    Updated MPT Tune after Ford PCM Update - WOW!

    I created this thread to share info on the update tunes, pcm update and MPT service. Unfortunately this like many threads here has gone drastically downhill as the result of someone being a *****. Embarrassing that I have to unsubscribe from my own thread. So fragile egos feel good...

    Updated MPT Tune after Ford PCM Update - WOW!

    Don’t let it get to you. I read it the same way you did and it’s the reason I’m in and out of this forum for long periods. Your previous comments were well stated and thought out.

    Updated MPT Tune after Ford PCM Update - WOW!

    Never been able to load the 93 (west coast) but on the 91prx I have noticed firm shifting for the first day or so then smoothing out. The updated tune from the PCM update was super smooth right out of the box. I rarely run the truck in Sport mode. I don’t like the hanging shifts that are part...

    Updated MPT Tune after Ford PCM Update - WOW!

    Answering a couple ?’s here. I have the nGauge - it’s all that was available at the time and don’t know the differences between the two. I put the tune in, disconnect the nGauge and remove it. No gauges present otherwise although you can mount if you want live info. I don’t. I have the 91prx /...

    Updated MPT Tune after Ford PCM Update - WOW!

    I ripped the tag off my bed mattress too. I’m a rebel! I’m not a warranty expert but my understanding is it CAN void your warranty. A couple of caveats. The presence of the tune would have to be reasonably a contributor to the failure. Example a broken sunroof clip couldn’t be attributed to a...

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    I always reload my "stock file" prior to dropping it off at the dealer for fear of a tune discovery. Not sure if this is necessary but it makes me feel good. Based on the PCM update they will apply during the fix you will need to update your tunes. To do this they will have you download your...

    Updated MPT Tune after Ford PCM Update - WOW!

    I have been rolling the MPT tune since 9/2018 on my 2017. I have been incredibly happy with the tune. Had a leaky oil pan and went back to stock for a week or so prior to going in for service - hated it. Stock the truck is lethargic, shifting logic silly (not sure why I should be in 10th gear...

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    36,5xx Cam Phaser Failure. Sounded like a diesel for 3 seconds or so when sitting for a day or more. Video'd for my dealer. Showed them the video - immediately they said phaser failure. Went in the next day, 5 days later truck is back. They said they put in the "updated" phasers, replaced...

    Best Hard Tonneau Cover

    We have one that fits it. Same as others it’s a newer one thats equipment will stop if it senses a problem with width. It does really well. The rubber flexible hoses at the end that dry make slight contact on the right fender flares but otherwise it’s been flawless. Even with the rear rack with...

    Best Hard Tonneau Cover

    Different one that hasn’t been mentioned is the Pace Edwards Brand. I live in Oregon so deal with rain/snow. Downside is its pricey and takes up room in the front of bed for cover roll. Upside is drain tubes built into cover and they do a fantastic job. Stays totally dry even through car wash...

    GEN 2 Rolling start, floor it, and it falls on its face

    I have an MPT tune and have experienced something similar but it may be different. If I am coming from a stop, hit the gas normal, let off and quickly reapply the gas more firmly it falls on its face. example. 4 way stop- my turn to go, someone else starts to proceed too so I let off the gas...
