Ford Performance Calibration issues for 2023 Broncos (temporary download issues with calibration)

INFORMATION
Ford Accessories / Ford Performance Parts - Bronco Calibration

ACTION REQUESTED
Please refer to the communication below in refence to the Ford Performance Parts Bronco Calibration

SUMMARY
In an effort to minimize any customer experience issues- Ford Performance Parts would like to communicate a temporary issue with the Bronco Calibrations-part #’s M-9603-B23 and M-9603-B27.

23MY Bronco vehicles are experiencing temporary download issues with the calibration, however it is still fully functional on 2021-2022MY vehicles so these will remain on sale. A solution is expected in July.

Ford Performance Parts will follow up with a communication once the issue is resolved in mid-to-late July.

glad that my MY23 installed without issue a couple of weeks ago

Good thing I haven't ordered this yet

I wonder why the issue has popped up now, I had a couple bumps but not too bad when I did mine when the 23's became eligible for the tune

Interesting, I wonder what the issue is. Glad mine worked!

Does a tune require premium gas? Thought I read somewhere it did. My 2.7 is fine as is for my use, but the possibility is interesting. Premium fuel price could be a deal breaker though...

to get the performance - yes
if you don't use premium no worries, the truck will run back to the stock power

For once I got lucky. It installed with no issues on my 23 Wildtrak.

I read a different thread here that said “no” it’s not required but what’s the point?

@flip It's mentioning download issues, and Lethal Performance is still shipping the units, do you expect it's an update from Ford on the vehicle to resolve the issue? I assume Lethal wouldn't sell a defective part, and that maybe another update from Ford caused the issue.

I just ordered one for their sale and am fine as long it works sometime in the next month or so (not in a big hurry to install).

Thanks for posting, too.

My understanding is that it's just a software issue that will be corrected sometime next month. Nothing wrong with the tool itself. As many issues as we have with FDRS, I'm shocked there haven't been more issues before now.

I bought the Pro-Cal tuner for my 23 WildTrak and have been in contact with Ford Performance for almost a month now with ongoing issues. I registered the voucher under my account at Ford Performance and followed the installation instructions to the letter. My stock programme was uploaded to Ford with no issues, but once I connected the tuner to my laptop and entered my username, password and voucher it keeps coming back with Wrong email for this voucher. When I log into Ford Performance and look at the list of activated vouchers this one doesn’t show up. When I try to add it I get a message saying Voucher has already been activated and please confirm your ID and try again. The tech at Ford Performance told me they have been having quite a number of issues with Pro-Cal recently. It worked perfectly fine when I installed one on my 22 Everglades.

Significant difference three months with and three months without. Feel it’s not worth unless you want the power for premium and diy. Dealers charge 500 for a five min flash…

When the update from Ford is available, the device will update as part of the process when you plug it into a computer (I believe step 1).

Thanks for the update!
