Default Tips for tuning

Hey guys, I'm installing a livernois tune on my 2015 3.5EB this week. Beyond excited to see how it drives after tuning! I've never installed a tune before so I thought I'd reach out and ask for tips from those who have tuned their trucks. One thing I've heard is never tow with a performance tune because it can cause damage to the transmission. If there are other things like that I'd really like to know! Thanks in advance.

I had my 2012 3.5 Ecoboost tuned.. ran a canned tune from edge and I would run the Level 3 92 octain tune... called edge and they said it was fine to tow.. the truck would be safe withing the manufacture rating... not sure about Livernois

I have also read if you are reverting to stock before a dealer visit, do so and put a few hundred miles vs. doing so in the dealer parking lot.

Livernois specifically states not to tow with their performance only tune.

Thanks for the info guys! Is it safe to run a 93 performance tune with no other mods to the truck?

Yes it is. I ran a 93 performance on my 5.0 for 20,000 miles before I did any other mods
