It's really hard to have a fruitful conversation with anyone that has their mind positioned the way you do, but I will attempt so we can gather some facts. First, that is not 93 octane. See the location? Hemet, CA. This is a 91 octane pull at best. Nobody needs to be ashamed because things...

If you search there are a couple of FPP tune dynos on this site, and they all confirm roughly the same numbers. Stock tune Rangers make around 240 WHP and FPP tune reliably bumps 40 WHP.

ISO 4548 ratings? It's not rocket science to understand there are better filters than the standard Ford sets for itself (USCAR-36).

I know exactly what you are talking about. It's hard to describe to other people (especially service advisors) but my particular truck does not like stopping and going on steep inclines. It's especially bad while towing. Generously lubing the slip joint helped a bit, but it is still there, which...

Best of luck with everything, Doc :thumbsup: I hope the days ahead are positive.

That's a good deal. When I was shopping I had the choice of two Ranger Xls (everything else was $6,000+ in my area). One was a 4x4 100A and the other was a RWD 101A . I drove both and couldn't seem to live without the electric power options and cruise control so I went with the RWD. I don't need...

I'll take them. PM sent.

Thank you for this. The readings on my dipstick were driving me crazy. This explains it.

Good to know :thumbsup:. Hopefully I won't ever have to find out. I have been to every dealer in my area (for the clunk on decel in the lower gears, especially when towing on an incline or in stop and go) and they all mentioned my ESP warranty in some way with remarks like "no matter what you're...

This is not the thread to have this argument, just FYI. @Frenchy and myself already went at it over the wording and language in the tune thread, and I even brought @LevittownFordParts.com into it (since it was their salesman that sold me the tune). I was under the impression that the 3 yrs 36k...

Once the tune has been redeemed it can only be used for the one VIN. AKA the tune can't be used on two different Rangers. It seems weird, but the previous owner could have just bought the tool, and a K&N filter without necessarily buying the tune. At least one member on here did just that. It's...

Depends if you want the tune or not, and if you have a warranty. The Ford tune will not 'void' any warranty, but the language is complicated. If something goes wrong while the tune is installed, Ford can claim that the tune caused the problem and not cover it under warranty. According to many...

That's the $800 question. Maybe the previous owner thought it would be better for some reason? Or the Subaru dealer thought it might mess with a warranty? Like I said, everything points to a tune, but if Ford Performance has nothing with that VIN then that kind of trumps all theories at this point.

Never did I mention anything of the sort. I only corrected you. Home installation, dealer installation, doesn't matter. The tool uploads the stock tune to FP servers in case something goes wrong. There will always be a copy of the trucks original tune with Ford tied to the VIN.

This is incorrect. The calibration tool uploads the original stock tune to the FP servers and is tied to your VIN. Everything seems to point that OP has a tuned truck, but it could have been deleted prior to the sale. He did right by contacting FP because they know best. I would do some more...

You can check the files on the calibration tool right where it's at in your truck. Under "calibration" on the main menu.

If the FP team has no record of your VIN on their servers, I would think it's not tuned. You should be able to check your calibration tool for the stock file, and the tune file (if you have one).

There is zero difference. This thread reminds me of my line of work. Someone complains about the taste of a bottle of wine. You walk it to the back, shine up the glass a bit and bring it back. All of sudden the flavor is much improved.

Same thing here. When using both upper and lower vents the airflow is weaker than just using upper or just using lower. I figured it was natural. It is definitely not a clogged filter in my case. Waiting for others to chime in.

I was waiting for this, but y'all put a $20 premium on the Ranger version. Guess I'll pass or wait for a decent sale code ?‍♂️
