    Smoke and low power - turbo replacement

    Sorry to hear of this. We've had customers that replaced their own turbos at home in the garage, but we've also had people try to tackle it at home and end up bringing their vehicle in for service. So it really depends on the person and their mechanical experience. Be sure to check your oil...

    Livernois tune experience

    No you do not need to buy them once you pay the vehicle transfer fee. Once that is done all the calibrations for that vehicle are free and you can change them at any time with no fee. You pay $150 that is it nothing else

    Livernois tune experience

    If you have our old tuner that is the little grey box with the green screen then yes you are correct. That tuner we give you a $200 trade in credit to the Mycalibrator touch. If you have the Mycal touch you are good to go no need to trade in.

    Livernois tune experience

    Hey everyone, sorry we've been away for so long, however I will be monitoring this site now. So to answer a few questions that I have seen come up....We do lock our device, no doubt, we don't want people to be able to get in and get our software. A couple things that set us a part from some of...

    SPEED LIMITER

    You are very welcome, happy to help out and my apologies for the delayed response. I was just speaking with the calibrators a bit further on this and they have confirmed that is something we could support for remote tuning. However we've found it's best to stick with the stock throttlebody on...

    SPEED LIMITER

    Thanks for sending over your request! The colder thermostats and downpipes are two items that would benefit from updated tunes to take those mods into account. These vehicles are speed density based and do not have a traditional MAF sensor like a 5.0L would to require any adjustments for a...

    Tuner for Towing

    You are very welcome, happy to help out! All of our Mycalibrator tuners include unlimited lifetime tuning and support free of charge so long as you own the device. So there wouldn't be any additional charge for the tunes once you purchase our devices. The new Mycal touch tuners also have...

    SPEED LIMITER

    Actually I have just double checked that and the N/A Explorer tuners were actually on sale already for $549 before this $100 off promotion began. So we're actually offering an additional $100 off currently on the naturally aspirated 3.5L - 3.7L Explorer / PIU models which takes them down to...

    Tuner for Towing

    We could definitely help you out with some towing tunes for your Explorer via our Mycalibrator handheld tuning device. The tuners are sent out blank and then you use the device to save a stock calibration read uploading that to us online using the Mycal app. From there you'd send an email to...

    SPEED LIMITER

    The PIU models still have speed limits / RPM safeties in place like most all vehicles on the road today. However being a police model they have higher speed limits than the standard models since they are often used to pursue suspects. We do offer custom tuning for the PIU models as well and...

    Is it possible to recalibrate the Explorer transmission to the same settings as the PIU transmission?

    Thanks for the shoutout! Our tuning for the transmission areas of the calibration improve the shift points, shift firmness, raises rev limits, reduces torque management and more. These changes alone can help to drastically improve performance and drivability as well. Then combined with the...

    how would one start modifying?

    Yes I agree those Saleen Explorers are very sharp! As others have mentioned with over 300k miles on the engine I wouldn't suggest adding a significant amount of additional horsepower without re-building the current engine or installing an upgraded engine while you are there. We do offer some...

    What happened to my 2017 Explorer Sport??? (Turbo and Engine issues)

    No problem , happy to help out. Yeah I agree that's pretty coincidental if you weren't having any issues like that until after having repairs done. Definitely never hurts to get a second opinion on things like that especially in that type of scenario.

    What happened to my 2017 Explorer Sport??? (Turbo and Engine issues)

    Welcome to the forum from the crew at Livernois Motorsports. Sorry to hear of the issues you've been experiencing. Turbos have been known to become somewhat problematic after the 100k+ range and the catalytic converter failures / turbo failures can go hand in hand. A turbo fails it can take a...

    Drag Strip, Actual Numbers

    Thanks for sharing, that sounds like you had a fun trip to the dragstrip! Unfortunately a lot of the drag strips are still not fully open yet to see more customers time slips to compare yet. But definitely look like some great passes , especially for your first two trips down the track with it...

    2016-2018 police suv interceptor general questions

    Our custom tuning is usually geared towards the engine and transmission areas of the vehicle. Not sure if we'd be able to tell from your stock cal read of the engine and trans anything specific to the Sync unfortunately. You could always check out that link Peterk9 posted or also check with a...

    Livernois tune experience

    Thank you very much for the kind words guys! Glad to hear everyone's been enjoying the tunes and our service as well. They definitely leave quite a bit of performance on the table , that is for sure. Makes custom tuning even more beneficial though! :)

    Cylinder head replacement.

    Typically the cylinder heads themselves will physically bolt up on an Explorer 4.6L. But some modifications may be required to complete the installation depending on the rest of the accessories, timing cover and things of that nature to make everything 100% match up correctly. We've never...

    Why I’m NOT running E85 in my 2020 Explorer ST

    Why I’m NOT running E85 in my 2020 Explorer ST

    We've found like any EcoBoost vehicle that the Explorer ST's will run best on the higher octane fuels and Ford also suggest using premium right in their owners manuals as well. 87 octane is the bare minimum you can use with out risking engine damage or void warranties. The ECU targets 93 and...

    Aeroforce Boost Gauge - Will it work on the Sport?

    Guys, Aeroforce does make some great products if all you are looking to do is add gauges. Also wanted to mention for those of you who may be considering adding a tune also that our latest Mycal touch tuning devices have a gauges and datalogging feature now that is one of the areas our previous...

    New Explorer ST Owner from Kansas

    Welcome from the crew at Livernois Motorsports! Congrats on the new ST also, one of my favorite newer SUVs. Always great to see another parts guy on here. I worked for Advance auto for almost 10 years in parts sales and I've been with Livernois in sales for over 7 years , so I feel your pain...

    2016-2018 police suv interceptor general questions

    I've not had any experience with the stereo systems on them to have much input there. Usually needs a wiring harness adapter as Peter had mentioned. The reliability / longevity factor from what I've seen is on par with the usual Explorers , so the lower mileage the better as with all cars...

    Borla for the Sport

    I fully agree when done with the correct diameter piping it shouldn't have a negative impact on performance. The full turbo back exhaust including our Thunderstorm high flow catted downpipe and cat back exhaust would be the way to go in my opinion. We've not seen an noticeable loss in...

    What thermostat do I need?

    If it's stock I normally stick with the OEM thermostat temps which is normally 192-195 degree. Motorcraft is the OEM and then Motorad is a good alternative option if you are trying to save a bit of money. For performance builds we usually tune them to adjust the fans to come on earlier and...

    Thermostat Replacement Help

    That is excellent news, glad to hear it's not leaking any more. We usually run them with a spill free funnel setup that lets you fill and bleed then seal off the hole to stop from drawing in air before putting the cap back on. DIY guys that don't have those type of tools available usually just...

    Thermostat Replacement Help

    Sorry to hear you were having some difficulties but glad to hear the crew on here helped out before I saw the thread. Once you get it back together with the seal against the housing and do not see any leaks, it's usually good to go once you bleed the cooling system to eliminate any trapped air...

    Best gauge setup for LMS tuner

    Thanks for your suggestions, I will be sure to pass that along to the software engineers. I agree the color coded stuff would be great too, but I'm not sure that any handheld programmers on the market's gauges are quite that in depth.
