Calibrations Available from 5 Star

[Mike Wolfe]

Will do
Probably be later this week due to some prior commitments

Anybody dyno the truck before and after the mods or is HP and torque just a guess?

 

[Garrett]

Is 5 Star the only place you can do this?

 

[Mike Wolfe]

The stats quoted for hp & torque are from 5 star & their dyno tests
5 Star is the only calibration house that currently offers software for the 2018 EXPY
My previous four ford ECO Boost vehicles were recalibrated with Livernois software but they currently do not offer it for 2018 EXPY
Should have my software in 2-3 days
Ordered 3 calibrations
93 octane performance/tow
91 octane performance/tow
89 octane performance/tow
Disable A.S.S.
Plan to load 93 octane calibration first & will probably never use the other 2
Notice I use "CALIBRATION" software instead of "TUNE"
I think the "TUNE" terminology sounds hokey for something so sophisticated

Not sure their tune is out yet...

Should have my software in 2-3 days

What's the holdup? Seems like a long time for you to get the email files from 5Star? Been a week????

Just ordered the calibrator Thursday of last week
Received it Saturday
My wife & I had Dr's appt's Monday & Tuesday
Downloaded the stock file from our EXPY late yesterday & emailed it to them
Checked to verify that they had received it this morning (they have)
2-3 days for them to create the calibrations I requested after receipt of my stock calibration file
Probably have it by the end of the week
Livernois does not have calibrations available for2018 EXPY yet
I have checked with them on several occasions asking for it
But for some reason they have yet to offer it
BTW
Always had to send stock calibration information to Livernois as well before they emailed me the software

I have been dealing with 5 Star for the past month now, there is a delay on the calibrations for now. I've been speaking with Jacob and they are currently waiting for HP Tuners to resolve software issues that are preventing them from calibrating the transmission. They can send out files for now that only affect the motor but it would be pretty useless without having the transmission tuned to work with it. They told me they were hoping to have this resolved shortly, I can post back later when I finally get the files from them.

Interesting
Sent them my stock files yesterday
They told me I would have the files in a couple of days when I called this morning?????
I guess I will find out soon

I've got to ask then, have they tested this on an actual 2018 Expedition? Maybe they have done direct tuning and are having problems getting the tune through third party hardware...
