I run the Ford Performance Tune. It does not void the warranty; the dealer only charged me 1 hour for the installation. My Ford dealer was also able to adjust for the 5.13 gears and 38-inch tires with the FP tune; my speedometer is within 1-2 miles of the GPS on my radar detector. I almost...
The worst mod I had to change was I purchased a Flowmaster Flow FX dual exhaust. After two weeks, it was so loud and sounded like a 10-year-old rental SXS with a blowout exhaust. Every time I went out off-roading, I was worried I was going to pancake it. Within 45 days, I replaced it with the...
I have the 2.7 as well and did not find any reasonable brake upgrades. I did install the PowerStop truck and tow drilled and slotted rotors with pads. After a proper break in there is a noticeable difference. I could not give you an exact percentage of improvement, but I was pleasantly...
I am very happy with my Fox 2.5 Elites. If you are adding larger tires, you have the ability to lift your front end 3-4 inches without using spacers. The ability to adjust your high and low-speed control easily is a nice feature as well. Shock Surplus has some very informative comparisons on...
I run the Bronc Buster bushing and stage 3 billet housing. I have broken a stock tie rod, but I have no doubt it was my fault. I have been very happy with my Icon tie rods, and there are many other good choices. I live in Arizona, where I constantly run over large rocks or climb something...
Ford Motor Company took care of me on a warranty issue; I would definitely reach out to them. The customer service was great and they went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied.
I think it's cool you are documenting your process, I appreciate good data. I went with Rousch intake, Mishimoto high mount intercooler with charge pipes, TS BOV, and Flowmaster exhaust. I have never timed it, but I feel like it woke up when all the pieces were put together. I went with a...

BTW, your rig looks great. Looks clean with headlights.
I have the oil in my 2.7 changed every 5K. Every twin turbo vehicle I have ever owned, I have always stuck to the 5K interval.
I do live in Arizona, which has several very hot months. I off-road my Bronco year-round and would rather be safe than sorry. I also run an oil cooler on my...
My tuner was installed at the dealer, and they removed my pedal commander. I am not a mechanic or expert, but the throttle mapping and shifting should have come with the Bronco from the factory. It wakes the vehicle up and makes driving a lot more fun. I did notice significant power gains...
