Most sincere apologies. We literally sold out of these the day we launched, got more ready to ship, then the email blast went out, and we sold out again. It took us 48 hours, but we were able to get it sorted on our end. We have plenty in stock, so should be good to go for the rest of the month!
Disclaimer: I do work for Ford. I created this account/user profile to connect with a user having issues. This is NOT an official Ford profile, and is not constantly monitored. But I am disclosing that I am a Ford employee, but also a Bronco owner.
I set up the Ford Racing account without the voucher. I didn't register the ProCal tool beforehand. I gave the dealer the unopened Procal tool box. The voucher was inside the ProCal tool box.
Currently 49 state legal. CARB E.O. process is underway. Keep an eye on the accessories site for the update when it is 50 state compliant for 25MY/26MY.
The "tool" is the hardware, or the little box and plug. The "voucher" is the code that allows you to download the software/tune off of the Ford servers to upload to your Bronco's computer through the OBDII port. Together they are the "kit".
Good to know and thanks for clarifying that.
Procal is demanding a higher load target than the stock calibration, the ECU is going to add advance and boost to hit said load target. Your knock sensor is there to correct for an occasional oopsie not be driven into a -9 degree timing retardation because you don't want to run 91 in the calibration designed for 91.
Not sure this is accurate. The ECU can definitely handle pulling timing far longer than the occasional oopsie. Knock sensor is an integral part of control strategy for GTDi engines. If this was an actual concern, the ProCal page wouldn't say "premium fuel required for maximum performance."
unless someone has the bin file for the procal calibration and can prove that whether the KOM directly affects the demanded load and timing values i’d say you’re playing with fire.
So I will preface all of this with a disclaimer: *I work for Ford, but in Marketing, I am not an engineer. Any statement made here is my own, and I am not an official Ford spokesperson in any way shape or form. None of these statements imply any warranties, promises, or contracts official, written, spoken, or otherwise.
Appreciate the perspective, but I do not believe you should be scared of running 87 octane even on an engine with the Ford Performance Calibration. This is an OEM-warrantied tune. The ECU will be able to handle 87 octane. Agreed that you've likely wasted money on the tune if you're running 87 octane all the time. You paid for the power, you should fuel it so that you get that power.
Register the ProCal device using YOUR email and password before you give it to the tech to do the update...otherwise if you let your dealership tech do everything on the setup of the tuner...you won't be able to update your ProCal tuner box later, since it will be in the dealer techs name...ask me how I know.
So I ordered ProCal on Tuesday from Ford Performance with dealer pick up and install. I also have my ford performance website account too. I see the "Pro Cal" drop down menu and click that and it asks for a validation code. I am guessing you get that when the Pro Cal unit arrives to download the ProCal tune on and upload onto the Braptor. So when I go to the dealer for install I need to give them my Ford Performance website log in so they can enter the validation code, correct? 3 local dealers have never heard of this so I and they am really confused.
