Ford's Performance ProCal Tune for the 2.3L (Experience and thoughts??)

[FloridaBurgBronco]

I’m curious to know what the manual transmission issues were that needed to be fixed. Thanks

They needed to fix the 5th and 6th gear synchos I believe. The repair went from taking 1 week to 3 + because they needed to crack the case open and allegedly there is a special tool to do so and they had to order it. The remaining time I had it, it was fine and I still miss shifting gears, but mine ended up being junk and I had to Lemon Law it. Hopefully your experience with the Bronco and Ford is better than mine.

The tune was worth it. The rev matching, extra power, and better mileage were all good. 7MT Badlands 2 door here.

I towed my enclosed motorcycle trailer ~2200 mi on a summer trackday/motorcycle tour in the PNW immediately after installing the tune, and it was notably better than the first time towing without the tune. Definitely more power, 1-2 mpg better, and the rev-matching was great, especially when needing to catch a downshift to ascend a steep grade. Power seems to hit a little earlier also.

My Dad has it on his Wildtrak with the 2.7 as well. I wouldn't say the power boost was as notable as it was with my 2.3L, but his auto transmission shifting was/is vastly smoother with it.
