    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Ya I just pulled the base tune out and will wait for the revision. Update: I pulled the base tune as I had audible detonation at low rpm under moderate throttle and will wait for a revision. I do not have absolute confirmation of this (we will see if it shows on logs) but likely as I...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Just sent in two data logs. There is some learning to the app and I lost a couple logs by pressing the stop button too many times. Odd my oil life indicator immediately went ot 0% after first load of tune. Also, the infotainment display is going up and down in brightness and the UI changes...

    My tranny has been very good in stock form since day one so I hope the tune settles down.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Just loaded the initial tune and did a short 5-8 miles drive. Initial impression is the transmission needs to settle in...badly.:LOL:

    With the Thermal exhaust you do not need to lower it. Just loosen the heat shields, don't remove them and work around them. After the first drive get back under and remove the extra grease that spread out from the bushings.

    Shops typically don't let it drain long enough as time is money in that building.

    Ours come with 6.5, that is what I measured coming out of the factory fill. With a filter change 6.5 back in gets it to between the hash and the dot after 10 minutes of wait after running.

    I'll add, IMO, it is important to try and mitigate risk with supporting mods when tuning with items like a larger intercooler, colder plugs and even an oil with a higher HTHS viscosity.

    Transmission fluid change required for tune?

    I think its a must have even on a bone stock vehicle.

    Transmission fluid change required for tune?

    Don't forget the intercooler.

    Depends how to treat it and how often you use the additional power. Typically plugs, engine/tranny/diff mounts/bushings will wear faster for example. Install supporting mods (Intercooler, colder plugs, diff brace) and limit launching the vehicle and you can expect a good life out of it. IMO...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Two hours first time with care meaning taking the time to re-strap the harness after necessary zip tie removal for example, might shed 30 minutes next go around. For a plug job not the funnest because of the amount of stuff in the way.

    How about the shift schedule and over all tranny behavior besides shift firmness?
