I recently got this kit and had it installed. The tuner was updated mid Feb before it was installed, and I do have the trans temp option in mine and I use it while towing. You should connect the tuner to your computer that has ProCal 4 installed and check for updates.
That's cool. Thanks for the update. Hope others read your comment. Sadly I traded my Ranger in on a 1 ton to tow my toy hauler. Had to do it with the high cost of diesel trucks right now. Sucks, the Ranger was of my funnest vehicles I've owed.
PSA regarding this performance tune from Ford. It adversely affects your towing capabilities and there is an inpending update to allow it to function with the 2021 models. Be aware of what you purchasing and installing.
@@JohnDB252 Thanks for the update. Do you have it and if so how do you like it? I've been using 91 octane since I got it and when I put the truck in sport mode it really goes. Just wondering how much better it would perform with the performance tune.
I have a 22 model and there's hardly any information out there. Kelly doesn't have any resale info, My insurance company couldn't even find the thing... I dont imagine anything has really changed between 21 and 22? I would like to get one of these though unless someone could convince me there's a better option that retains warranty.
I suspect the CHT temp is the charge air temp. This is the temp of the intake air coming out of the intercooler going into the throttle body. This is far more important than the coolant temp. As these temps go up, the computer has to pull ignition timing which lowers power. An aftermarket IC will help prevent this.
@@ronniebray6143 I went through a Ford dealer, I believe it was up in New York somewhere. They had the best deal on them. I will try to find what dealer it was and let you know.
Thanks for the video. I recently bought a 2022 Ranger with Ford Performance Parts. One of the items was the Tuner. And I had it installed today. I don't know what the retail is on tuner. But I don't think it's worth have it on. I'm thinking of taking it back off.
You can always get someone else's tunes, which will make more power. If you ever take it back for dealer work change back to the ford tunes. All ford can see is the truck was tuned, can't tell who's tunes or what tune was on it. I was happy with the ford tunes, but I'm power hungry, so I would have already changed tunes if I still had the little Ranger. Had to sell it to buy a new 1 ton truck. A real shame for sure!
Does this tune really create that much of a difference? I know it says it adds 45 hp, which is a lot, but does it feel THAT much faster? Is it even worth it power wise?
Just seen this video I know it was made over a year ago but was wondering if you noticed a difference in profromance after installed ford says you gain 45hp amd 65 torque and was wondering if it was even worth it.
Yes there is a difference, shifting wise as well. The real difference is noticed when and if you go back to stock. But if you're not worried about warranty or your warranty is expired then in that case I think there's better Tunes out there and I wouldn't waste the money with the Ford one.
I just ordered this for my 2022. Unfortunately I have to have Ford install it since I don't have access to a laptop or Internet currently. Can the software be downloaded more than once? I haven't looked in to that aspect of it yet.
Was, just using the stock unit. If I would have kept the truck I would have went with a complete CAI from mishimoto, I think that's the name of the company. They're pretty well-known.
To me it was, but I'm a power junky, any good little jump in power is a win for me. If I would have been out of warranty, I would have went with a different tuner and tunes, which would have give me even more power.
Most don't Mount theirs. It's something you pretty much plug in make the settings and then unplug it. There are some parameters you could watch but it's not really set up like an edge insight that you see in a lot of diesel trucks. If you go with an aftermarket tuner of some sort they will be more set up like the diesel side of things.
No, if bought from a Ford dealer. Just check with your local Ford dealer, some are pretty basic dealers and don't deal with Ford performance. Or know anything about it, but will perform warranty work as warranty work issues is through Ford not the dealer.
With modified boosted gas engines you typically want to monitor knock and temp readings as well as a/f ratio to get an idea if you're in the danger zone. Especially when pushing the boost, the more you push it the more you need to be aware of heat soak and when to chill on the go pedal. I would hope ford's performance tune would be safe on an otherwise stock vehicle though. 🙏
I just installed and noticed it doesn't turn off with the vehicle. Do you unplug or am I missing something? Also my gauges are flashing not sure if anyone knows what that means
I'm using a cold air roush intake afe magna scoop jtl catch can magna flow street series exhaust system I'm getting failures and codes popping up before i even installed these products then ran a diagnostic installation of my aftermarket stuff and now the truck won't monitor anything and I keep getting a plug in to use searching searching
Agreed, better tunes out there, but this one keeps the warranty. Get both then your covered even though you may use the other tunes. Ford will no you have a tune, but won't know what tunes you are running.
How’s your gas mpg? Swear my ranger with 33’s on gets 13 mpg around town but it feels I get a mile per gallon anyone else suspecting really low gas mpg?
I do very little city driving, 20 to maybe sometimes 40% city. Got 21 to 22 mpg hand calculated every tank unless I towed something. But my last set of tires I was running where only 32's and 4ply, so they were light. Wheel and tire weighed around 67lbs total.
I run 91 which is required for this performance tune from Ford. If you go with custom Tunes from somebody else you could get tunes for lower octane if you wanted.
A lot of people are saying that with this tune it takes a while to see the difference, is it immediately noticeable or does it take a while for the computer to get adjusted or anything?
if you're going to reprogramming dinotune that truck and you don't even know that c h t stands for cylinder head temperature I wouldn't be playing with none of the other buttons
CHT temp is cylinder head temp. I think that programmer is kinda bad sadly. I was gonna go with it but the other aftermarket options are far better. the DiabloSport Trinity T2 EX is a really good one and shows all kinds of information.
I just got this installed today, and decided to go driving to notice the results, which I had really high hopes for, but it turns out…NOTHING. I felt NO difference at all. This was a complete waste of time and $665.. I’m super disappointed about this. I really thought I would feel a HUGE difference since it’s an “increase of 45 hp” but I felt absolutely nothing.
I understand your frustration on the monitoring but if you think about it, it’s a distraction for drivers and if you get an increase of HP that’s a no no while trying to have fun 😅
I guess I could kind of see that, but there's lots of other vehicles, like my 17 Ram being one of them, that have awesome monitoring. Wasn't a distraction on it.
So the livernois tune comes with a similar device? Does that mean you can flash between tunes? Someone mentioned you could get a 3 tune setup one for 93, one for 87 and one for towing? I'm definately curious! I would rather have an 87 tune with the current fuel prices, but If you can flash between them that sounds like the one.
@@davidgrasso8765 that's probably the route I'll go, I live in oakland county MI and I'm pretty sure they are based here locally. I'm gonna stop by there one of these days
No it's cylinder head temp and BP is your boost pressure. And this video is terrible. Rear your instructions because I'm not going to show you how to install it. Just going to bs the whole video lol

