Thank you for sending them this aggressively (but justifiably so) worded e-mail. This is definitely frustrating to learn after having already paid the extra for the OEM-affiliated tune to secure my warranty. Especially so since one of my motivations in getting the FPP tune specifically was to...
I have a 2019 with the FPP tune and chatted with Ford Performance customer support. Here is my takeaway -- keep in mind that all of this information is unofficial until FPP makes a statement one way or another.
FPP rep said that while they haven't seen any issues to date with the tune and...
Just speculating here: it took me about 8hrs to do all four doors working at an amateur's pace; a pro could probably do the same work in four hours or less. Typical independent auto shop rates IIRC are $50-$75/hr. This should give you a good starting point for cost.
It's honestly not too different from the ROTW ranger video linked in the first post -- you'll be just fine using that as a guide along with the notes I posted.
Oh, super clean sub install!
I tried rejoining the broken pieces of the light pipe using heat shrink, but the light transmission was poor enough that the ambient lighting in the door handle got dim. It bothered me (of course) so I had to replace it.
This is great info, thanks for the part number. I actually ended up buying a full used door panel from a wrecker and sadly paid way more than if I had just bought that light assembly. I was unable to find it when I searched.
I don't think any of this information is correct.
Reading through the warranty docs on the FPP website, the gist seems to be that the FPP warranty covers any damage to the vehicle that is found to be caused by the FPP parts or software added to the truck. The FPP 3yr/36k warranty starts from...
Took my Hot Pepper Red RTR from Los Angeles back home to the East Coast, up through upstate NY, and back west via Colorado. Here are some snow pictures.
The New Zealand spec Ranger RTR appears to have both the RTR flares and front+rear mudflaps, as seen on the white press truck. I'm curious about this setup as I have RTR flares on my truck.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what package applies black front and rear Ford emblems as shown in the video above? My understanding is that the black appearance package vehicles still come with blue emblems.
I finally got this installed a few weeks ago. I'm very happy with the result -- gobs of torque everywhere, and have not noticed a decrease in fuel economy with the same driving habits. I chose not to install the K&N filter, which I verified was acceptable with Ford Performance.
I got mine to update on my 2019, but the process was tedious and not ideal -- see my experiences in the post linked below. The new software feels snappier, and I really like the aesthetic changes as well...
Just completed the update on my 2019. My experience was pretty fraught.
My install started normally, with the "Updating System" banner showing in the upper part of the screen
After about 45mins the "Updating System" banner disappeared but the system did not give me the "install complete"...
I recently applied sound deadening to the doors of my 2019 SuperCrew Lariat w/ B&O premium audio. I thought I'd share some notes here for posterity.
How much sound deadening to buy:
I purchased a Dynamat 36sq.ft. kit, and had about a sheet and a half of material left over after applying...
