    Warranty denial?

    Just like it was 20 years ago, same rule applies today. If the tune was cause of the problem, the warranty will not cover the problem. Only difference is they're able to trace things easier now than before, people used to remove the tune just in case if it was the tune that caused it. Ford can...

    Explorer top selling three row SUV

    Not too familiar with Mazda's engines other than the Speed3's and their infamous "Zoom Zoom Boom" But I think the CX9 and 8 look pretty nice and are very popular with reviewers.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Not trying to be that dude but that was talked a page or two back as well as previous pages before. Short answer is, if they find the tune liable for a problem, they will not cover a dime. If its NOT tune related, warranty will fix whatever the issue is. No different than any tune. The adv...

    Explorer top selling three row SUV

    IMO, all the recent Genesis GV70/80, G80, etc have been looking great with good optional power! Too bad their service dept is still crappy and nowhere near the customer service that American/German luxury brings

    2020 Platinum owner from FL

    It actually is just the tune. 2022+ Platinums/KR's come with the same power as the ST's. Even then for 20/21 Platinum, far as I know nobody has actually dyno'd a Platinum. So not sure how much power is it really down by, if any.

    I wonder if this also affects the 2020 models

    Ford Performance Tune

    Only issue I can see with the FP warranty, if there's an issue with the powertrain past the 36k warranty BUT in between the powertrain warranty, Ford will 100% know you had/have the FP tune and more than likely deny it for bogus reason. I have seen a post of someone going thru an issue with the...

    Anyone dyno'd or done more tests with the FP Tune?

    Ford Performance Tune

    Oh there will be ways of getting tunes just not as easy nor directly from the MFG. Will also not be cheap and will probably need a spare PCM. As much as I like the JB4, I wouldnt exactly call them "tunes". Still, had a great experience with them on my BMW, Terry was always on top of things.

    Oh im sure he reads what everyone posts, goes back to unhide comments. The fact that he is posting those smirk comments says everything. Anyways, good to hear the FP tune came out stronger than anticipated. Too bad its probably the last or one of the last one's considering Ford is going the...

    ZFG gives you the best bang for the money if you're out of the original 3/36 and even then, it can be debatable. But its your SUV, your money.

    From my understanding, once you are past the 3/36 and into ext warranty and have a failure that can be traced to the tune, they could deny the warranty. FP does not provide any coverage after 3/36. This has been the same with previous FP tunes on different vehicles. However, just like any...

    Ford Performance Tune

    Looks like to me it got more than the adv. power. Oh but wait, according to @twin001 it shouldn't be trusted because of the graphs LOL Faster than a Durango SRT. This is how the ST should've come off the dealer new. Looks to be making close to the 5 star tuning power

    Auto octane, and how to choose what's right for you!

    Thanks, I did see that area. Was just a bit curious since I have seen first hand with a stock semi-new EB F-150 that actually got a CEL. Culprit ended up being bad gas according to the dealer, not sure how bad or shitty it was. But was wondering if going WOT with bad gas on a tune, would it...

    Auto octane, and how to choose what's right for you!

    @ZFGracing Question regarding the 91 only tune, well to all specific gas tunes only. If for some reason you get a bad batch of gas of 91/93 or shitty in general, would do the car detonate even if its the appropriate octane? Or will it auto adjust its timings to a safe side?

    As others have said, you can go to ASE/red seal tech, no need to go to the dealer. This is to keep the "warranty' intact.
