It might help if you're a little more specific about the problem you're having.

The answer is yes with installation, but not that I am aware of with operation/running it.

But that’s all we can say.

Sorry, I haven't installed a tune on my Bronco ... Yet. I'm just thinking of installing it.
I haven't found any reported major problems.
The instillation seems very simple, and I'd like to do it myself.
My Bronco is a 2023, which is now two years in my possession, having purchased it in April 2024 as a new, but stale, leftover, now has 20,000 miles on the clock.
I just don't want to install a problem.

Ah okay. I don’t think you’ll have any issues installing it. It’s pretty easy to be honest.
If you run into any problems, feel free to reach out. I’ve installed a lot of these.

Thank you for your offer to help.
My search, as far as the ProCal upgrade is concerned, is will there be any big problems, caused by the tune, which will cause those cute little dimples to appear on my hood from a blown engine, or will it burn out the turbos or transmission.
I've fried more than one juice box, and I still don't trust them.

The tune is extremely safe, not to mention it doesn’t really add that much power so it’s really not pushing anything that much harder. If something blows up, it likely would’ve without the tune also

I would note, if you are concerned and you still have a warranty, buy it direct from the Ford website when its 20% off and add in the installation from a dealer for $112. Its easy to do yourself, but for $112 it was worth the extra piece of mind because it's documented as installed by the dealer.

3 years in on 2.7 ProCal tune and 0 problems. How it should have been mapped from factory. Best thing I've done to mine to date.

I installed the ProCal4 tune on my 2024 Big Bend 2.3L MT a year ago, and have had zero problems. Best thing I ever did to the vehicle (until the gas prices went through the roof, with 93 octane Top Tier gas pushing $6 per gallon here). Gas mileage is slightly over 22MPG with Goodyear Wranger R/Ts. I purchased mine at BuckleUp Offroad and installed it myself with zero issues.

Does anyone know why 2.3 tune is not available on ford site? 2.7 and 3.0 both are.

I may be wrong, but perhaps the Ford tune is not yet available since the 2.3L MPC engine upgrade in the 2025 model (which includes port injection).

Right, but why aren’t previous versions 21-24 available? Local Ford dealer though ‘26 would be later this summer….

Only real issue anyone has had with it is getting it installed. For 99% of everyone, the hardest part is just getting your Ford Performance account logged in via the web site when you are getting the box set up. Very very rarely there will be an issue with the USB cable (easily fixable by swapping USB cables, it's a standard cable) or the ProCal box itself (requires an exchange).

The tune itself - solid. I've never heard of any issues regarding it.
