Truth be known, one can install the FRPP tune themselves as long as everything is properly documented. Switch back to the stock tune? The exact same procedure as the Livernois because they use identical Calibrators. The advantage here being the price break from Livernois. The Long Island, NY...

I wouldn't worry about it as it connects with 'durable items' - appliances are an excellent example. Recalling my first car - thinking I changed that Fram filter and Quaker State Racing Oil every three months - I was proud of that car. Found an A-code 289 (4bbl) in the wrecking yard and...

I'm reminded of my current 20+ year old kenmore appliances and nearly 70 year old Lady Kenmore steam iron - all of which continue to provide reliable service. Knobs and door switch replaced on the dryer and the lid switch replaced on the washer, that's it. My 42yo Kenmore (Panasonic) canister...

You are foolish to make so many presumptions. The image leaves out ALOT of info. Keep making empty insinuations without anything to back it up. Could be a supercharged Yugo (or nothing at al). Make a constructive contribution to the conversation or just go back to where ever you came...

A stock Ranger has 255 dyno proven rwhp on 93 factory calibration. 282 dyno proven rwhp on 93 with the FRPP calibration according to the above chart. 240 or so rwhp on 87 factory calibration is about right from everything I've seen. Sad if true. Not even getting a 25 rwhp increase on 93...

Hook up Ranger to 'shore power' is best. This means connect a battery charger rated at least 2A to keep the power steady. Incredibly, I'm reading where people are Idling their vehicles for lengthy periods while doing SYNC updates/upgrades. Can take 1+ hours if everything goes well.....

Our issue apparently was not updating the firmware on the My Calibrator device beforehand. Even then, Ford/Livernois had to issue a new firmware update (Summer, 2020) to get everything running smoothly.

If my Ranger ever has an issue and my dealer tries to pin it on the FRPP tune, I'll regale them with the story on how they botched the original install after holding Ranger for 10 days. Then, I took Ranger to Extreme Mustangs/Extreme Motorsports in Monroe, NC (a Ford Performance service...

Item 4, part iv. Livernois wants to see your stock tune in advance to be sure they are sending you the correct tune for the correct vehicle. A copy of the stock tune remains on your My Calibrator after you download the custom tune. SOP for quite awhile now across all hand held calibrators...

The Livernois tunes are backed by dyno proven results. By '87' I believe you are referring to the stock tune? The stock tune/ECM-PCM will actually adjust itself for the grade of gasoline you're using, whether 87, 90 or 93. The stock tune will give you 15 more dyno proven RWHP when using 93...

Those aren't backed up 'dyno numbers', just something FRPP printed on their literature.... We've seen every other 'tune' on a dyno except FRPP's tune.... Ford has historically under rated their cars' HP/TQ ratings - thinking this 'tune' may very well be under rated. I have the FRPP tune...

I bought a couple of illuminated grille emblems from them back in the day..... ?????? https://www.carparts.com/jc-whitney?&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=BSA%20-%20PLB%20-%20B%20-%20JCW%20Brand%20-%20EX&utm_term=jc.whitney&utm_content=jc.whitney&gclsrc=3p.ds

Remember the good ole PH8A well now that you jogged my memory. My very first car was a '66 Fairlane w/C code 289..... (2bbl). Will always have fond memories..... Correct color - body - wheels - hubcaps except mine didn't have the R code 427 and fiberglass hood.... :)

Have you ever seen any numbers on the FRPP tune? Neither have I nor has anyone else. It's either an 'off the shelf' Livernois tune or one rewritten to Ford specs. Price break with the Livernois tune....

Here ya go!!!! 1940 American Batam Pickup truck. Not for 'tall people'.

Thinking it was a 'one year only option' (1982) - first year of the Gen 3 Camaro. Lots of weird stuff back then - even talk of putting a diesel into the Corvette. I've driven exactly one GM diesel - a first year 1978 Olds 88 coupe. Red with red interior. Seemed interesting but it wasn't...

Yeah, thinking the current vehicles with the iron duke Pontiac motors have been around since the early '80s...

One heck of a rolling billboard! https://arbusa.com/products/

Reminds me of the very specific 65mm cap wrench I bought to fit the oil filters on my Triumphs - still on my work bench....

The 'rigged' postal vehicles I've seen still had LH drive but had full pedal controls on the right - just like the Driver's Ed cars of decades past (early '70s).
