Glad you're able to get back into a Ranger so quickly! :like: It looks like they have the tune for the 2021 but you have to call them per the post above. BTW what are you getting?

https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/thre...r-mycalibrator-touch-tuner.11530/#post-220885
What did I miss? Why are you out of a Ranger?
COVID related layoff and sold the 2019 to make sure we had the essentials covered. I pick up a 21 Carbonized Gray FX4 Lariat this week. Missed having a Ranger!

Thanks for the linked quotes. Crazy how you can never find these things when you need them. :thumbsup:

I literally read through all 54 pages of this thread and by the end, congratulations guys, yet another one to join the Livernois club. Just ordered today! I’m definitely new to the tune game, in fact this is the first turbo vehicle I’ve owned. Runs great as is but looking for that “extra something” and from what I’ve read, this is it! Very cool these forums exist and everyone shares their experiences, super helpful. I think I read a few running the tune with the MBRP 3inch catback exhaust (the only upgrade I have so far) I assume the catback joined with tune works great, anyone currently Livernois tuned w/mbrp exhaust as well? hoping it screams a little more with the tune.

Their website only lists 2019-2020. Does anyone know for sure if the tuner works on a 2021? I'm finally able to get back into a Ranger and will miss the Livernois tune I had on my 2019.
Thank you very much for all of the kind words guys! Really appreciate everyone sharing their feedback. We do support the 2021 model year vehicles and thanks for bringing that it's not listed on the website to our attention. I will have the web team update the fitment listings online for this.

Yeah, I had the single side exit MBRP on before I got the tune. Can't say there is a notable difference between before and after on the sound, but the tune is happy with the exhaust and the "sound" has actually gotten slightly deeper as time has gone by. Still not a whinny mess, so good choices by me and if you do the same for yourself you should be happy. Good luck!!:thumbsup:

EDIT - running the performance tune 91 octane and that's plenty of "extra something" to start with unless you're a land speed record setter...close...whoosh!!!

Thank you! That’s exactly what I was looking for, I have the exact same, single side exit, while it’s mellow, still impressed with the sound considering our engine size. I’ll also start off running the 91 performance tune, hot weather is near here in AZ so I plan to do that for the next 5 months or so the maybe flash the 87-89 performance during cooler months. Who knows, I may be so addicted to the way the 91 feels may be hard to change anything up!

If you haven't looked into the catted downpipe from SPD yet, maybe take a look. Pairs nicely with a catback

For me the Gibson exhaust was great but when I added the downpipe it really gave the truck a good sound

Plus the performance increases

Deff something to look in to! after I have the tune in, I’m thinking downpipe and lastly Mishimoto intercooler and that should cover it....for now, can’t forget about this tailgate damper I keep reading so much about , I hear it saves 10mpg immediately after install :LOL:

Live in N.E.Phx and mine lives on the performance tune and the sad 91 we get saddled with here.
Love the tunes!
I’m here in North Phoenix (technically Glendale) but yes, I suspect I’ll be living and loving the 91 performance tune. How long has yours been tuned? Do you currently have all 5 tunes as well?

If you get the right one you get extra hp/tq gains which I can help you out when you're ready. ?

They will give you all 5 tunes if you ask when you submit your request. I've been running the 91-93 performance tune since August and really like that one. I tried the tow tune but I didn't care for it so I flashed back to the performance one. It makes a huge difference in the trucks performance. Drive it in S mode then picture that on steroids. ?

I honestly probably will never tow in the immediate future, but I do plan on asking for all 5 of the tunes as well just in case. So glad everyone loves this tune, just makes waiting that much harder!!

I don't tow anything anymore either but some like the tow tune as it changes the shifts and gives it more power low to mid range. I figured I bought it for the most performance so might as well use that one. It's just nice they give you all of them so you can try them out and decide which one you like best. Plus the free re-tune (you pay shipping) if you sell your Ranger and get something else is nice too.

It's perfect that you're getting it now before the heat sets in. I got mine in early August and it was still a big difference over stock but way more noticeable once it cooled off. Just wait until you're cruising along at 70 and put it to the floor. You'll be shocked how fast it takes off and before you know it you're up over triple digits. There's a few good stretches on the 101 to do this, so I've heard. :wink:

I feel like I might need to take the day off work once I’ve flashed the tunes, there’s very important testing and research that needs to be done! Yes, also a perfect side road I know of as I’m really close to 51st Ave and 101, also so I’ve heard :sunglasses:

Intercooler is a good choice. I have that one on the shelf yet to install from black Friday since I've been messing with my new camper so much.

Damper is a must lol, you get used to the convenience and worth it for the price

Did you get the Mishimoto intercooler? Cant remember if they had that on sale during Black Friday, they make a black one that I can’t stop looking at! I would’ve jumped on that as well but just got the truck early January. You’ll have to let us know the difference it makes, I know for us AZ’ers we could really benefit from it. 110 degrees is just a few months away! ?

Does the box have to be plugged in at all times for this to work? Or can you reprogram, and then put the box away until you want to change something?
