Glad to see that it all finally came together! Looks amazing. Thanks for the shout out!

Thank you for all the info and help. Really made it easy.

My 'incident' actually happened a week ago. Day after 'Trash Day', someone threw out a BBQ grill and a the grating from the side burner got left in the street. Not to worry, my rear tire found it! I'll either be patching the tire or getting a new one when I take it in later this week for an oil change.

Haven't posted on this thread/forum in a long time. Thought I'd drop an update cause I love reading what everyone else is doing.

About 2,500 miles ago I bought and loaded up the Ford Performance 91+ tune and have loved it so far. I run it on 93 and I could definitely feel the truck wake up, especially after sizing up to 33"s. Really wanted to go with the Livernois tune because I've heard it recalibrates the transmission to not skip gears, which I f'ing hate. Other than that I am very happy with it so far.

Then about 1,500 miles ago I put on the MBRP 3" catback exhaust. It's not too loud but its definitely a step up from stock; have had a great experience with it so far. I have done two 500 mile trips with no droning issues at all.

Hey brendan, with the ford performance pack tune if you reset the tire size (revs per mile) and then have the transmission to a re learn with the larger tires on it will improve things a lot. it will still skip gears most likely but in mine it now goes to second gear every time and will skip third, then hit all the others. after updating the size and relearn i dont feel like i lost any go power at all. to be fair my new wheels and tires are a bit lighter than the stock wheels and old tires. but i figure the height traded for less weight was about even.

You can disable/halt adaptive shift strategies via forscan.

It will still skip gears during hard pulls but daily driving it'll basically become a 9spsd (2nd gear is a rarity).

Not the same as a tune but works for me. Behaves better in stop n go traffic.

Hey, thanks a lot. Is this any different than the tire size setting? I adjusted that for the 33''s (285/70/17) and didn't really see a change. That was also right after programming almost 8 months ago; may try to run the scan again.

Definitely going to give this a shot since around 3/4 of my everyday driving is through my city. Thanks a lot!

it may be different after you have the transmission do the re learn. basically what happens is the computer / transmission will remember how you drive in terms of gears, speed, rpm, shift points etc. so with taller tires the rpm and shifts etc. will change. so making the transmission learn with the new setup the transmission will learn the new normal and perform better.

Is it time for a new tailgate strut assist?? Lots of oil collecting on the bottom, it still works. I may be very sad if it just gives out. ? its about 3 years old

I bet if it fails you couldn't open or close your tailgate, weakling.

but your tranny will appreciate it and not fail on you.

Due to the bed height defect, i have become strong lifting things up into the bed! ? ?

I doubt that, these trucks are not for truck things. between the bed height, the defective tranny and the lack of a manual transmission I am surprised your truck hasn't driven itself into a lake.

Do not forget, gas in oil, clicking from ac blend doors, fan blade wiring getting cut!! Thats it, i dont use 303 graphene either, i am done for

In an effort to improve my trucks horsie powers I made some changes in forscan today.

enabled the road sign reading thing on the dash, made the chimes only come from the dash not the speakers, and tried to change some colors in the system . . . some of the colors changed one didn't (the door ajar border color).

should increase my horsie powers up by at least 37 horses.

holy heck my good sir. that is unbelievable.

You should definitely trade that truck in for a tacoma. they are super reliable you know. and for only ~20k more than a ranger tremor you could get a truck that is as capable.
