The tuner will leave evidence that the ECU has been flashed.

Only dealer level tools can remove the traces according to one of the members on here.

You’re gonna love it. I forgot how good my mpg was before I went through my period of “testing” ?

Got my tuner today...think I'll go copy the factory tune now. I'm not in a hurry to install it because I wanted an oil sample analysed but I might forget that.

Anthony at LMS got my tune to me yesterday. It was a little beyond their typical 48 hour turn around time, but in his defense he said that they have been slammed AND short-staffed, so for those currently waiting don't be too surprised if it take little longer.

It is worth the wait tho. ???

Thanks for the reply,I know with Mopars,and HP tuners,you can get rid of the code/evidence so was curious if someone had figured it out for Fords as well.
Nope ...

Sent my stock tune in yesterday. Hopefully Monday I get my new one. I assume turn around time might be a little longer than 48 hours. Regardless, Im excited to test it out! I also own a built motor STi, and have put an ungodly amount of money into it to make a reliable 400whp and 455wtq. So....for 500 bucks, comparatively this tune seems like money well spent for the power figures!

Maybe I’ll do a downpipe next, punch the quarter sized hole out of the stock exhaust and just run that. I don’t want it to be obnoxious.

I was loving everything except for the sequential shifting in drive mode so I asked for the soft shift performance tunes. They were in my cloud within a day and now I wouldn't change a thing!! Fantastic service and product, livernois!

Okay, got to the point of comfortable miles on my truck and installed the tune. Loaded the 87-89 tune, 1/2 tank of 89 octane onboard and 5,000 lb selected as vehicle weight on torque pro. Best of 3 pulls each before tune and after. Same location, same humidity, one degree cooler on the after tune. I'm not claiming precise numbers, just comparing real world before and after using one means of measurement. Use the information, flame the information, ignore the information. It maters not. Funny how all the disclaimers have to be said. I'm sure I've forgot a few. Maybe my grammar or spelling or punctuation. :crazy: Screen shots below.

Short story: Installed 91-93 Performance Tune this morning and I love it.

Long Story:
Ordered MyCal Touch Tuner last Sunday evening and requested UPS 2nd Day Air. UPS had a glitch due to weather or Covid or something and I did not get the Tuner until Thursday evening. I downloaded the stock tunes and sent in the request around 8:45pm Thursday. I was not sure if the stock tunes sent (internet issues) so I called Anthony at Livernois Friday morning because I did not want to find out Monday that they did not have them. He said they had them and "no promises" but he would try to get the request filled Friday evening or Saturday. Got at email at 7:08pm Friday that my tunes were ready for download. Great customer service!

I received the following tunes as requested:
91-93 Octane Performance
91-93 Octane Performance w/soft shifts
87-89 Octane Perfomance
87-93 Towing

I have a 2019 Lariat FX4 Supercrew with about 7300 miles on it running 93 octane except for one tank of 89 because the station was out of premium. The only changes I have made (other than Forscan changes) was Weathertech VentVisors and Mudflaps and installed Ham Radio. Mine came with a dealer insatlled folding bed cover. I have averaged 22.3 mpg over the first 7300 miles.

I am a light footed driver and my wife gets frustrated because I usually drive right at the posted speed limit. My first impression this morning after installing the 91-93 performance tune was a better throttle response and around 200 rpm decrease to maintain posted speeds. I noticed the sequential shift but it did not seem harsh shifting into 2nd as some others have posted. I believe this probably has to do with the adaptive transmission already accustomed to my light foot. I requested the soft shifts due to some comments in this thread, but I doubt I will ever use it. I like this one. Also, I reset my trip meter yesterday for a short 40 mile trip and still avg'd about 22.3 mpg stock. I reset this morning after installing tune and the same trip avg 26.4 mpg.

But wait there's more:
As I entered the highway this morning the right lane traffic had slowed to about 25 mph. I switched to the left lane and accelerated from 25 to 70 in the length of two 18-Wheelers and the engine seemed to want to do more, but remember I drive with a very light foot and the speed limit was only 65.

Finally:
Although I usually drive light footed, there are some situations that require a more aggressive approach so I usually test each of my vehicles capabilities after about the first 1000 miles. My Ranger performed well during this test but I found the speed governor at about 109 mph during the initial test. It took about 1.5 miles to go from 70 to 109 at WOT. New tune so new test this afternoon.
I did not find the governor but went from 70 to 117 in less than 1 mile at WOT. My tires are only rated for 110 so I let off at that point but I could tell it wanted to do more.

Ford did good with this engine but the Federal requirements harnessed this engine's true capabilities. Livernois Tuning set it Free and I could not be happier with the price, quality, and service.
