[Updated] Ranger Ford Performance Power Pack Performance Tune Software (M-9603-REB) Released!

Damn. Best I've gotten stock doing Orange to SD was 25mpg. I was pretty thrilled with that.

I hit it just right. No stop and go traffic. Cruise control was between 70 and 75 the whole way. I think the shell helps with highway mpg also

I’ve seen several posts in this thread discussing octane but... will the FPP tune respond to lower octane like stock? My truck will mostly see light duty but would like extra power when pulling race car (approx 5,000 pounds). Don’t see the need to pay for 93 octane the rest of the time. TIA

No quite sure where to post this, here or here:

But what are your thoughts:

If I go into the dealer, and have them re-program the PCM per this TSB, I shoud flash back to stock?
But then, the stock saved version on the PROCAL is now different than the one on the truck, correct?
How do I update the PROCAL with this new stock version so that it now matches the changes made by this TSB, so the next flash to stock retains this new version updated on TSB-20-2339?

Thanks!

Having an issue, I bought the procal4 with the certificate, registered with the website. Though when I try to download the installer windows keeps deleting the file saying virus detected... Any one else have this issue?

I just ordered and am waiting for the Ford ECU tune. Question on wheel size.

Will 285/70 void the warranty? The below says 265/70 is max configurable, some have interpreted this to mean going bigger than that will void warranty.

I really want to do 285 and have removed crash bars, but I also want the FPP tune and don't want to void warranty.

Help?

I put 285/65R tires on mine and with the crash bars removed no issues. I was told by Ford Performance that the tune would not void the normal 3yr/36,000 mile warranty

I got a defender alert for Win32/Wacatac.DE!ml as a severe alert.
Im assuming it is a false positive sig.
I tried on an old win 8 laptop and couldn't connect to com port .
Went to an identical laptop with win 10 and no security and it installed and updated the procal 4 controller ok.

Yeah thats all Windows Defender or Bit Defender. Turn it off and you'll have no problems. I'm a systems architect. This is my field.

Got it figured out. Had to turn off windows realtime virus checker to download and to run the program. Thanks guys!

Sorry to bring up an old subject. How does the warranty work with the FPP with the 3yr/36k? I currently have the 5yr/60k whichever occurs first. Does it void the power train 5 year and switch to a 3 year Ford performance? Any clarification on this?

FPP will cover any problems caused by the tune for 3/36,000. The Ford factory warranty is still in affect unless a problem is caused by the tune. It would be interesting to see how the dealer/factory would try to blame the tune for, say, a leaky oil pan gasket. On the other hand they might be more successful with a blown head gasket. The FPP tune is very mild compared to the aftermarket competitors. If you drive like a normal (NORMAL!) person I can’t see this tune causing any damage. Just one old guys opinion. Yours may vary.

I installed this tune about 1500 miles ago. There is a definite boost in power and torque.

I have noticed a decline in gas mileage. 3 to 4 miles per gallon on highway and 4+ decline in city.

My dealer suggested that I not install the K & N filter. The head mechanic said they do not filter our small particles and would pre age the Turbo.

I am having the same experience, really enjoying the boost in power and torque, and the way the tune eliminates the hesitation between gears. So much so, I notice that I hardly ever put it in "Sport" mode anymore--it has become "sporty" enough without it. But, yeah, three to four miles per gallon is lost on average, which is a price I am willing to pay. So far, I have left the K&N in, but after hearing all the negative posts about it, which do seem to make sense to me, I will be going back to stock the next time I have some work done on the truck.
