I never did any Gen 4's either. Let me know when you get to playing with it. I have HP Tuners, I would just feel more comfortable with a pcm and standalone harness test before I do my actual truck lol. You hate the LS so much you got two fords? Lol. I still have one Gen 3 LS, aluminum 5.3 with 243 heads. Big cam, big stall, and soon to be a lot more boost. It's in my '85 SWB C10. We'll see what she does. Blew a $8k fully built 408.... So gonna play with junk yard motors for now.

Huh? Hate Ls' s? Um... lemme see... i never liked the 07 up trucks... and the 6.2 always underwhelmed me as L92 heads aren't good truck torque makers..... the L92 head 6 liter in the 3/4 tons is even worse....Now the direct injected LT in the new ones... they can keep them too... However..

Yep... i hate Ls engines.

Once I build a second shop on my new place I will keep collecting 03 to 07 GMT800'S because I like them.... and maybe another 6.2 F150 or two...

I'm not scared to tune a truck as is. I will do my FX4 first... it's not my daily so I really don't care if I screw it up.

Going back to the original question, our 2012 F150 Ecoboost has seen a lot since we picked up new and it's still on the original engine and trans with no issues.

Have you heard of someone doing damage to an f150 with just a tune on a stock truck?

I've heard of completely stock trucks having issues, it's a numbers game. There are millions of trucks built and a certain % will fail. A properly built tune should not cause any additional damage on the engine. Now on the other hand, a poorly built tune can definitely increase the likelihood of damage but that is why you can't compare a tune to another tune. They are not equal, tuning software allows the person building the tune to do whatever they want.
