Hey, @JPOKeefe! Will PM, but you may find that all you need is 1 more follow-up "just checking in on status of this request", but (for the sake of anyone just now visiting)...
Initially (for 7MT+FP Pro-Cal purchasers)...
1. Email Ford Warranty. [[email protected] ]
2.a. State that the primary...
Quick tip: Especially if buying new/CPO, why stick to the dealers by you? Dealers by me think the same with most vehicle makes/models. Iâve purchased out last 5 vehicles from out of state dealers and had nothing but reasonable experiences (some great, some a minor pain). The few with minor...
Just to close the loop: Final arrangement with Ford (for our case) was to provide a full refund for the purchase price of the Pro-Cal+Tune. We ate the install price at the dealer but get to keep the tune/device. Can confirm that the refund and initial back and forth took some time but patience...
Anyone else receive an update from Ford today? Unfortunately rev-matching won't be coming back from the looks of it. With that said, kudos to them (especially the manager who's been dealing with all of us): it took a little while, but it looks like they'll be making it right on our end.
From FP on our chain: "Your issue is still being addressed with management. More information to follow when available."
Anybody new reaching out to FP about this lately? I'm wondering if--perhaps--they were leaning toward technical solution when the first round of outreach came but cooled their...
Nice, Huey! FWIW: This is actually a huge improvement in Ford's response over the course of just a week. Our original outreach had no indication that any solution was being considered. These more recent responses would appear to be making headway.
I think the key with this is going to be...
a...
:fistbump: @Bmadda for the win! Donât forget: you do actually need a solution on this as well. Right now youâre in a position where either (a) you canât update your device as directed by FordPerformance orâpossiblyâperform certain functions for which the device was intended OR (b) you lose the...
That would not be fun. Definitely reach out to them. The more concern they see from the community (especially past buyers), the better!
Nice, @huey !
Last I got was "I will bring your situation to management to see if there is something we can do to facilitate your request" last Friday (1...
Fingers crossed! For us, responses from Ford were coming in pretty quickly initially, but theyâre slowing down quite a bit in the âlet me talk to managementâ phase (which we can all hope is a good sign).
Car gods be willing, the more people that reach out with questions and/or requests, the...
Iâm not super-sharp with these things, but arenât we forgetting gearing which relates engine speed to vehicle speed? For example: does it matter if your power band is 2000-4000 rpm OR 7000-9000 rpm as long as you are geared to take advantage of it?
Example: We have a straight six diesel sedan...
Update: Ford Performance Calibration purchased and installed by dealer on 10/10/24 at 4,739 miles! Also added the Ford Performance âGOATâ hood vinyl FP Hood struts and FP trailer hitch cover. Consider this vehicle officially a âFord Performance 7MT Basesquatchâ!
Iâm guessing that will be the...
FWIW: the Falken's (specifically the AT3W's and AT3Wa's, a whole different animal built for the G-wagon when purchased in Merc-spec) are hugely popular in the Porsche Cayenne overlanding community. Not sure that many have run comparisons against the 4's (being as new as they are), but I look...
Not going to threadjack, but I have to respectfully disagree with you on this one. I purchased the tune 90% for rev-matching (directly from Ford). Would have never paid a dollar for an engine-only tune on this vehicle andâeven if I wanted oneâI certainly wouldnât have spent more than $250-$350...
Great knowledge, @HighVelocity ! I had no idea that this âcalibrationâ wasnât an in-house Ford product.
This sounds like the sort of thing that (if successful) maybe shouldnât be reposted on a public forum for the sake of the parties at-risk in-support, but definitely let us know if we should...
Supposedly the features were pulled in early July...maybe you lucked out by the day?
@lethaljake: Can you/Lethal provide any specifics as to what functions (calibration update?, FDU replacement?, Steering Rack Replacement?) may/will cause existing MT Owners' tunes to "update" and lose...
3-cheers for saber rattling. The contact information provided to me by Ford Performance for those who have already purchased the Tune was [email protected] .
For anyone who hasn't yet purchased the tune, I would suggest reaching out to Ford Performance with "questions" and documenting that the...
Definitely rooting you on, @a_ponce! If you find you need a â22 7MT Basesquatch with a post-August Ford Performance Calibration without rev match :facepalm: just say the word.
I hear you, @Brian_B. I definitely wouldnât update the Procal in your shoes, but that alone is lost functionality. So now youâre stuck with a unit that EITHER canât be updated or used to change your drive units, steering rack, etc, OR loses advertised functionality of A-S/S control and...
