I have not been able to put many miles on mine since the tune but I agree about the light load/low speeds. Got about 50 miles with some interstate tomorrow so will be the first time above 40 mph.
I was lucky I guess - did it all but the final step which I had the dealer do and he charged me $5 as it downloaded the tune in the time it took him to drop in the K/N. I did all the other steps myself as I knew my dealer didn't really want to and had never doing anything like it. Never used battery charger, just turned off lights, audio and climate. I found Ford Performance really helpful when I was first interested in it and trying to find out when they were coming out.
You might reach out too. I got good responses from them. Under no circumstances should you pay for 5 hours. My contact with FPP said it should take about an hour. Here is the contact info to someone I was in contact with that was very helpful and was the one that said an hour. Can't hurt.
If you can't tell then its not there. WOW it makes a big difference as has been said in acceleration and shifting. Well worth the money....anyway.....I looked over the instructions and didn't see any way to verify that the tune has been installed. You own the tool so plug it into the OBDII port and see what the tool reads - it should show two "tunes" available stock and Ford Performance calibration it shows up on the tool as Preloaded calibration. If the later isn't there the it didn't download, if it is, I'd try to re-calibrate it. I did everything up to the selection of the performance calibration and had the dealer start that so as to have him to have actually done the calibration and thus keep the warranty. In case you don't have it instructions attached.
i wish I would have captured the screens on my phone but this is what it should show.
Make sure when you're doing this that you have all the lights turned off radio turned off to not have the door open to your truck as yesterday I got into a simular situation where I was trying to restore the original build so I could enable the terrain management so I had to take my truck back to stock. It failed 5 times at that point I called Ford performance and then engineer called me back basically told me that you should have a battery charger on it. I installed the battery charger let it run a little bit then I tried to take the vehicle back to stock and it worked the 1st time . went in to change the settings in foscan After doing what I had to do I reinstalled the Ford performance tune work like a champ 1st time and you know it's done when it says reset turn Ignition of for 3 seconds
