Let me just give an example of what's possible with an inline device. . . if you modify the MAP signal to the PCM to read 2 psi lower, then the PCM will command 2 psi more boost than normal. Since the signal is 2 psi less than actual, the PCM will never know that it's actually running 12 instead of programmed 10 psi.

 

Bingo. These computers aren't recording anyways.

 

Funny, cause DynoJet (and many others) have been doing inline devices for a while for motorcycles very successfully. Have one on my Harley for over 6 years.
Sound like Fastlane is starting the same for trucks. Great idea to be able to remove when you want, like dealership visits...

 

Do you have any idea how much digging ford would have to do to detect if you ran a tune? It's not as simple as hooking up a diagnostic reader. Please tell me in detail how a PCM records data from a tune?

 

I am happy the power the EB puts out the way it came from the factory, if I wasn't I wouldn't have bought it. I would have gone to a bigger truck, to much electronics on the
new f150 for me to change It's performance, and can't see a need to. My son put a chip and made some other changes on his diesel, 1 ton, and has had it a while, but I believe the changes caused him an early blown head gasket, at the tune of $10,000 dollars at the Chevy dealer, they remove the cab to change it, he opted to change it him self, kept from removing the cab, took him 40 hours, he since removed the chip, so you might gain some horse power but in the long run is it worth it, especially on some of these newer trucks, especially with smog rules in Calif. my two cents.

 

Wait for the sct tool,tunes are done

 

If you "return to stock" with a tuner prior to a dealer visit can they still detect it was tuned?

 

No, unless you murdered the install and left a lot of physical evidence but you still deny everything, a good piggy back in this market is light years ahead of the s#%#*y flashes available, I may check out the fastlane stuff we need some good data on it.

 

Nope, that was truck Trend. I have the issue.

 

Had to chime in. 1st the eb is not a tt port injection engine it is a hi presure direct injection into the cumbustion chamber. 2nd as to tracking ecm flashes it definatly does count and record reflash info including if it was done by ford or after mkt. 3rd as to milage my 2011 eb scab with 3.15 gears has lifetime average over 15000 miles of 20.8 mpg and this includes several hundred miles towing a car trailer at about 6000 lbs I couldnt ask for better performance or economy
