I have a question. About how long did you wait after you sent your base file to Livernois to get your tune back?
Average turn around time is 2-3 days, they're swamped with orders right now.

Well the Brown Clown let me down.

UPS kept showing delivery today until just a moment ago when it now shows Monday. :mad:

Not a big deal except I paid extra for express shipping.

Drat. Was looking forward to tinkering with this.
Not surprised. FedEx is just as bad lately. Shipping notifications are a joke. Haven't had a package on time (besides Amazon) since April.

First I want to say thank you to Anthony from Livernois! I was at a friends so I could upload my stock tune and called to make sure everything went through. Anthony went through everything step by step with me and even went as far to upload my tunes while I was on the phone with him.

I got the 87-89 Performance and soft shift, the 91-93 performance and soft shift and the tow tune. I downloaded the 91-93 performance tune and all I can say is this tune rocks!:rockon: Nice hard pull throughout the gears. From a dead stop it takes right off and chips 2nd easy and just keeps pulling. I can't wait to see how it runs once it's cooler out here as it's 111 out right now and it's a beast now.

Anyone on the fence about getting this tune from Livernois just stop and get it now! :stop: This is a customer focused company and everyone I talked to is friendly and eager to help you out.
On my wish list!

It really wakes the truck up even in this 115 degree heat! ?
I take it that you fully endorse this tune AZ? I've been thinking about buying their tune over others and their price at right around $500 is reasonable. Is there discounts I'm not aware of?

Btw, who the heck is this Sid and why is he in jail? Is he friends with James Woods?

I just installed it last Monday after procrastinating between this one and Unleashed. I know that Unleashed is top notch too from everything @Doc has said and posted but I went with Livernois because of their phone support and their great customer service. Yes it's $500.00 for unlimited tunes (I received 5) and lifetime free updates. If you ever sell and get another vehicle that they tune they will re-tune your My Calibrator Tuner for free, just pay the shipping to and from and provide them with the bill of sale.

Sid, well he was a well respected member/friend here who's banned but still with us in spirit. ?

Holy cow!
What on earth does one do to get banned from this forum?
Did he trade his Ranger for a Nissan?

Best mod for the money is a tune..my 93 octane tune makes 388 lb/ft of torque to the rear wheels and no other mods. That’s more than my SS 396 Chevelle made..my truck was the R&D truck for Unleashed...
Regards
Doc
EDIT: chevelle ET 14.2 in the quarter
ranger is 13.99 with piss poor traction..2.19 60 ft.

From reading all 35 pages here is what I gathered, some may have been covered but these seemed like questions most were wondering about:

Here's some shots of the gauges for those that are curious. There are many to choose from

Also earlier in the thread I read about clearing the KAM after removing the tune to further remove any trace of the tune. Looks like we might have a function for that but didn't try.

Also noticed when I locked the truck to run and get tacos the screen shut off in about 5 min. Confirming for those keeping it plugged in that it does shut off.

Last noticed the tire size is off should be 661 but Ford has at 683, prob what's inflating my gas mileage readings

I don't have the tune yet and will post back when I get to see how it feels

So, I received my tunes from Livernois. Before I flash I wanted to ask your input. Did any of you notice much of a difference between the performqnce tunes and the performance tunes with soft shift? How about the differences between the various octane tunes? Last question, did any calibrate for larger tires? Do we need the revs for the tire or the circumference? Did the recalibration for tires throw any flags or codes? Just getting my info ready for the flash. I appreciate the help.

I didn't mess around with the tunes and went right for the gold,91-93 performance tune. I figured I bought this tune for maximum performance might as well start there. The shifts are a little harsh at first but mine smoothed out nicely after about 100 miles or so. Now 1st-2nd still shift hard but that's only if you're easy on the gas, give it a little more and it'll skip 2nd like the stock Ranger.

There are setting in there so you can change the tire size/speedo. I think Anthony gave me a tune file that was already calibrated for this because mine reads dead on now where before it was 3-4 mph off. Just add to your email what size tires you have and I think they'll do it for you but it's easy to change.

Lastly there were no codes to worry about just upload your new tunes and have fun! ? Personally I would start with the 91-93 performance tune and see how you like it. I doubt you'll want to go backwards.

I've only used the 87-89s and towing tunes. First was the normal 87-89 and for my driving style the shifting was too much. After a week I switched to the towing and really like it better. Then I emailed for the soft shift 87-89. That's what I've been running and really like it. Seems to have the same get up but smoother.

I also changed my tires to Ridge Grapplers 285/70r17 and have the tire (Rev/Mile) set to 636. It's real close using a gps app.
