I like the tune and I had it dealer installed for warranty purposes. It came with the PROCAL, and they mounted it to the bottom left windshield. Do you guys leave in the truck all the time, or unmount it until you need it again?

There is no reason to leave it connected at all times.

All depends on preference. When I had the Livernoise tune I kept it on there and monitored certain data mainly related to temperature. Others decided to put it away until they needed it or wanted it.

In the box in my closet, once tuned not needed again unless you are one of those detail oriented people who like to monitor every little thing. :)

Only caveat to this is: if you have non-OEM tire/wheel/diff ear ratios, you can use the ProCAL to set the correct speedometer settings (revolutions per mile based on tire/wheel combo) and/or diff ratio without FORSCAN or any stand-alone speedo adjustment tool.. Makes a huge difference in the computers calculation of mpg. Look under the Maintenance off the main menu.

Haven't seen to many here change their rear diff or gear ratio's, tires for sure, but those are easy to adjust for, most just want to wake up the eco-boost.

I bought some 'gas pedal' module which I forget what it was, but I tried it, and returned it. I like the truck as-is. I thought about a tune, and then said, nah.

Agreed. Just noting that the ProCAL offers the diff ratio option... which surprised me.
I have summer and winter tire/wheel sets, both not OEM sizes, will be using the ProCAL to make the adjustment each fall/spring.

Just a quick question on the warranty on the FPT

On a new truck purchase....in Canadian mileage I have 3yr / 60,000km bumper to bumper and 5yr / 100,000km powertrain warranty

The FPT is 3 yr / 36,000 mile (60,000) whichever comes first is that off the balance of trucks own warranty or is that solely the warranty of the FPT

I currently have 28000 miles or 45,000km at present

It is solely based off the vehicle original purchase date. For example if you are like me and bought your truck on October 30th 2019 you would be SOL and have no more warranty. If it was the same month and day but in 2021 you would have warranty until October 30th of 2024(or by mileage/kilometers if those came first).

That make sense?
