SCT #3015 Ford Tuner/programmer

wow this cool for some reason i thought it would be hard to get a tune for mine since they dont have them out of the box really but having a shop write one isnt really that expensive.
also, if you get a tune on a programer and tune your truck to the new program, you can set it to factory tune again right?

You can. Like the tuner I have can hold 3 tunes, factory, and 2 custom ones. If you ever decide to go back to stock, you can load the factory tune back on it. It is a very simple thing. I thought it was going to be a difficult thing but it is plug, 2-3 clicks and done! I was amazed at the whole thing dude! The tunes written for me were 75.00 and I only have one custom tune. If you decide to buy one from Franchi, I'll hook you up with the shop that did mine

 

oh sweet! yea if i do ill let you know, if they just email the tune i guess i dont have to be near you lol theres not alot of shops close by/that i know are good.

 

I know what you mean. The shop I used emailed it to me and it only took 3 days. I was very impressed by it all!

 

wow thats nice! i did some research and for say a performance tune on my 4 cyl i would probably only see a 5-10 hp gain tops..
but that aside, would a performance tune on say 91 octane get same or better mileage than stock?

 

I'm not too sure on that, I know it is specific to the octane they write in so it could be. I didnt see a big difference in HP or MPG's but I can tell you the engine runs and sounds smoother since.

 

yea i guess ill have to see, if its not much gain really idk..

 

I dont think you should look at it that way as far as gaining. Think of it as fine tuning the engine, plus you have a code reader for check engine light diagnoses

 

yea i guess, too bad you couldnt get a nice hp gain though, idk if i could justify it but ill mull it over

 

Shoot Franchi a PM, I think he could give you more specifics than I can, he knows alot about them

 

ok thanks man

 

Replied to all pm's, thanks guys!

 

Sorry, just saw this. It really depends on which diesel you get. Like a SCT 3015 will work on the Ranger ( with a custom tune ) and a diesel ( not both at once, only one at a time as once you use it to custom tune a car, it becomes vin locked to that particular vehicle until you restore the stock tune back to it ) and should work on most diesels except the 08 to 2010 6.4 if I recall as they have completely different programming.

But the majority of the most popular 6.0 and 7.3 it would work on as well.

Let me know any questions, thanks!

 

Awesome news! Ill keep that in mind
