5Star Tuner questions

[beemerman]

I would say transmission yes. As far as engine mine ran good as soon as I put in the tune. But that is mine others may be different. Jack

The transmission is too smart for its own good.. Even with new tune being programmed, it is better, but lazy.. It really does take 4-5 drive cycles (100 miles) till it gets all the weird shifts (mistimed, slow, harsh, etc) worked out.

Before blaming 5star, blame Ford for their adaptive transmission crap (pssst Ford, IT DOES NOT BELONG IN A PERFORMANCE VEHICLE!)

Just give the tune time to settle in before passing judgement, and swapping tunes.

I have had no reason to run anything above 87 in my truck.. So, I can not tell you the difference between tunes. (besides 87 econ, stock, preformance)

Wow what a coincidence I just now installed my x3 from Mike and took for short drive down road and woke neighbors. What a difference! ! I come back and see this thread. I guess now my question is what is the best way to drive truck to set the adaptive programming so it will run good when want it to but drive good daily and not drink gas

Yea I honestly can't see a reason to run 93 either, I was just wondering. The transmission thing is weird. I can't wait till all those stupid misshifts and hard shifts are gone or at least better.

It is a slow learner (which is a good thing) putting around town it gets a little lazy, but it never unlearns the tune.. If that makes sense.. Good example when my wife putts around all weekend in my truck, I can tell a difference, monday morning. By Monday afternoon, tuesday morning it is all good.. That is driving 20 miles each way to work..

Exactly. Good way to explain it.

Oh so it is always learning not just the first few days "100 miles"?

Yes, some fuel ecomony bovine scatology that Ford uses that does not belong on the Raptor. The good thing after first 100 miles the harshness and misshifts are gone.

Just when you try to be easy on the throttle (save gas) the transmission assumes you always want to drive like that.
