Roush Tune Question....

[Wobblenuts]

Alright, I know I know.....Goosetuned. I get it. That name is all over the place. With that out of the way, here is what I am trying to figure out...

I recently bought a 2020 Roush Raptor, that also came with the Stage 2 "power pack" or whatever they call it. So intake, axle back, and a tune. The tune is what brings me here today. I bought an access tuner from Cobb which arrived yesterday. Prior to yesterday I was unaware that the truck had a Roush tune on it, so of course when I tried to load the Cobb stuff it threw a fit and told me no. The power of the truck feels fine, but I HATE the transmission. I can't find solid info on if the Roush tune helps that or not, its been mixed information.

So, my question is do I just keep the Roush tune on there and return the access port? Do I take it back to Ford and tell them to flash it back to stock so I can load the Cobb stuff? Is it really worth me throwing more money at? If I keep the Cobb tuner, eventually I would hit up Goosetuned for a custom tune. I only ordered through Cobb because it was on sale and I was able to get a military discount on top of it.

Okthanksbye

Hi there....I just WENT through this. So hopefully my experience will save you time, money and some headaches.
I too had the Roush tune on my 2019, originally performed by my local Roush Ford dealership. The tune was solid and never had an issue with the truck running, with over 25K miles.
That all well and good until you want to add further modifications. I decided to upgrade my turbos, injectors, fuel pump, downpipes, turbo intake pipes, etc. And I wanted a true dyno tune.
My tuner and shop highly recommended I get the truck reflashed to stock prior to arrival. I did that, again, at my local Ford dealership. $189. Done, no issues.
Next, after my truck was done with the install of the new turbos, etc., they were going to tune it via Cobb Accessport. They could not get the base tune to load. They got on the phone with Roush, after extensive support calls, they were able to load a base tune but could not access the TCM. So off to their local Ford dealer to get the TCM reflashed - after Roush telling me that their tune does not load anything into the TCM, just the ECM. That proved incorrect. My tuner shop got the Raptor back after another reflash, which was successful, yep, another $189. Upon return, the TCM was still locked out. Again, after several calls, they finally had to remove the TCM and send it into Cobb for them to unlock it and basically wipe it clean. Once returned from Cobb, the TCM was good to go and the tune was loaded successfully.

So, the Roush tune is a good tune, that comes with a warranty, so long as you don't add any further mods. In your case, I would recommend sending both the TCM and ECM directly to Cobb and have them wipe it clean. That's going to be your best bet, in my opinion.

Good luck and I hoped this helped.

@GooseTuned can send you just a transmission tune, I believe. Winfield, can you confirm?
