Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

[james9]

Does applying the FP tune wipe out any changes previously made with Forscan?

No

When doing this tune, Does it just replace one of the files in the PCM? Assuming the F188 file? If anyone that has the tune and Forscan could look that would be cool to know.

Nope

I just ordered this from my local Ford dealer in North Western Montana for my 2022 - the local Ford distribution center in Billings has 3 in stock - the dealer has an accessory / performance part department and they were unaware that this part had been released by Ford - I will have it installed in 4 days and report on the differences

you have a 22, you should really consider a real tune. MPT or goose. Theres no comparison to the FP tune.

I understand - this is completely stock and I off road this truck in the mountains so ultimate performance is less of an issue for me, adding 54ftlb torque and firmer/better shifting is what I am after - up here we have no freeways or interstate highways (I-90 and I-15 are at least 4 hours away but the speed limit is 80mph) and we have max of 91 octane fuel (Canada has 94 but its ~150 miles round trip to the nearest Chevron station), this dealer charges $75 to install and test the tune and guarantees it preserves the 10 year 175,000 mile Ford warranty, plus I have ~$240 in Ford Pass "credits" to offset the purchase - for "fun" I have a "Q" code 1969 428CJ Mustang GT Convertible with an all aluminum dual-carb 427(468) side-oiler

I ended up purchasing this tuner from Paul's automotive engineering per previous threads 1 that was the best price I found.

I received my unit quickly, however, the screen on the unit was glitching out. had to send it to Ford perf warranty for a replacement unit. In talking to one of the folks at paul engineering, he mentioned that a few other people had had the same issue with the screen. Could be nothing, I tend to be lucky like that, lol.

I received my new about a week later and installed it yesterday ....haven't put any miles on the truck yet.

I actually have an ongoing warranty situation with a front camera fault / some kinda IPMA gremlin... Truck has been over at Ford three separate times in three months, they finally replaced the IPMA module entirely and recalibrated but it's still throwing the front camera fault / front collision not avail code sometimes.

So it will be going back over there again soon... I would love to see them try to give me a hard time with any kind of warranty because of a ford tune, IPMA or otherwise.

I was under the assumption that the FP tune voided the warranty. Is that not the case.

Kinda. It voids the factory but then the FP warranty kicks in to match what the factory was. It’s still unknown, at least to me, if it impacts extended ones.
