ranger Raptor from a volume dealer. I went to the service department and discussed the tune. They had done a bunch and knew it inside and out. I opened the account on my computer, entered the code, and brought my computer to the appointment. They did the rest including downloading the tune on my computer, moving it to the Procal tool, installing it and knocked out the latest recall in an hour and a half.

I’m rebooked in on Tues for them to press the button. I could do it myself but I want the warranty.
The ProCal changes your 5 year/60,000 warranty to 3 year/36,000 miles. I added the Ford Premiumcare warranty right away (before the 12 month/12,000 mile warranty expires) so there were no issues trying to add it later with questions about performance mods.

No, the 3/36 is just the procal warranty. You still have your original warranty. We all have already been over and over that. There are tons of threads in it and people called and spoke to ford about it

Good to know, I understood that differently. I wanted to be sure there were no questions on my extended warranty as I plan to keep this one. Of course that was what I said about my 392 Wrangler a couple years ago, as well as its predecessors. It seems my stint on vehicles is about 18-24 months, but with retirement close it may be extended.
