I'll be interested to see what kind of hp/tq they can squeeze out of the second gen. Any mileage improvement would be great as well.


2018 2.7 ecoboost might severely limit 3.5 market vs the diesel option.

It seems like it...I mean is anyone buying the diesel for the torque? with the torque they are getting out of the EBs it would seem silly to pay the extra money for a diesel, then the added cost of gas too, for MAYBE a little more torque.

The EBs have managed to take on many of the advantages that diesels gave you over the years, big low torque numbers and decent mileage while towing, with little of the drawbacks....

If someone's buying the new diesel they are doing it because of gas milage....so its gotta be great in that regard. I don't think simply beating the ecodiesel with a 30mpg motor is going to cut it....I think its gotta be more

About 17 but that includes some towing.

Congrats. It should be common knowledge that anything you do to your vehicle outside the factory/dealer installing could potentially void your warranty. No more needs to be said about it.

I don't think it counts if you had your truck towed

Stick with Livernois. These guys (and their tunes) are top shelf and I speak from personal experience.

I would also suggest you go to your dealer and talk to the service manager and tell him straight up you are wanting to add the Livernois tune.

What are the consequences?
Will it void my warranty?
Parameters?

Makes life more simple.

I did this with my dealer. Unless it is obvious and beyond any doubt the "tune" caused the problem my warranty will not be voided.
