Wow, I've never seen F150 colors like the ones you guys are showing.

Am I in the fiat forum?

I couldn't agree more. I love these forums for the information and comraderie for our trucks, but the pissing contests that get started for no real reason are tiring.

Tuners don't cause the failures - could be either that right foot or could be a defective part from the factory build.
Either way, a tough to deal with situation.
Hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

You must not be on it enough. 820 at 183 is the worst connection in the metroplex.

You are in the dfw 16XLT?

If you don't think a poorly written cal is capable of ruining an engine call any mail order tuning company and have them bump the global spark add table by 10 degrees and give it a try.

The calibration tables on these new vehicles continue to get more and more sophisticated to the point that there are only a few companies left who truly understand how to properly manipulate them. Most of them use a back-door approach and turn off or modify the engine protection features in their quest for marketing a hp increase.

Powdered metal connecting rods don't like detonation; boosted applications are especially sensitive - too much boost or spark can result in hardware failure quite easily.

Choose your tuner wisely or risk suffering the consequences....

Is everyone missing the part where I said I am running STOCK tune. Jesuuuuuuuuus!!!! I know what my sig says, but that's not what I am running or was running when this happened.

lol i actually saw that. i thought about tuning and decided against it. my question is how long did u run the tune? and why switch back to stock. as far as the blown motor, it can happen to any of us, stock or tuned. i would like to know what failed also.

now if i win the lottery i would do the livernois block and tune with the full race freakoboost kits

I ran it for a couple of months. And returned to stock cuz I was gonna go w bigger tires and lift kit but I never got it done. And then I parked the truck for couple of months till I got the ambient lighting done and upgraded the speakers.
I actually was looking on fordparts website. The whole engine assembly is around $5500. I was thinking about ordering one and giving it to my shop and redo everything,upgrading the turbos , internals, the whole 9 yards.
