Firmware updates update the flash tool. These updates happen rather routinely. That doesn't mean the calibration has changed.

Because the tune is C.A.R.B. certified and the amount of money involved to re-certify any changes to the tune, I would say the tunes do not get updated, except for some extraordinary circumstance.

Instead of 709,000 units, your population of potentially defective parts is something like 8.5 million intake valves. It only takes one valve to fail to destroy the engine.

No, it's been too hot for me do anything, but I think I'm going to install the RC 1" spacer instead of the spring spacer. I'm not likely to do anything until September, unless the next ice age commences before then.

Makes two of us. Has your dealer performed an update on the tuner?

It's not bad in stock trim, but a tune really unleashes the torque these twin turbo engines are capable of producing. I think the turbos are too small to make any big difference in top end power. I test drove mine for a day, and if transport mode was still active, I never noticed any...

I have had no issues with my Bronco, but my 2021 Shelby is having all sorts of problems. You might see if there is a Sync update and upgrade to it. Also perform a master sync reset. The procedure is in the owner's manual. If neither work and you still have a warranty, make it the dealer's...

Are you saying the Goodyear M/T has a harsh ride? If you are, try riding in a Bronco with Hoss 3.0. It's not the tires. Like mentioned, tire pressure could help. Try 35 psi all around. I'm still running 41 psi and with the Hoss 3.0, it's a very smooth, comfortable ride.

Did you notify Ford of this mishap, and if so, were they interested in trying to determine what happened?

Shit happens! The fact anyone is breaking these is testament to a weak link. Start loosening the torque limits on these engines with tuners and what not, and you may see more instances of breakage. I've seen guys break more shit when they didn't know what they were doing, than seasoned...

I'm running both the Procal and JB4 on my 2023 2.7. Highest boost I'm seeing on the factory gauge is just under 15 psi on map 2. I've been running boost for about 30 years and while you may be able to run boost over 18 psi on pump gas, you're fighting the octane and gutting the ignition timing...

I'm not familiar with your exhaust system, but if you have room to add a bigger muffler there are lot of options from a universal prospective and might cost you $100 or so. I ran a 3" MBRP cat back on my F-150 and I had both the largest straight through oval Magnaflow made plus a resonator. It...

The only graph I've seen is the one published on Ford Performance's website and it shows the stock horsepower at ~330 hp. That's Ford published horsepower for 93 octane, and would be a 50 hp pickup from the advertised horsepower rating on 87 octane. I don't think you're going to see the...

The turbo has to spool up before it can make any power, which is hard to do from 600 rpm. You might try power braking and seeing if that does anything for you.

I hope to do my SPD install this week. I don't really want to cut the factory pipes out of there. Did you try to get them out intact first?

I managed to blow it off all last week, and I'm hoping I don't repeat that again this week. I'm retired, so I really don't have an excuse except being old.

Make sure your Bronco is not in Eco mode. It's not going to completely get rid of it, but when you turn it off from the dash, it will stay off the next time you drive it. I think Eco mode might keep it active. I have not tested that theory because I'm not an Eco kind of guy. On edit. I just...

I installed the Ford Performance tune last week. I have not re-gapped my plugs and I'm not experiencing any plug blow out. I did not have an ASE mechanic install it, because I think it's ridiculous that someone with a credential can do this simple install better than anyone else. There are no...

From what I have read, Borla's high climber Touring is the quietest. I have it under my Bronco and I like it. However, I too am about to install SPD's downpipe with cats, but I'm thinking it might increase the noise output. I'm hoping not. If it does, I have spotted a 2.75" muffler that...

Did this tune get rid of the auto stop/start feature on my '23 Wildtrak? It stayed off when I started it this morning. Have I been driving all week and just not noticing? I suppose I have. I think my attention is only drawn to it when the engine dies.
