BCB Tuning Issues
Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum but not new to the ecoboost world. I have a 2017 3.5 Ecoboost and ordered the Nguage package from BCB tuning with their adaptive tunes and I have been having an issue with their performance Highlander tune. The truck is great on the tune for daily driving however when I do a WOT pull from a roll, the tuck shift fine from 1st to 2nd but at the top of the RPMS ( around 5200 to 5500 ) the truck won't shift, almost like its stuck in gear and it just hold the RPMS around 5000. Has anyone had this issue Thanks guys. |

So basically the truck won't shift to the next gear. Has anyone had this issue. I have it recorded on video and sent all this information to BCB tuning. They said they can't diagnose it and said I need to take it to a shop for further problem solving witch is a shame. So they are absolutely no help in the matter. When the tuck is back to stock everything is fine which leads me to believe its the tune. I wish BCB would step up their game and help but it looks like I will be going somewhere else in the future. Thanks guys. Man I don't know what kind of advice to give you except for I would probably buy a single tune from 5 star since you already have the device. I can pretty much guarantee you if you have any similar issues with them they will not give up until they try everything in their power to make it right. I also have a feeling you won't have that issue with them |
I wonder if this has more to do with N-Guage?
It's sure not common problem with BCB tuning. Definitely not in my experience. KM |

Wow that's pretty crazy they said they can't do anything, kinda rediculous they didn't even try.

I think I logged 219,500 on Livelink. |

I kinda had the same issue with them when I was seeing my wastegates go to 100% duty cycle on there highlander tune. I sent them a log, he sent over one revision, then just said its fine even though it was still doing it. I was a little weary of my turbos running at max wastegate.

Damn!
Thats when I asked him to take a look. I got the one revision, was not getting any more CEL, but it will was going to 100% WGDC so no idea what was changed. |
If you look into Ford f150 stuck turbo wastegate
Similar problems listed, referencing stuck waste-gates and TSB's. One post shows a video duplicating the OP's description fairly close. KM |

I was hitting 38-39 on the BCB tune while my other tunes were stopping at ~36-37 and only running 50% WGDC. My ambient pressure is 20% less so my turbos flow 20% less. |

,sounds like you diagnosed your situation thoroughly. But as far as the OP it may still apply. Stuck wastegates are an acnowledged problem. I can say that I've had no trouble with the BCB tune on my 2.7, but the highest point in WI is only 1200 feet. KM |
did you also have the benefit of going to their shop?
