I have not came across many on here and seeing as how I am on the fence about the whole DPF delete/warrenty issue thing (chicken) may be a better term. I was wondering if there were any really bad tuner melt down stories out there..specifically on the LMM's. Good stories accepted as well LOL.

I was just about to order up, had the cart loaded talked to Nick and was about to push pay pal when a co worker came in and asked what I was getting. I told him EFI live and a pipe for towing and mileage. That is when he told me a story abut this guy we know paying 13K for a used ford motor after running a tuner

I do not want that to me be.

Thanks
Phil

fords always break..if you dont tow on a high tune. u will nto have a problem. as long as you dont floor it everywhere and break your tranny you will be fine

FORD, fixed on repairs daily...

like kyle said, dont run too big of a tune and you wont worry about hurting your tranny.

don't beat her and she will treat you well!

LOL I thought I was gona get at least one pussy comment

Dont worry man, the LMMs are doing great. Make sure to run a reputable tuner though just to be safe.

Maybe the 6.0, but the 7.3 and 6.4 are damn good engines.

My truck has 28K miles of hard driving and I have run every DPF delete tuner available. I haven't had any issues and I haven't had any reports of any. The only issues I have ever encountered where with the PPE Hot+2 Race.

im very aware of that. there the only ones ive yet to look down on. specially with respectable tuning, there hard to beat.

hey meyers do you know anything about the sct sf3 3100 if it is a good programmer or not, I just ordered one but i have not got it in yet?

 

[Meyerperformance]

SCT has awesome tuning for the Ford. I have not done much with the GM and SCT first hand. But I feel comfortable telling you it's going to be a good unit.

 

[RedBowTies88]

x2 with nicks tuning you wont go wrong,


the only problems ive seen are people (rarely) cracking pistons, usually on big PPE tunes

 

[jclevinger]

Thanks alot man! that eases my mind, I just didnt want anything real aggresive and smoke my tranny, mostly bought it to boost my MPG's

 

[jclevinger]

red, that shouldnt be the prob with the sf3 i wouldnt think it only has a gain of about 105hp and 215 ftlb on max tune! pretty mild !!!

 

[Phild101]

Well from what I have been reading and been told a 90HP tune should not hurt the LMM, I think I may pull a bit more with the truck stock this summer May and June, I only pulled September and October a bit last year. If nothing happnes I will wait for the Edge CTS to come out as a stand alone and then do the EFI live.

Thanks for the input guys.

Meyer I will give you the run down on it after I get it installed.

You will be very happy with that combination, especially Nick's tunes.

Sounds good, I appreciate it.

 

[jclevinger]

Phil, i think you and I r in the same mind set. I think we will be alright as long as we keep our foot out of the firewall! in my younger days I was like a crack head when it came to power, I was always jonesen for a lil more!!!

 

[Phild101]

Well I have learned all about modding and more modding with my Honda rincon, they will not take a DGL, 28" outlaws, lift kit, jet kit , 12:1 JE piston, low grind cam and a CDI tuner while pushing out a grizzley in 3 feet of mud and water. They tend to drop the tranny which is in part the engine which = $3500 LOL.

But I do not think I will rank on my truck like I do my toys.
