Truthfully, I'm not sure - my truck only has 760mi on it and I don't watch the MPG like a hawk. However, with the Ford Performance tune installed, it's currently close to 19mpg with combined city/highway driving.

Put your vehicle on a 10 amp charge during the process - this will keep the system voltage in the green zone.

Ford Performance states 91 is the minimum octane required to run their tune. When you play games with spark knock on turbocharged engines, you can often end up getting the short end of the stick.

If MPG and the increased cost of premium fuel are major concerns to a Ranger owner, my recommendation would be to leave the truck stock. When it comes to performance, one adage rings true - you pay to play. This is especially true for those who run aftermarket tunes that are unrefined and push...

I'm glad you found an informed, fair dealer! $112 is cheap!

Please be more specific...

I'll let you know when it settles out - I don't really have a starting MPG, as my truck only has around 350mi on it and I never really paid attention to it. My previous ranger, even with an aftermarket tune, got around 19mpg in the city. My truck sees less than 5000mi per year, so, I'm not the...

Agree ? percent - not giving Ford another excuse to deny a warranty claim is a big deal to some people. Also, considering this tune was developed by Ford, my assumption is that it still has a large degree of safety factor built into it.

FYI: whenever I do a calibration update on *anything*, my personal truck, a Cummins ECU for work, etc, I *always* connect the vehicle/machine to a battery charger. A 10a charge is more than sufficient to keep the system voltage in the green zone. Having a significant dip in system voltage...

I understand why independent shops not familiar with Ford Performance products may not want to do the install - the idea of having a paper trail of an unfamiliar service procedure leading back to their business adds a degree a liability with which they may be uncomfortable. However, call me a...

Thanks! In total, the test + registration fee + some study materials was around $100. The certification is pretty much useless in my industry, however, it's indispensable for stuff like this... I now have another piece of paper on my wall ?

Folks, My last Ranger had a stage 2 tune from Gearhead on it. For a variety of reasons, this time around, I went with the Ford Performance tune. Purchased the kit from Levittown Ford with a discount coupon for just over $700 shipped to my door. According to Ford Performance, the kit has an...

To the best of my knowledge, the singular muffler on the 3" F150 system is the same as the one on the 3" Ranger system. The OEM system on the Ranger uses a multi-chambered tuned muffler + a resonator to mitigate NVH. The idea that both of these systems produce similar interior resonance levels...

For the record, I have never heard a Ranger with an MBRP exhaust. However, I have heard several F150's with the 3.5L Ecoboost and an MBRP single side exit 3" system - inside and outside, the tone/noise level was for lack of a better word, obnoxious. When the engine was under moderate to heavy...

When I said "nearly stock," what I should have said is "nearly imperceptible from stock" inside the cab.

I think you will be pleased - I was driving around today and the sound level is nearly stock during normal driving. When you get into the skinny pedal you can hear a bit of a rumble, yet still no drone inside. This is as close as you can get to having your cake and eating it, too!

Cold start, 30 seconds, vehicle in garage with door open. https://photos.app.goo.gl/eH1wT5582uQioPUv6

The 18" is going to have a more aggressive sound than the 12577, which has a 22" body length (5x11 oval). Also, pipe will need to be added to make up for the shorter length.

Sure, let me get a cold start clip tomorrow!

Folks, Instead of purchasing an off-the-shelf system for my 2023 Ranger, I decided to modify the OEM exhaust. Many of the systems out on the market are simply too loud for my taste - I'm around loud, heavy equipment all day long and the last thing I want is the interior of my Lariat...
