The Explorer ST is a great platform, but let's talk about its black tie wearing cousin, the Lincoln Aviator. It gains all of the same power, but has some annoying quirks that only the Lincoln version has. Namely, the useless factory "manual" mode. In stock form, it exits this mode almost immediately after entering it, and worse yet, still downshifts when you go wide open throttle. Well, we fix that, making it hold manual gear selections like it should! Add into that, well over 100hp of extra power, and it's easy to see why people love to upgrade these!
Doing gods work especially with the manual shifting! I work at ford and we have a corsair with the paddles and they were absolutely useless. Ford paddles are good so i don’t understand why lincoln was like that. But it doesnt matter its a lincoln and these guys make cars for luxury non performance markets. But if Lincoln wants to beat audi, bmw, merc, then they NEED performance!
We are happy to help get them to where they should be!
This guy has it! I admire his feedback and opinions and he strives to fix some kinks! If I get an Aviator / ST explorer ima go to him 💁🏽♂️
Holy crap! I’m getting this for my 2020 Aviator! 😎👍🏽
Love it! I just got the 23 ST and want the tune but am nervous to do it myself. So needless to say I'll be in to have you install it seeing how I only live like 15 minutes away 😂
Sounds great!
ok, I'm very intrigued. I own a 2020 Aviator Reserve and was impressed with the power until last week when a Porsche Cayenne gave me a good spanking. So, is this unit is plug and play for approx 100 HP gains?
Dang, this is before any hardware mods like the exhaust and intake filter?!
Yep I would imagine so. And I don't even think this is an E93 mod either. Just a straight slap on tune. No intake, no exhaust overhaul, and no E93 mod.
Just got a 2023 Aviator Black Label no EV. What did the tune do to boost factory vs tune? I assumed this was done after the 50,000 mile warranty period? Was this just on 91+ pump gas? How much timing is added vs factory? How did it change the mpg compared to factory when you’re not living in the throttle. Thanks
For real tho. We need answers lol
Bruh fr fr needs details
I too have a 2023 Black label with under 5000 miles on it . I would love for someone at Livernoise to answer your questions? Because 45000+ miles left on my warranty is a hard pill to swallow .
@@Skipp160Just picked up a 2021 Aviator Black Label (happy to be in the club now), barely over 40K miles on it now, 2 years left on this warranty. Really interested to see if someone actually reaches out here. Although I doubt this would be the place to get answers sadly.
Hot damn I love the idea of the Lincoln. Definitely a sleeper compared to the ST. I'll be taking delivery of my 2022 f150 with a 5.0 very shortly. With gas prices up and us doing a lot of towing for my lawncare business and going from s/east Michigan way up north camping towing a travel trailer I'm looking to get some better towing performance and possible better fuel milage. 85 tune? But I've been told you burn 85 faster. Trying to keep away from any 93 tunes with how expensive gas is currently. What would be a decent recommendation, tossing around the idea of exhaust but while towing the stock 5.0 exhaust drones enough in the cab on steeper grades at highway speed.
Most of our customers report back some small improvements in economy, even when using e85. We will be offering an exhaust for these as well
This doesn’t affect the warranty does it?
Not confirmed, but I imagine it would if engine issues were to arise from that particular tune and you took it in to have service done on the engine at the Lincoln dealer under warranty. It might be voided because you tampered with the engine. So at least in my case I'll have to wait 2 years until my warranty runs out.
That’s insane how much drivetrain loss, I was expecting somewhere in the 300s at the wheels and also the horsepower gain after the tune was impressive
These definitely seem to either lose a ton of power, or never make what they're supposed to make. We're glad there's a ton of potential left there though!
@@LivernoisMotorsports Is is there a way to get this 500 HP tune but without the sequential shifting transmission setup and the paddle shifter mod?
@@ironman98 You would simply request to not receive the manual shifting capabilities. Although the change only appears when using manual mode, but if that is what you'd like, we can absolutely tailor it for you.
Will my MPG stay the same?
That’s a great question following. Also would this void the warranty
You previously stated the PHEV model most likely wouldn’t be supported. What if I wasn’t looking for the increase in hp but only interested in the Gear skip fix and the Paddle Shifter fix? Would those 2 items work with the PHEV model?
Probably too late to help you now but the PHEV uses a 10R80MHT instead of the 10R60 in the standard Aviator and the Explorer ST/Platinum models. The 10R60 and standard 10R80 are very similar to each other as is the 10R80MHT but the latter has an E-motor attached to it as well as supporting logic in the controller. I have no idea if Livernois is able to tweak it or not but it'll be more complicated to do so if possible.
Any updates?
Updates in what regard?
