The battery disconnect fixes my clock too but the question is WHY??? It seems like if they know the bug exists they could fix it. Aren't they the smart guys?

That is strange. Call them. I have a similar weird problem with my 5-star tuned Transit, meaning a weird electronic bug. Any time I change my tune my clock refuses to set. I have to disconnect...

I love reading about v10 5-star tune devotees. My 25' motorhome (5-star v10) drives like a car and gets 10 mpg!!!! I rarely got this out of my 460 Sportsmobile and it wasn't nearly as fun to...

Oh yeah Bbasso, it was you I was thinking of. I bought my 5.4 tune for my last van based on your experience and loved it. My daily lately is a 3v Expedition with a 87 performance tune. Big...

Re: got 5-Star tuned from Mike today!

Sounds like a guy whose number I would keep around! There was a guy I got to know on this forum (and others) who sold his v10 van but he had a 93 octane 5 Star Tune and always ran it. He said it...

Towing IS performance towing, meaning you are tuned with shift points dramatically adjusted. Performance is just performance, more of an enhanced daily driving tune. As for the OD/tow haul questions,...

Just got an email that 5 star is having a Labor Day Sale. Don't know the details but if anyone is on the fence it may be a good time to jump.

Re: got 5-Star tuned from Mike today!

Hmmm, now I didn't even know that, and he didn't explain. My van has an OD on/off switch on the end of the shifter, not tow/haul as the newer vans and v10s have. Perhaps it is specific to that. I...

Re: got 5-Star tuned from Mike today!

Brent, sorry to hear of your troubles with this. As you stated, Mike is a solid guy, and my dealings with him have been great. I hope you get it all worked out, and if not, swap it for the regular...

Re: got 5-Star tuned from Mike today!

Brent, I'm sorry to hear it. I'd hope you can get it worked out as I gather you are a Mac guy. I am too, somewhat, and I'm wondering if there is an app you are using for the gauges etc. that you...

Re: got 5-Star tuned from Mike today!

Yes, plug in whichever tuner you buy, tune it, unplug and replug in scanguage. Scanguage will pick right back up without any resetting.

My TFT on our 5.4 varies from 175 to 200ish. I've got a...

Re: got 5-Star tuned from Mike today!

LOLOL! Yes, Jamie, my experience is that Mike will just pick right up, or at least call you right back. Heck, it may just be a one man business. I'm not sure.

Hmmm, if you guys keep buying...

no doubt Herb!
Na, I don't mind helping. Im not trying to sound like a know-it-all, I just recently did all this.
ECU/ECM code is in a different loc on some vans, but on most it is fairly large...

Performance tow is your tow tune.
Not sure about your IPad specific features though.
Your tune will not go away unless you choose to change it. Once you are tuned, you are tuned, iPad plugged in...

What Mike needs before he can tune your vehicle is a 4 or so digit code off your ecu, but It sounds like from what Brent is saying things are different with the Ipad interface. Sounds like on the...

I can give a little more info on the towing tune. I got it because i had three to choose, and when I bought this van, i had a 31' Airstream. I sold the trailer before I got the tune, but I never...

Re: got 5-Star tuned from Mike today!

I have used the towing and the 87 performance, but not the economy yet. I really wish I had gotten a 93 performance as my third tune instead of the economy, because I'm sure it's going to be pretty...

Wow, what a huge difference! I have a 5.4 and have always regretted not having bought a V-10 or diesel, but I love my van too much to do it over. I put a free flowing Spectre air filter on it awhile...
