    Help - Keep the 21 or get a 24/25.....Asking for your guys opinion/thoughts

    With a paid off 21 and really not any actual differences worth a solid amount of money....just wait for the gen 4. You did well, paid off the truck...keep relishing in zero truck payments. Until the 90K base gen 4 comes out lol

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Your use case is why it cracks me up when people talk about wanting the NA 5.0. That would be a literal garbage powertrain anything above 4K feet. Ive been to CO many many times in all sorts of NA vehicles and they are all horribly slow especially at 10K feet and beyond. The ecoboost was the...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    By the time 23 is cracked...ill be near 36K miles anyway lol And yes they have to prove the tune caused a powertrain failure, but dealers are really good at doing that.

    Top Speed on Raptor R

    I don’t have an R….just a regular ole stock 2023 3.5 on 35s not a 37PP truck. I was in sport mode, not sure if that changes the speed limiter, but I definitely hit a typical feeling limiter at 120. Surprised the hell outta me, and I glanced at my Waze on car play for a split second and saw a...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    This, is mostly likely the reason. Why let someone raise hell with an extra 16hp for a full 36K miles when you can sell it to people with 15-30K already on the clock. If this had zero effect on the warranty it wouldn’t be available to gen 3s at all. Although that doesn’t explain why it’s...

    Top Speed on Raptor R

    I hit a 120 limiter today...blazed right past 113 in my completely stock 2023 35. Confirmed by Waze in a Houston HOV lane lol...Sure surprised me, couldn't do that in my gen 2 before the tune. Ill do it again for the "pics or it didn't happen guys" ...lol

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    You know a show I’d watch. First one to crack a manufacture ECU in 1 hour, gets 10 million dollars. Cue the who wants to be a millionaire music….

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Sadly I can’t see a situation where they don’t require a VIN to purchase….along with phone number, email, name, address, mothers maiden name. The question is …how often does the FP database interact with your local dealers database.

    bigger tires

    Yeah Pirate was not Fing around….lol Seriously dude here is what I’d do….keep the 37s technically…rubbing or even the possibility of rubbing makes it feel like you went from a 80-130K truck to a 20K truck. I’d get some MT 37s with thick tread, they will look like 38s compared to KO2s...

    Raptor vs. Culvert

    Pics of the truck with the bumper? I recently had a similar encounter, less damage, but gotta do something.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Yeah unless you trade trucks in every 3/36 or don't care about the powertrain warranty I would also do it on the down low. I also saw on a RR video that the owner of the truck once the dealer did it had to register with Ford performance. It could be just ordering the tuner kinda does this...

    Cross shopping Ram Rho

    I actually think overall the RHO will perform a little better offroad than the TRX. It'll be a little lighter on the front end. The RHO will be plenty quick, seen some videos of the same engine in the regular RAM run 4.5 to 60 just fooling around on the street.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Yeah its pretty clear in the documents. Any and all powertrain warranties past the 3/36 could be denied. If you blow the motor, trans, turbos, axles, diffs, driveshafts, TC, or any seals with rotating parts I wouldn't assume the dealer will handle it. If you've got an oil pan leak, bad...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Saw a Ranger Raptor review on the tune....said the dealer charged 250 bucks. $1075 is getting up there.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    I mean the 24s aren't faster, so that would make said tune completely useless!! lol Maybe the red stripe on the steering wheel is the key, if we're going down the speculation road. :hidesbehindsofa:

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    So this might be an odd very noob question that might be best to not answer in public...but what are the basics of cracking an ECU? Its not like just trying common passwords, or knowing a guy on the inside with said password. I see in my mind a NSA level computer matrix hacking job...lol I...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Well that is certainly true. Every single person on here with a fancy intake or exhaust that adds 3-4 HP can't do much judging lol

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Sorta except it'll likely be 1000 bucks installed by a dealer, and I wouldn't call it a minimal impact on your warranty. You do lose that extra 2 years and 24K miles of powertrain warranty. You'll also have to have it installed by a dealer or certified mechanic to even maintain the 3year 36K...
