Phoenix Tuner for rent?!

Cooling Fan Strategy update


Some of us in the hotter areas are already hearing our cooling fans run at 100%...like an F-16 taking off.....see post at

So-called "Cooling Fan Strategy Update" stinks - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans [/URL]

In that thread you can see the 2011 vs. 2013 Cooling Strategy Table compared

As the Op on that thread, I would like to have someone in the Phoenix area PM me if you would be willing to use your tuner to modify just the fan strategy to the old 2011 one or tell me of a shop that has a tuner that could do the mod....


There are those that think spinning them faster almost all of the time improves the cooling but, as a 2011 owner for two years in Phoenix heat, the old strategy worked just fine even on 110 + degree days and did not have all the irritating noise to deal with.


PM me if you are in Phoenix and are willing to help me do this one update.....thanks!!!!

*unless things have changed*

As a general rule, a "tune" can only be used on one vehicle at a time.

IIRC, when you download the "tune" the tuner records the VIN and can only be used to remove the "tune" from that vehicle.

Then it would be possible to tune another.

There are hardly any shops that actually custom tune the Ecoboost. It's pretty much a market for mail order hand-held devices. But you're lucky, you have a real tuner next door.

Called Full-Race and sadly they do NOT do tuning on EB or any other units. Can anyone tell me which hand-held tuners will change the strategy table....may have to invest in one but do not want to get one that does not do what I REALLY want to change....

What the heck?! See post #502, second to last paragraph.

Maybe call back and specifically ask for Geoff.
