Ford Performance Tune
- Thread starter ZookaRoo
- Start date
True but look at the dates. It still includes 2020 st from Oct 2018 to sept 2020. Again, it doesn’t make any sense because all 2020s have 4 bolts. Anyway, i guess it doesn’t matter.
I’m still waiting for a damn dealer to confirm the ability to install before buying! Want to get in on this lethal performance deal.

I’m pleased with my investment. I probably have about 5 miles driving in “Normal“ mode in a year of ownership. So, I can’t comment on that. But in my normal, Sport, I feel more throttle response and quicker acceleration from a dig and on a roll. Also smoother shifts. I have both custom dyno tunes and canned tunes. Know what you’re buying and go into it with the appropriate expectations and you will usually be happy. Or at least satisfied.

Sad to say I think I’m about give up on getting this tune. I’ve contacted numerous dealers and the only one that does this sort of thing, wants $300!
“the programming cost will be around 300.00. Tech said that you will need to have the device with the tunes when you bring the vehicle in.”
I’m clarifying but like so you want me to update the tuner, load the tune on the tuner, and then just give you the tuner so you can spend 15 min flashing the tune or whatever and collect $300??
Just so frustrated at this point. When I search ASE techs there is only one located inner city Baltimore. Not going there.

Don‘t bother using the ASE search for technicians, think it is broken. Almost every mechanic shop including gas station ones (especially if they are an MD inspection station) have a “qualified” technician. Just driving down the road I see gas stations with the ASE certification logo plastered outside. Very easy to find one, then just talk to the shop manager and tell them you have an easy 10 minute job worth of work which is really only 2 minutes of labor for a receipt to maintain Ford’s warranty criteria.
Best bet is to do what you say and load the tune on the device and pay for the “technical experience“ of pressing a button. It’s Fords requirements for maintaining the warranty.

A quick serarch brought one up in Bel Air . http://cars-incorporated.com/diagnostics.html
Thanks guys. Maybe I didn’t search well enough or I don’t know. I’ll be honest I’ve been meaning to reach out to a shop I take my car to when I don’t use the dealer but I’m just tired of discussing it with every shop and then just get the run around. I guess I was hoping for a dealer like everyone else seemed to be doing but I will try the shop above and I actually found another one that I already submitted in inquiry for. Cross fingers!

I pretty much found myself in the same situation. I got tired of people not getting back to me. Saying they’d look into it and let me know. So, I just did it myself. I’ll fight the warranty beast if it ever rears it’s head. I’ll have a better chance doing that with a FP tune then another aftermarket tune. Especially since it doesn’t push things as far. And it certainly does make a difference.

I just have one critical observation.... Honestly, what is your major malfunction?? You have a "kumbaya" nature that suggests any/all opinions are equal. Drop it already, that soyboy attitude got old decades ago. No one is interested in hearing your incessant whining that tears down the relevancy of truth. Can you get your act together already?

I agree with you for the most part, but I will never fail in directly responding to lies and misinformation. I'm all about data, and if someone refutes concrete information then I will attempt to correct their errors, failing that, I will block them. I don't have time to waste on people who choose to live their lives with blinders on.
Sadly, it's apparent far too many people today reject truth and reality in lieu of emotional knee jerk responses. Even that Cruising dude has gone full tilt bonkers. Sad ...

Unlike you, there are no examples of me acting like that. However there are countless posts of yours that show you have the emotional state of a 12 year old but hey, thanks for more insults!
I see it took you a few days to come up with that witty post
