Did the price of the tuning device increase, recently? Maybe I am being a moron, but I swore it was lower a week or so ago....
Anyone having trouble getting the car to shift from first to second in manual mode at the red line? I did this today and when it hit the red line it bogged down, held first for 2-3 seconds all while dumping black smoke out the tail pipes. Any ideas?
sounds like your hitting the rev limiter, and its doing what its suppose to do
lots of good info here
Do not run these vehicles in manual mode. Just put it in drive and let it do it's thing.I would think that if it was holding the gear, but it's not holding the gear; it is not engaging second quick enough at the red line. On the stock tune, it would just up shift, as does the 93DD tune I'm on now just with this bog and delay. And it only bogs and delays if I run first out to red, if I short shift everything runs fine.
More data came in tonight though: she threw a P0172 and P0175 this evening after a highway run on cruise control at a modest 71mph. Any idea if these events are related and anything I should look for?
For mods, all I've done is the tune, blow-off-to-atmosphere, and drop-in K&N air filter.

Is there any lead time on these Ken?

Myself and the SHO guys have hundreds it not thousands of passes combined and none of us run in manual mode.
I read this thread from front to back and it is great and packed with wonderful info. My Sport should be here end of this month from Ford and can't wait to order this tune. I do have a few questions that I did not see the answer to.
How do I get the tune into the vehicle, do I need to use a laptop or something?
I see alot of guys with other mods as well as tune and 1/4 mile times. What should a bone stock Sport run with just the DD tune, average time? 14.50's?
Anyone happen to know?
The "tune" is loaded with a piece of hardware that flashes the stock ECM to the new parameters, it's included with the Lund or LMS tunes.

Ok, thanks
How about 1/4 mile times for a stock Explorer with just the DD tune?
Hi Ken,
Are you going to be doing a towing specific tune as well?
