Ford Performance Tune

Maybe because this is a "technical" modification. Seriously, the amount of effort Ford has put into this "tune" it wouldn't surprise me if all they did was amplify FENG in every drive mode, including ECO. PLEASE anyone who buys this do a pre and post tune run. I'll even loan you my P-Gear to log if you are near Cincinnati.

But you will need a Ford dealer to install the tune to keep the factory warranty.
Lethal Performance is selling the tuner for $695

- 3 year/36k mile warranty from new vehicle in-service when installed by a Ford dealer or ASE/Red Seal certified technician
From what I'm seeing it's not the factory warranty but a different Ford Performance warranty. Not sure how that affects things.
I called some local dealers last week when this was announced and they either said they don't do this or they'd get back to me, but haven't heard back.
Everyone sure likes to complain about the price. 30HP and 50TQ is a pretty good gain for the price when compared to how much it costs to make power and keep some sort of warranty. I'd also rather have the warranty since these Explorers seem to have lots of problems, so this is worth it for me. If I wanted to squeeze every last ounce of power out of the vehicle I sure wouldn't be wasting my time doing it to an Explorer. I see this as simply a small power bump and I'm happy that Ford is supporting the platform, especially when it looked like this wasn't going to happen due to the rear end bolt problems.

That's a lot like the response I got from the dealer I bought it from, even though the salesperson was going on about all the Ford Performance stuff he's had the service department install on his mustang. I guess it just goes to show that sales will say anything that helps close the deal.
