Livernois Tuning released

[RangersLeadTheWay]

Do you really want to take a chance on a $70.00 box on your $40,000 truck? ?

Wait, we paid $40k on our trucks? Damn, I got ripped off ???

I get it. I just didn't know if the price was performance based or what. Like I said, this is new to me.

In the last 5 years my daily drivers have included 2 Scouts and a CJ and a ton of island ragamuffins. lol

I've had many trucks but this is the first turbo I've ever owned so I'm new to tuning trucks too. I wasn't trying to be a jerk with my response just noting that the reviews weren't all that good and you're better off spending money on a quality tune.

I've been going back and forth on getting one but right now I'm still undecided. I like this one along with Unleashed but leaning more towards Unleashed because I have a Mac and this one you need Windows to run it. I'm not partitioning my HD (I hate Windows!) and I'm not buying a cheap PC just to rune a tune and it'll never be used again. Sorry but it's 2020 and more people own Macs now and this should be compatible for both.

That's fair, I'm a PC user so It's not an issue.

I was actually trying to find vinyl overlay stickers for the ford emblems and that just popped into the search I was having no luck with. haha

So, the box this thread is named after is the preferred brand?

As others have mentioned there are several good options.

On the site you will find good reviews from 4 main tuners and all are comparably priced.

The Ford Performance factory built tune, Unleashed, Livernois, and 5 Star.

I haven't heard anything really bad about any of those and would be confident in their ability and in support of their customers.

That said, just reading this thread you will see high praise for the Livernois tune both in performance and in support after the sale, which is worth a TON.

Thank you guys so much. I'm so torn on this forum. I stumbled on it looking for tire size info and now I know so freaking much more about my truck.

I also kind of hate you people, because I'm already in the poor house and I was happy just driving it to work everyday and now I'm always in sports mode and looking at performance parts. ?

Stick around long enough and you'll have all sorts of stuff showing up at your house that you didn't think you needed. lol

I definitely didn't know about their existence before this board. ???

Thank you. So I buy the widget, load racecar tune onto it, plug it into my truck, upload that tune (program, file, whatever), unplug and go race a corvette. Then when I need the trailer, I load a tow tune on my computer with widget plugged into computer, go out to truck, plug in widget and up load tow tune.

Is that right?

Does this interfere with the ForScan stuff?

Co2ranger answered most of your follow-up question to me. ?
Will not interfere with forscan. You can load several tunes on the "widget " ? only one tune to the truck at a time. You don't need a pc once your tunes are on your "widget ".

 

[AzScorpion]

No exprerience with unleashed,but this Livernois tune is worth picking up a cheap laptop pc. I have mainly apple products but still have PC’s around just because...
The cheap laptop I picked up was also useful for Forscan duties
I’m in N.E. Phx,and as you know,heat kills performance as well.But with this tune on my truck,and 33’s,it will bark the tires into 3rd all day!

That's impressive with 33's! I do have a friend close by with a pc so I guess I could use that just to download it.

Without having to go back and re-reading all this do you have to run 91+ or can you still run regular?

Thanks a lot. I've been a bolt turner, had a rat rod shop, built race trucks and stuff like that, but this thing is my first space ship.

Same here. So we understand the difference between mechanic and technician.

Abso-freaking-lutely. It's really cool to be a kid again and learn all this new stuff.

When I sold 3 trucks to get the money to buy this thing I was really bummed I wouldn't have anything fun to play with and tinker around with and after a year, I'm now even more obsessed with the Ranger. I freaking love this truck.
