Post your 2.7L Bronco Ford Performance Calibration Tune review

[NmfB]

You do not need to have it plugged in - Unless you like seeing the info the module provides. Otherwise, run the tune and throw it in your glove box.

Thanks.

Howdy, has anyone seen any improvements with 4low and the odd shifts? Mine is stock, but I notice that sometimes when tranny shifts from 3rd to second the rpm goes nuts and lurches the vehicle forward. Other times in 4 high I approach a steeper hill and give it gas and it’s a dog because the tranny is in a higher gear. Not sure if the tune will improve shifting points and make transition smoother?

Hello Guys…

Why does it say it only works on US/Canada cars? My bronco is from Mexican market, could it work as well?

No I did it myself. There are a few steps but it’s super easy if you’re reasonably tech savvy.
You create an account with Ford Performance.

Then log in, put in your voucher code and that lets you download the Procal 4. Plug in tuner to USB port and let it update.

Take the tuner to your Bronco, plug into OBD2 port. It will let you back up your factory tune.

Back to your computer, plug in tuner and it will upload your tune to Ford. Once that’s done you’ll get a pop up prompt to log into your Ford Performance account with name password and voucher ID. Once you put that in, your performance calibration will download to the tuner.

Back to your Bronco. Plug in, key on but don’t start engine. You’ll load tune. Be aware you’ll get a bunch of lights and dings then silence. Nothing at all for like 3-5 minutes. Everything goes dark except time of day on dash. If not for progress bar on tuner you wouldn’t know anything is happening.

after 3-5 minutes the download is complete and it’ll wake up and say key off for 3 seconds. You’re done.

Super easy and no reason to pay Ford unless you’re uncomfortable with tech stuff. I’m a computer guy in real life so I might be a bit biased but seemed very straightforward to me.

Sounds simple enough for a guy like me who still rocks a flip phone.

How about making changes not related to the actual tune. I'll be changing tires size, gear ratio, FAD delete, etc. Are all those abilities to change already loaded on the tuner, or do you need to make those changes on the computer each time and download to the tuner prior to install? Is there a fairly easy menu that has all the possible changes you can make that are not part of the initial tune?

Any updates on when it will be CARB legal in California? Would it be possible to have it installed in a different state to keep the warranty? @LethalPerformance

 

[2fast4u]

Any updates on this for California?

DITTO!

Seems odd that CARB approved for 2021 yet not for 22/23? Is anyone working on this?

Any updates on this for California?

Nothing new yet. I will reach out today for an update and reply once I get a response.

What are folks paying to have it installed (outside of purchase)?

And this, go back many months and vendors were saying its weeks away. Ford Performance will tell you no date. Nobody has a clue.

What’s confirmed is this straight from the CA ARB:

If you plan on upgrading the air intake, exhaust, and maybe intercooler on the Bronco, should you wait to run this tune, or no reason to wait as tune is unaware of the upgrades?

No need to wait. Those upgrades will enhance the tune. I had some things, and added others after I did my tune. All combine makes for a very fun drive.