Is this the one that is supposed to be installed be a Ford dealer/ Sae authorized shop to keep the Ford warranty? Also was it 825$?
Yes.
Yes sir I’m adding mine on Thursday but I’m having them install it for warranty
There's an idash gauge that you can monitor whatever you want.

You cAn definitely definitely feel it
Does this tune really create that much of a difference? I know it says it adds 45 hp, which is a lot, but does it feel THAT much faster? Is it even worth it power wise?
It's around a 20% increase in HP.
Too me it is, it also changes shift patterns a bit.
Yes it does it responds faster
can i just use whatever ford procal 4? or i need to use the one optimized for the ranger that bring the filter because they are all out of stock

@@curtisbull1583 thanks it was a toss up for me between this and the roush tune both let me keep my warranty.
Does the tune make the truck sound any different at all?
No, not that I could tell.
I just ordered this for my 2022. Unfortunately I have to have Ford install it since I don't have access to a laptop or Internet currently. Can the software be downloaded more than once? I haven't looked in to that aspect of it yet.
Finally can be use with the 2021 Ranger. Is it still skipping 2nd gear? And also is it make the little slipp on 3rd gear?
My Ranger Tremor is a 2021. So it will work.
Don't seem to skip 2nd for me, and no slipping in any gear.
@@curtisbull1583 Thanks
Mine is stock an it still skips 2nd gear I assume it's supposed to skip unless your towing something heavy
is it possible to use this in a 2017 ford escape? longshot but im wondering
It would need to be vehicle pacific. But don't think ford has tuning for escapes. But the aftermarket world would.
Hey, you mentioned you’re not using the provide K&N air filter with the tune. Are you just using the stock unit or recommend a different reusable?
Was, just using the stock unit. If I would have kept the truck I would have went with a complete CAI from mishimoto, I think that's the name of the company. They're pretty well-known.
Do you need it to be plugged in after loading the tune while you drive?
No
So it came with 1 tune do I need Forscan or can I just hookup and program? Thanks.
Just comes with one tune, from Ford performance. Don't need foreman for this.
Was this worth it? I'm thinking about getting one.
To me it was, but I'm a power junky, any good little jump in power is a win for me.
If I would have been out of warranty, I would have went with a different tuner and tunes, which would have give me even more power.
Does it come with a windshield thing that sticks to the windshield, or how do you mount it?
Most don't Mount theirs. It's something you pretty much plug in make the settings and then unplug it.

Maybe you shouldn’t modify a brand new mall crawler lol fors performance dosent belong on anything that’s not a Mustang or gt
That’s why the dealership should install all this for warranty purposes

Does not need to stay plugged in, plug it in, make your changes and unplug it.
Do u have to run 91 fuel or can u run 87/89
I run 91 which is required for this performance tune from Ford. If you go with custom Tunes from somebody else you could get tunes for lower octane if you wanted.
Great question but yes he’s very right it says it before purchase in the details
Since this motor is high compression. You should use 91 anyways. Even without a tune. You can lose 15-20% power running 87
The guy is wrong
Fuel has to be premium to use this performance
A lot of people are saying that with this tune it takes a while to see the difference, is it immediately noticeable or does it take a while for the computer to get adjusted or anything?
I never heard that, the changes I noticed right away.
@@curtisbull1583 ok good yea I don’t see why it would take a while
I’d love to do that when I get my ranger, but my phone is the only computer I have. Hopefully Ford will do it for me.
Oh ya. A dealer is the one that supposed to do it. Some dealers don't deal with Ford performance stuff so you might have to use another one.
