Frustration definitely takes you in a wild ride thats for sure lol specially when ford never really helps (probably revenue tactic to get you buying another car)Joined today. 1st post. References butt sniffing in a thread about transmissions. This guy is gonna fit right in here

I use the browser find-in-page function to look for butt-sniffing in every post. If I don't see it I move on.I only read the first few lines, then skimmed through to the part about butt-sniffing
Last time I checked it is
this is probably the first time I see this great of mpgās to be honest iām amazed how much its changed to the better let alone it just feels like when I bought it just all the added goodies from the tunes 
tire size/axle ratio changes without pcm value changes does throw off a lot of things like mpgās driveability and well a few white hairs at age 33 for sure. Before I never left the realm of 14mpgās on e85 and around 18 on 93 tune.It seems tuning (hacks donāt really change tire size or axle ratios properly) so I changed them in fords ASBuilt coding and bam both ABS and output shaft speed sensors read the same speed = now digital and analog speedos read exactly the same. Thats the main reason I found why when making one or the other or both of those mods in the car it wonāt essentially show performance or even lower it along with mpgās (also driving like a grandma when I took the pic lol iām sure spirited driving regularly will be lower to mid 20ās but not 14 like I used to get on e85) pretty happy with the results and its buttery smooth all the way up to 160mph, shifts are on point feeling like stock no hick ups it almost feels like that youtube video of the 4.09ās in the 10r80 just a but more top end since its a 3.73 which is also the amount I felt from the 3.55. Pretty interesting stuff.
Iām sure itāll eventually change I was on 91 when I reset it before a 2 hour trip so mostly hwy driving and went e85 yesterday morning which is why I expect it to be lower 20s in a few days but essentially not lower than 20 unless I stick to just racing.
Easy! Fill up the gas tank. Reset the Fuel Economy screen. Drive one block and take a photo of the screen, Voila! 30 MPG ;)
True but it would be lower than 30 if I did that, but this was partly 91 tune mpgs pic taken same day after a few hours on e85. Having no restriction in exhaust does up your mpgs from stock unless spirited driving takes place as it will require more fuel up top.
I did that once in a mountain cruise downhill it took a while to come down from 50ās downhill
reason why I mentioned something wasnāt right between pcm coding and what tuning does to change them.All my issues were very similar to yours and got corrected by forscan, every time you ro a tire size or gear ratio change it will cause issues since the shift schedules are based off rpm/speed between both abs/outputshft sensor most commonly off roll out in the tire size. Unless these arenāt things youāve done to the car meaning other than stock size tires you will have to change the coding with forscan. So basically youād change the coding for the change and trigger pcm relearn to get rid of the P-160A DTC and also wouldnāt hurt to reset the adaptive learning tables or just turn that off so it doesnāt start shifting harder with time as it learns your driving. I believe its about $60 for the chord and you get a 2 month license for free. Thats how mine got rid of the issues you mentioned and got back all the power (basically the no power felt weird stuff in shifting is the car pulling spark and no torque is how I can explain what mine felt like)
