Just picked up my Raptor a week or so ago and like I assume many do, I'm planning all the things i want to do. I've already gone through and made a few changes with FORScan and looking to add a 5star tune. My question is, does putting a tune on the truck affect any of the things FORScan changes, or is there a certain order to install. Im not sure what questions to ask because i"m not sure how or if they impact one another, but wanted to make sure before I brick my truck on accident some how.

For reference, the values I've made changes to in FORScan have been on the following modules:
PDM
BCM
FCIM
IPC
DDM
DSP

I have made numerous FORScan changes and frequently float between several tunes with zero issues. As far as 5 Star, I will give them credit for their customer service and trying to get a tune that worked, but after numerous attempts, I never got anything that even came close to stock. It may have been due to the particular tuner they had helping me, but I wasted a bunch of money with them. I have had great success with MPT, so I would recommend giving them a try first.

I have heard the same story about 5 Star from other members and also great reviews from members as well. I have 2 of their tunes on my tuner along with zero issues.

I run a GearHeads Auto Octane with the trans tune and could not be happier with it and their customer service even on a Saturday was excellent!

My suggestion would be to talk to the vendor ahead of time about your concerns before you make your purchase, it can't hurt

Yeah, i had 5star and was really pleased with it, but ive got a buddy who had nothing but issues. The guy at goose tunes hit me up on another thread, so im going to chat with him. from what i can find on the forum, folks really like him. so i might try him out depending on how our conversation goes.
