sheerider11 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Posted April 25, 2016 Anyone ever tune up their stock ecoboost? I still have a few years left on warranty so I won't be doing one anytime soon just wondering.Now is the time to do it since it's under warranty. 99% of dealers will never know you had a tuner. Or they won't give a fuck. They only win on the work. It would have to be spectacular circumstances for them to think to send out your pcm to be broken down to compare the values to oem. Quote

Do you have to put the stock settings back before you take it in? Quote
sheerider11 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Posted April 25, 2016 Do you have to put the stock settings back before you take it in?You can. I'm getting the hand held to swap, since my truck is so new there's always updates. Some flash the pcm which could possibly delete the tune. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Quote
wayne_smith97 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 a tune on a boosted diesel is more noticeable than a gas engine truck. that's what i meant. This is also true Quote
sheerider11 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Posted April 27, 2016 Going to go on Monday afternoon for my appointment. I don't know what to expect. Right now my mileage varies a lot. During the week I'm at like 12-14. Weekends I can get up to 18-19. The week in drive to work a little over a mile away through 4 lights. So a lot of stop and go. The weekends when I can cruise my mileage goes up. I'm just hoping to have a noticeable gain when I step on the pedal honestly. I have only ran 93 in the truck as well Quote
sheerider11 Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Posted May 2, 2016 Well today I go to get the tune done on my truck. Kind of pumped Quote

sheerider11 Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Posted May 2, 2016 All done. Took about 20 minutes. Justin hopped in the truck and we drove around. He was going through the computer watching the values. He put on the 91+ Oct tune. Changed my shift points. Now the truck actually holds the gear and doesn't go to 6th at like 20 mph. I feel the truck actually shift. The truck moves now. Way quicker then with the super chips. I got the Autocal, this little fuck does a lot. I can data log and send him the file. Tell him what I want and it'll be free. He showed me the truck had some ping and it was probably not as good a gas as I thought. He said sunoco only. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Quote
kawa110 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Posted May 2, 2016 I'm looking into this^^^^^ Worth every penny? Quote
sheerider11 Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Posted May 2, 2016 I'm looking into this^^^^^ Worth every penny? So far. He wants me to put in sunoco 93 and send him a log.But the trick woke up alot. No delay on the pedal. He completely pulled thelag out. Quote

sheerider11 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Posted May 10, 2016 Well I'm impressed. I have a few things I want him to clean up. The 2-3 shift does something weird. And the time between engagement is long. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 My 07 needs a tune and I'm gonna pull the trigger. Quote