@LivernoisMotorsports the Lincoln in general. How's it holding up with the tune, did you ever get the intercooler installed? If so any new numbers to report..ect
@@MrBiggharv the 3.0 EcoBoost is a stout platform, and this is barely scratching the surface. All of the upgrades for the Explorer ST we offer, will pair well on this vehicle as well. Check out some of those videos for even more updates and feature releases.
i just bought a 2022 Lincoln Aviator Reserve. Have 3 questions. 1. Seen other messages this is to be using 91-91 octane gas correct ? 2. Is this a set and forget meaning i can be able to conceal the programmer ? 3. is there(or will it be) a programming to save gas ? Want to buy this asap!
We do offer a 91-93 tune, and that's what is featured here. It will make slightly less power when using 91, but still huge gains versus stock. It is absolutely designed to be a "set it and forget it" tune, meaning there is no need to send logs or request adjustments unless you want to. And our performance tuning is always the most efficient we offer as it makes the most power.
Are the numbers the same for the 2020 Aviator Reserve as well?
@LivernoisMotorsports 2 years later so I'm not sure if I will get an answer. But I assume doing something like this would be advisable to do after your manufacturer warranty has expired and run out, yes?
Once I install the tune can I easily revert back to factory setting when I want to bring back in for service
Yes you can
Do you consider this a conservative tune for daily driving? Any need to upgrade the inter cooler with this tube?
This is absolutely something we consider safe for everyday use. While an intercooler is a solid upgrade, it is not necessary for our tuning.
@@LivernoisMotorsports thanks for the reply. Do you have an approximate time for when the tuner will be back in stock on your website?
@@brianfleischmann4410 it’s about 3-5 weeks at this time.
@@LivernoisMotorsports are these numbers the same for the 2020 Aviator reserve?
Will fuel efficiency remain the same with daily driving?
Really impressive! What about the gearbox? Ford claims 10R60 (am i right? ) handles up to 443 lbft. Would it last long? And what about other transmission parts?
We've had phenomenal success with the 10r60, and never had any problems with one even when making another 100hp
Waaaup were can i get headlights like in video????
We're fairly certain these are just production headlights, but we didn't install any at the very least.
@@LivernoisMotorsports thanks for answer🫰🏻
Can you program deactivating the start-stop feature stays off every key cycle?
Yes, we can
Is there no tune for the GT versions? I'd prefer that instant torque.
No there is not, as we do not support the hybrid at this time.
When are you tuning a ranger raptor
Unfortunately, we are still working on breaking encryption. We do not expect it to be in it for a year or longer.
Genuine question. What's the difference between this tune and a 5 star tune, or any other company for that matter? I'm interested in getting my aviator tuned
While we couldn't even begin to tell you the hard differences, we can tell you what sets us apart from any, and all companies in the marketplace.
Unlike anyone else, we develop everything in-house. That means the tuner hardware itself, the software to tune these, the actual calibration for the vehicle, and many of the hard part upgrades we offer. This gives us a unique perspective that allows us to offer insight, and results that simply buying into a platform (like all other tuning companies do) cannot provide. Since we know how every facet of tuning is done, it allows us to go further, and offer things no one else can since they are reliant on others to allow them to offer what they do.
@@LivernoisMotorsports understood, and thank you for your timely response. Are there any precautions I should be aware of in regards to vehicle warranty or stock OEM parts holding up with the 91-93 tune? (Getting more HP out of a stock vehicle sounds appealing, but not at the expense of reliability and I don't have extensive knowledge or experience with tuned vehicles. I'm just now starting to research)
@@MrBiggharv So long as you respect the vehicle (maintain it better than the manual suggests, always run top quality premium fuel, etc) they're very reliable, and warranty concerns are unlikely.
@LivernoisMotorsports thank you
When are we going to get the e85 pump and tune for the ST ? Your website has said under development since 2019
It's still something we plan on releasing
Nice! If I use this will it void my warranty? Does it leave a “foot print”?
This depends on the dealership, and your relationship with them. If they dig deep enough they will be able to tell it has been tuned.
@@LivernoisMotorsports Thank you so much!
@@LivernoisMotorsportsIn case there’s issues that needs to bring to the dealer, if they are not aware, would we be able to remove the tune and put everything back to stock before bring in for service?
If they don’t intend to look for it being altered, will they be blue to tell of the fly if it’s been tuned?
@@juliethao-gd4cv You can use the device to return to stock, as for if they can tell, if they look deep enough, yes they can.
Does the big intercooler fit on the PHEV version or is there some other stuff in the way behind the grill?
Our intercooler does fit the GT models, we cannot comment on other brands
Do you get the same gains out a a 3.0 eco mkz?
