Ford Racing ProCal Tune

[xraystyle]

So it's this kit on CJPonyParts, correct? http://www.cjponyparts.com/ford-per...ith-calibration-ecoboost-2015-2017/p/M9603M4/

You order this, then take it to the dealer and have them install it and flash the tune? Is this not something you can do yourself?

And apparently the dealer charges you for the install on top of the cost of the part/ecu tune?

$200 or $300 for install? why would it take up to 3 hours to install an air intake and upload a tune, seems nutty to me.

TC :doh:

Life is nutty.

125 per hour for two hours + tax seems about right for a dealership install.

You can definately do it all yourself if you can use basic tools. The dealer install is to get the 3/36 warranty if it matter to you. With my car at 23K miles, I don't think I'm going to pay to have it installed.

What about the 5 year warranty you will be voiding? Though it would be hard to prove the ecu tune was not the cause it will offer some protection.

The other half of the coin is that FP did say they tested their car(s) up to 60k with the tune with no adverse effects.

Again with miss information! It does not void your limited power train warranty your still eligible for 5/60k.

Maybe, maybe not... I chatted with the FP rep and quizzed him about the warranty issues. He insisted that the 5/60 was reduced to 3/36 but that the dealer had some latitude. But, I'm sure that if you install the tune and then go blow up your motor drag racing and it is outside of the 3/36, you are on your own.

Drag and track racing would technically void your warranty regardless... It clearly states it will not void your limited warranty if installed by dealer or ASE mechanic, thats more valuable than what you believe.

Can we get some 0-60 MPH or 3>4 gear pulls from the guys with early installs?

Believe whatever you want. Get on FP website and chat with one of the reps. The guy I chatted with was named Steve. Maybe he's wrong and you can educate him.

My car's a 2016 with 18k on the clock, so the warranty still matters quite a bit to me. I'll just have the dealer do it.

Thumbs up to that.

I know... hopefully we will get some people to install who will post some "real details" items we can look over.
