Livernois Tuning released

[jerrywin]

Put about 300 miles on it up in the mountains the last 2 days ( we got chased out by some serious smoke ). I loaded in the 91-93 soft shift, to put it in one word, superb. Damn it's smooth, holding gears when it needs to, swiftly and softly rolling through the gears when it needs to do that. I'd have paid $500 just to get the tranny to shift that well. Anthony, give the guys that sorted out that programming an atta boy ( or a raise ). beautiful work guys. The extra power passing folks is handy too, was reeling a guy in in a newish F150 uphill with all my camping gear in the back trying to pass a Prius in one of the way to few and short passing lanes on Hwy 88 on the way home. Even got a nod from the guy when we went by him on the next one.

Earlier on Saturday before the smoke rolled in.

Curious; did you pay attn to MPG's on the trip?

Just went and looked, 20.7 for the tank so far ( filled when we left ) It says I have fuel left for 45 miles. We live almost at sea level, we crossed 2 passes over 8000 feet to get to our destination which was 9600 at our campsite. 5 to 6 miles of 4 low in and out mostly just crawling along and only one spot where you are definitely 3 wheelin it. I haven't reset the wheel diameter yet and I'm now running 265/70r18 and I absolutely drive like a polite asshole everywhere I go, I rarely get passed by anybody. It certainly hasn't got any worse than prior to having the tune. I'll read up on the pro/cons of resetting the tire diameter either with the tuner or forescan ( I have both ) and will report in the milage thread when I have solid info.

I know this is old new but I cannot say enough good things about Livernois Tuning. They have been extremely helpful and quick to respond. I bought my tuner second hand. I shipped it back for a reflash and had it back in under two weeks. I just sent them my stock file and tuning request late last night and received an email stating my new tune was available today. Cannot wait to get home and test it out!

While I was completing the paperwork for the Ranger, the Finance guy and I were chatting about cars and bikes.

He had a Focus RS and was absolutely effervescent about the performance and service from Livernois!

They're the real-deal. Looking forward to the upgrade.

Doug, you'll love their tune. It's great that they give you all 5 tunes to try out and let you decide which one works best for your driving style. Not like some others where you only get 1 or 2 tunes and then have to pay for more.

I know I sound like a broken record but their customer service really is fantastic! No matter who answers the phone they're all super helpful. I only have one regret....I wish I did it sooner!

Can you talk them into a free damper with the tuner...then I might get both.

I installed the 93 tune last night and this truck is quick!

I updated mine to the 91-93 also. I've had some vacation time so my driving routine hasn't been the same so I can't say if MPG changed or not but the fun sure has. I'll probably switch back to 87-89 of gas prices jump up again to the over $3 a gallon for regular.

 

[Bacon0961]

My gas mileage has definitely improved. I made a round trip today that usually takes almost a half tank. Today it used just over a quarter tank. It’s still shifting kind of hard but I will be taking a trip to Kentucky tomorrow to see my dad and check my deer stand which is about 120 miles one way. Hopefully it will learn my driving habits by then.

Okay okay, I can't take it anymore. Everyone has this and I don't..serious fomo happening here.

I was going to go with FP tune because of warranty but from what I've read most just flash back to stock before taking it in?

Four questions, any Canadian drivers have Livernois tune and how was shipping to Canada?

Anyone know any coupon codes??

and finally my stupid question: Do you have to leave it plugged in all the time or do you "Flash" and then remove it as it doesn't say in the online instructions.

Cheers everyone..

I'm also interested in getting their programmer and flash, however the price for us Canadians doesn't justify it. $500 programmer x1.34% exchange = 670.00 plus 7% GST = $717.00 PLUS Brokerage and shipping on top yet(possible Provincial Tax as well). It suddenly becomes an $800.00 + programmer ! To just gain a couple Liters/100 kms difference makes it really hard to justify !

Hi Mike, Agreed... (psst. GST is 5% tho.. )

5Stage is more expensive and doesn't even ship to Canada and the FP is >$800 and you have to use 91+ Octane, hence my looking at Livernois. The Livernois site says $531.68 USD shipped to my door via UPS. so that must include duties/taxes. I've sent them an online chat question and am awaiting a reply.. If no extras that would be $700 CAD total.

Ultimately the HP and TQ gain would be fab, but I really do not like how this stock tranny shifts. You go from Nice power to a fat slug as it skips gears, brutal. Sport mode does deal with this but then I find it shifting at too high an RPM for my normal daily driving. One thing, ppl have mentioned is driving in "trailer" mode which I need to research more. Any insight here from members would be appreciated.

$700 CAD does buy a lot of gas, even here in Canada where I pay 1.44 for 91 Octane per litre. (Thats $4.16 USD/gallon!! for our American friends. ..*grumbles everytime I read someone having to pay $3/gallon for premium*)

Hmmm...way to go Mike, now I'm back to being on the fence...

1. Whenever I go in for service, I flash mine back to stock and had no problems whatsoever

2. Sorry, I’m in the US.

3. No coupon codes that I’m aware of, but they did have a sale ($100 off) for a while. That’ll be the best deal in terms of savings.

4. After you “flash” the tuner, there’s no need to leave it plugged in.

Hope this helps.

Can you Canadians have a friend in the States send you the tuner or does customs charge tax when imported?
