Livernois Tuning released

[Adventure Ranger]

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...

Any idea on fuel economy change? Hear so many mixed reviews - some get more mileage, some less. Like everything else on the interweb - hard to know what's the real truth.

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

We'll pay brokerage/Duty plus our Fed GST of 5% when imported. I've had someone try to send me something in an unmarked box sent personally - they caught it and dinged me !

It all depends on the driver. Really, as long as you maintain the same driving habits pre and post tune, you should get a good idea of whether or not you get better fuel economy. From my personal experience, I’ve gotten better fuel economy with the tune. However, it won’t help much if you’re always mashing the pedal, which is hard to avoid when you get those gains... but ideally your mileage SHOULD get better.

I live 4 mins from US border and before the damn CV19 I would just go p/u from my post office box. Unfortunately, now the border is closed because, well you know.

I sold something on a harley forum to a guy that had it shipped to a ups store on the border an he drove down to pick it up. Less headache

Confirmed. Livernois responded stating that quoted shipping cost of 31.69 is before duties and taxes which will be an additional $60-$100.

Yup - I love living in the Great White North, until we need to buy something from south of the 49th.

I'm running the 91-93 performance tune and I can confirm that IF you drive it normal with a few WOT you will get better mileage. Here's my most recent fill up with a little off roading and 2 trips to higher elevations,Bryce Canyon and Kolob Canyon and I got 24.5 mpg. I was averaging around 22 before the tune.

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 !

Maybe vote for folks that'll stop raising your taxes.

That is an insane amount of big brother fingers in your pockets

Really leaning to getting this.
Couple of questions:

How many miles should I have on my Ranger before applying a tune? Just got it a month ago and have just under 1000 miles on it.

How does this affect winter driving? Just got 5" of snow and expect 5" today. Don't want it to be too skittish in slippery conditions.

Loving the truck but want something a little more sporty.

Thanks.

I had around 7000 on mine before I got my tune only because I procrastinated getting one for over 10 months. There are several here who have had theirs tuned with about the same miles as you and have had no issues. I would get it now.?

I can only guess on the winter driving that if/when it gets bad out you can just flash the stock tune back so it's not so aggressive to drive when the weathers bad. It's easy to do and only takes maybe 2-3 minutes. This way when it clears up (even through the winter) you can flash bask the performance or tow tune.

After reading all these posts I decided to plunge into my wallet and get the tuner just now . First time I'll be doing this process but doesn't seem to hard from the instructions. Now hopefully my wife doesn't kill me before I get it in the mail

This form makes me spend LOL

Oh you have no idea...lol

I was debating on getting one too then after countless reading I broke down and got it. Just wish I did it sooner. Maybe you can have your deliveries sent next door to keep you out of trouble for a while? ?

From what I've heard that only works once.
