You are both correct and incorrect sir. The tuner itself is by Livernois, but the tune is by Ford Performance.
Unfortunately it won't. Already talked to Livernois and they wont do it. A pain in the ass but the unfortunate truth.
Boost and oil pressure I get but why a wideband Air/Fuel gauge? I figured that unless you are going stupid crazy with racing it isnt something to bother with.
Fair enough reasoning but if it helps you can get an Air/Fuel reading off the Livernois My Touch Calibrator. Just so you are aware at least. Unfortunately you will need to add for oil pressure.
I’ll need to install a sensor in my exhaust for the wideband monitoring. I’m thinking the mytouch calibrator would monitor lowband ratios due to the lack of the sensor. Believe it or not, the wideband setup is almost identical to the system on turboprop engines.
Lol I don't have a guide but the reading you get on the My Touch Calibrator for Air/Fuel is a Lambda reading. It is different then wide band and a bit more precise for the PCM. I myself monitor the following: Map and BP(I use them for boost calculations) Transmission Temp, Cat Temp(calculated value but better than nothing) Coolant Temp and Cylinder Head Temp(I watch the correlation between this and Coolant so I know if a leak is present without opening the hood). What you watch is up to you. Tire pressure is also avalible in the intrument cluster. I cant speak for the XL but I know for sure the XLT and Lariat do.
Hey that’s helpful info. Thank you!
BP stands for Barometric Pressure. That is the static air pressure in the general area you are in. For example a place with. High elevation with have lower Barometric Pressure. With that being said I take my Map pressure reading and subtract the BP and then divide that number by 2. Most of the time I will see a peak in the low to mid 20's in psi. That is how I calculate. As for transmission temp you need to scroll through the transmission screen to get that temperature reading. It is a pain to scroll but it is possible. Cylinder head temp is shown as CHT.
Awesome info! I didn’t even know you could scroll on the trans gauges screen. Imma have me some fun in the AM. Many thanks, Frenchy!BP stands for Barometric Pressure.

They have 5 tunes for the Ranger and you'll get all of them. I like the 91-93 performance tune and have been running that one since August. Like Steve mentioned you don't need to keep it plugged in but you can see data if you do. They sell a suction cup mount which if you're wanting to mount it you should get when you order your tune. Otherwise it cost more to ship it than the mount.
The Ford Tune costs more as well correct?
Yes you're correct the Ford tune costs more and IIRC you have to have them (Ford dealer) instal it. With the Livernois tune you can instal it yourself and you get all of their tunes which is currently 5. This way you can try them all out and see which one you like best. t only takes 2-3 minutes to flash between tunes.

The FPT is designed by Livernois but on a scaled down version. I realize some like the idea of retaining your warrantee but honestly I wouldn't worry to much. These eco boost are capable of a lot more than even these tunes provide but yes, anything can happen when tuning. So for peace of mind some like the FPT and it still gives you a huge improvement over stock.

Hey, Brian and Dave, it looks like you can't go far wrong with either tune, and a lot of members are very happy with both brands. Either way, you get a huge improvement over stock. I personally like to keep it in the Ford family for warranty purposes, but that is just me being extra-careful. As to price, it depends on where you buy your parts. Levittown Ford usually has the best price (and by far) on Ford Accessories and Ford Performance parts. For instance, on their site, accessed today, the tune in question is advertised as follows,
