Ok so I just got my tunes this morning. It's been raining all day and I've been like a kid on Christmas eve waiting to open up presents in the morning. Needless it say it stopped raining but the roads are still wet. I went ahead and loaded up the 93 Hot lol and found a big empty parking lot.. All I can say is HOLY ****!!!! Throttle response is instantaneous, you barely touch it and the tires want to spin out from underneath you. Boost is instantaneous, no lag.. If there is any I can't notice it. I'll have to wait until the sun comes out and dries up the roads before I get to test more but I'm throughly impressed so far..

Little back ground, I've been with LMS for since the begging of them tuning the ecoboost. I'm on my second F150 eco, the first being a 2011 and the current a 2013, both tuned with LMS. I don't post here much but I read a ton.

Shawn1145....3 posts? Yeah you definitely don't post much lol. Sounds like you're having fun. I've been LMS tuned since the beginning too. My Socal tunes are in the mail. Hopefully I have the same reaction you did.

Don't think me a fan boy bro. And don't get me wrong, I love my LMS tunes. But I think they might have some catching up to do now. Wish Rick was still there.

Anybody have a walk through with pictures of loading up the tunes?
When I went to load my tunes on my truck I was following the directions and after the couple of times it said to turn key off, then back on. I lost power which I have even told now is normal while the ECM reboots, anyways I freaked out and unplugged the device. Which wiped my ECM. It got reprogrammed at the dealer and I sent my device to sct to get unlocked. But I am scree now to try it again

I'm with y'all, been with LMS since I got the truck. Tuner should be here today or tomorrow, really looking forward to seeing how badass these tunes are!

If this is you, you have been told several times how to do it. If you will not let the tune load, there is nothing anyone can do to help you. It is very simple to do. How would unplugging the tuner as soon as it starts to load the tune help fix anything you thought it was doing? https://www.f150forum.com/f38/instal...ed-out-220049/

I have been used to my older models and diesels. Never had the popping noise am power shut off, so I'm trying to save my ***

When I hear a pop an loose all power in the dash and the tuner says key needs to be on when it IS on I freaked out.
Yes I have asked and asked and been told numerous of times it's normal. But it still freaked me out

It does say the key should be on, then after a few seconds it starts loading. Dont be scared of it, just let it do its thing. It does the popping and all the power goes out, so when it does just sit there and wait till the power comes back on an follow thru with what the tuner says afetr that.

^^^To add, when the power does come back on the dash gauges will go crazy and flicker. I think it does 2 cycles. IT IS NORMAL
Also make sure everything is off....radio, ac, don't open your door, don't roll up your window, and youll be ok

I sure will,

on another note,

who has the level 5?

Once i get the tuner back from sct i can finally try the regular 87 performance, then the 4A, and then i can try the 5.
whats the differances between them all?
