I'll find out in about a week or so. Got mine last Sunday and will be sending it back next week.

Side note: anyone else noticing significant HP and torque gains with the dongle installed? I swear my truck is much faster now...

It’s cheaper for them to get data from us than it is to rent one of these trucks for two weeks. I’m sure the $150 is nothing compared to the money they make selling their data analysis.

Lol! Definitely placebo affect, considering it’s a read only device. It would be too obvious if it was actually rewriting your ECM and changing the tuning.

Supposed to be a joke. I do like to drive fast in this truck, though. So fun to drive!

when I bought my ecoboost, I thought, “hey now I’ll get around 20mpg.” Not! I drive way too fast to get remotely close too that. It’s just so damn fun.

YEAH!


Unfortunately for all the cactus look-a-likes around here my EB has ACCELERATION that is wonderful and has reduced the number of cut-offs I have experienced lately. Truck or acceleration? I don't care because now I am testing the acceleration rather than my ABS system. Nice difference.
