Thanks everyone for thoughts and process.. Never had a motor blow on me before, so I’m just puzzled... I’ll be contacting 5 Star, to see what they say about the warranty etc... When I receive pics etc, I’ll post them... Tried calling them this morning, think the cold front coming through, has...
No sir.. I haven’t received anything from Ford about the oil pump... All I’ve heard is “all the mods”
I explained, to everyone... that I believe to pay to play... I’m not trying to do a song and dance to try and tip toe through a warranty issue... what I’m stating, is that I don’t believe it’s...
Thank you Stroker, for the info... I appreciate everyone’s info on here... I’m not trying to find a free ride, just an honest one... I haven’t contacted 5 Star yet, and won’t, because I don’t believe it’s the tune... It’s an oil pump failure, and Ford is going to hide behind “all the mods”...
LMAO!!! You take me back to the 80’s, when I had my first Toyota Tercel coupe... I installed a PA system in the engine bay... so we’d take turns slow rolling through grocery stores, while the guy in the back, would be talking on the megaphone... nSo as slow rolled through K-Mart.... Scotty, had...
Doc, that’s good to know... all my VW’s release back into the intake, for proper fuel measuring... If you used a blow off valve to atmosphere, it would throw a code... ?
My wife just replaced my Hyundai Elantra rental, with a 2020 black on black Ford Mustang Convertible EcoBoost, 2.3 4 cylinder... I’m gonna go flash it with a 5 Star Tune and enjoy my rental, and date nights ??
To everyone following this thread, I appreciate everyone’s tenacity on their beliefs... I understand the “Pay to Play” rule... I’ve modified every vehicle I’ve ever owned, and never had this happen... I have an APR Tuned 2+ Golf R, all wheel drive.. I can play with Mustangs and Chevy’s every day...
To everyone watching this thread, I have an update.... Ford has declined my warranty, due to “all of the mods..”.... So I’m going to get the number, of who’s Ford Dealer is talking to, and have them explain to me, “which mod caused my oil pressure light to come on and seize my engine?? I feel my...
When I bought the 3” down pipe through 5 Star, they sent me a new file to upload for the new mod... part of the warranty was that you had to buy only parts that they offered, and then they would send you a new tune “file” to upload for the parts you have installed... That is a good question...
I understand the pay to play, I’m fine with that... If Ford says that the tune blew my motor, then I’m going to turn to 5 Star, who’m I’ve bought the warranty through, guaranteeing their tune... and see if they honor it... we’ll see where it goes from there..
The first pull, was on stock wheels, just AFE intake and tune, 2nd pull was after installing the 3” AFE down pipe, and AFE intake tubes and another tune on stock wheels... the horse power didn’t change much, but the down pipe made the biggest difference in torque... I was happy with the tune and...