I think they are the same engines. They offer a tune for the 3.0L MKZ but I'm unsure if that tune is as good as this. Some more info would be great
Great work! Have a 2021 Aviator GT w/494 hp stock. Would your tuner add the additional HP and shifting you noted during the video? 🔥👽
Unfortunately we do not support the hybrid models at this time.
@@LivernoisMotorsports Thank you for replying :)
Do you have to leave the module connected to the car once the tune is entered or can you tune and remove it?
It can be removed.
Do you think an oil catch can is needed for this aviator engine? Twin turbo direct engine..from Lincoln makes me nervous and build up
Required? No, but it's not a bad idea.
I saw another comment that you don't support the GT model is there any plan for support in the future?
Currently, we do not plan on supporting the Hybrid models.
What kind of tunes do yall have for the 2.7 ecoboost Lincoln MKX
www.livernoismotorsports.com/product/LPP631147
Please get to an aviator PHEV :) then us europeans can use the tunes on the explorer st PHEV as well! We dont get the non PHEV model unfortunately!
Unfortunately, the hybrid model is not likely to be supported fit the foreseeable future
@@LivernoisMotorsports thats a shame :(
A few months ago you commented the tune is not applicable to the hybrid. Is it probable you''ll offer something in the future for those of us that purchased that model? Thanks!
It seems unlikely due to some unique calibration items and hurdles, plus a very low sales rate.
Anyone got feed back?
We have a fair amount of customer feedback on this offering, and we've even further improved on this, added our multitune offering, and more!
How much the tune?And how can I buy it without even come to the shop
You can order the tuner on our website www.livernoismotorsports.com/product/LPP631160
Isn’t this a twin turbo 3L? Why do you keep saying and “the higher trim 3L tt?”
He’s referring to the Explorer trims. The ST, Platinum, & King Ranch trims all come with the 3.0tt, but the other trims do not.
And what if I use 87 octane fuel? Will that still work with your tune? How it would affect the HP increase?
We do support 87, but these require 91+ even stock and loses substantial power when using less than 91. So gains are very small, 10-15hp and the baseline would be even lower than this seen here.
Why would you do that 🤦
@@gearsd3008 Do what, exactly?
@@LivernoisMotorsports I heard all force induction vehicles should use 91 or highest available. So I’ve used that since I got mine 👌🏽 time for a tune I think tho now 😬
@@adielcerriteno1990 Agreed on all fronts!
Why does your product on your website state about 50% of the gain you show here in your video? Almost had me buying until i saw that much lower quoted gain buying your tuner.
The website is still being updated. With 2021 and 2022 pricing challenges are a full time job to keep up with. So the copy, and marketing, has not been updated. But this video is the current result.
What about a 91 octane tune? Do you also have a tune for flex fuel e85?
We do offer 91, which makes about 10hp less. As for flex. Unfortunately not in these. E30 is the highest the fuel system can handle safely
Could you do a custom tune with a HPFP and stage 1 fuel injectors that runs flex fuel e85?
@@LivernoisMotorsports are the numbers the same for the 2020 Aviator Reserve?
Product page on the website shows way less gains than this video
The page is just outdated with the original release gains, so you can see how far it's come since Version 1 came out
Livernois the best shop of all time did u guys see Kevin van voris parting out his demon LMFAOO what an idiot anyway love the content would love to see u guys take a 1025package Trx to the track
We hope with the tracks being open we can get more content at the tracks.
@@LivernoisMotorsports that would be awesome
Your showing these great test results of over 100hp gains but on yur website it shows 52whp and 61 wtq. Why the difference and why not show these gains on your website?
The website just hasn't been updated since the relaunch or the site, but they're all on the list to update once that section is reached.
0-60? Or maybe a 0-60 video?
Bought their re-calibration system, will not load, tech support is non-existent, no return emails or calls.
Looking through our Ticketing system, a tech ticket was just submitted Yesterday (Sunday) and the team just reached out 30 minutes or so ago.
This is an suv, not a truck.
They're technically station wagons according to the government. So, we're both wrong in their eyes.
If you turn back time, SUV's used to be branded (and sometimes still are) under the "trucks" division. The original blazer, and even today, many SUV's are under "Chevrolet trucks" or, the entire portfolio of GMC vehicles is technically under "GMC trucks"
So, truck is an acceptable term for an SUV, but SUV is not acceptable for all trucks.
It's a little like the fact that all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
It's a wagon... not a truck.
The term truck has been used since the 1930s for SUVs. The suburban carryall was built by Chevrolet's truck division. Which led to decades of SUVs being called trucks. Only the government calls them station wagons.
How is this possible? The ST is only getting 60 hp?????
we've long surpassed the 60hp mark on the ST
@@LivernoisMotorsports is there an update I can get?
@@logic3730 We periodically update our tunes, but do offer some of the newer, optional upgrades for purchase.
