Best gauge setup for LMS tuner
Thanks for the kind words! There's not a complete list of gauges and all their formats unfortunately since the gauges are continuously being improved and updated and different vehicles have different working PIDs. But you can normally just thumb through them and see what works best for that...- Livernois

Best gauge setup for LMS tuner
Welcome to the Forum from the crew at Livernois Motorsports! Thanks for your order as well. The gauge layout really depends on what all you are looking to monitor. You can look at coolant / engine temps, boost, o2 sensors, knock, Lambda, you name it. All the Mycal gauges are displayed in...- Livernois

What did you do to your 5th Gen?
That's an impressive improvement over the factory times for sure. Tuning alone really wakes these 3.5s up , just wish there was more available for them. That's not a bad next step after the usual bolt ons though. You have to love that feeling when your 3.5L N/A is running nearly Ecoboost...- Livernois

Thanks for reaching out! You are correct, unfortunately the 1990s to early 2000s model years are not supported by most handheld programmers due to the different processor types Ford used on the early OBD 2 systems.

Transmission Issues?
Once you install a tune / flash the vehicle it usually takes a good week or so to fully adapt to the changes made and to relearn how you drive again. It wipes the memory fro the transmission's adaptive learning curve and has to start over with a blank slate. So it usually starts out shifting a...- Livernois

I would have to agree the tune is the #1 mod to these explorer sports. Just off a tune you can pick up 60+awhp. Then adding intake and more importantly 3 bar map sensor for higher rpm performance.

Explorer Sport newbie
Hey congrats on the vehicle. Only tip I can give you is to use high octane fuel because it is a direct injection motor. Back of intake valves get build up so higher octane will burn a little cleaner and ofcourse give more power and more mpg- Livernois

Livernois tune questions
Well anytime you upload a new tune to vehicle it does reset the adaptives. So you should take it easy for the first little bit of driving and sometimes can take up to a week for full reset. Let me know what happens and if you have any questions or concerns please reach back out to us. Thanks- Livernois

Well I can tell you the known issues are back of intake valves get build up so make sure to run premium gas. Also if you track it make sure you let good cool down time between runs don't keep hot lapping. Also turbo's can go out at that mileage as well. But besides that these are good power for...- Livernois
