Ford Performance Tune
- Thread starter ZookaRoo
- Start date
I'm having a similar issue I think. I plugged in the tuner to Pro Cal 4 in Windows and it did a Pro Cal software update, then "transferred" that to the tuner. Now when I hit Update in Pro Cal, nothing happens. It no longer shows my VIN and tunes and doesn't ask me to login anymore with voucher ID. I'm scared to plug it back into my ST. I called FP and the guy was a douche and told me if I plug it back in I will brick my ST. Has anyone had similar issues? Thanks
I saw that there were updates to the ProCal device, so I thought it would be best to revert to the stock tune before updating the device just in case. Nothing seemed to be lost when I updated the device and then reinstalled the tune. I know this is after the fact instructions, but may help others in the future. Good luck.

I'll be honest, I've never noticed any skip shifting. Maybeeeeee 6+ gear but at that point I'm very low RPM and would have a hard time telling it's skipping gears. Certainly the power gears ~1-5 there is no skipping at all.
ZFG sounds great but then I read the stories of warranty work being denied and I don't have the time to deal with that stuff anymore. Yes FP tune is "aftermarket" but at the same time you def have more brownie points with a ford tune vs ZFG or whoever if SHTF. I'll take my chances with the FP personally.

My explorer has an extended warranty on it and I'm looking to buy the ford performance tune, I called my ford dealer just to see what they would charge considering I don't want to void the warranty. They said that it was going to be a 2 hr install and it would be $200. Now I called a local shop that deals with tuning, and they said that they can do it but there not ASE/ red seal certified and I'm not trying to void my extended warranty. But my question is how does the ford dealer know if it's been installed by an ASE/red seal certified technician.
Thats what I thought but I called the dealer where I bought my vehicle from and talked to someone that deals with the company for the extended warranties and he told me that as long as it's installed by a ford dealer it still would be covered. Which is odd considering it says the warranty is 3/36 for the tune. I called him again today to double check and he said he would talk to the manager in the service department and call me back with a more definitive answer.
