When you find a company that will actually setup a tune according to your exact vehicle by verifying the sticker number on your computer, you have found a company that does not sell "canned" tunes.

That is why I contacted Mike at 5 Star Tuning and went with the X3. Programmed specifically for my vehicle with my requested data.

Mike at 5 Star Tuning operates a business based on a great product and exceptional customer service, which you have to admit is very much lacking out there.

It's a win-win! You will NOT regret it!

I was wondering If my RV would be better with 5 star than my banks tuner.

I sold my SuperChips Cortex on Ebay....it made my transmission shift like it was clueless of what the engine was doing.

Hi Guys
So far only 2 hard requests.. need 3 more...

PCM codes

2005-2009 YM located in engine bay on passenger side firewall.. more than likely you will have to slide pcm out to get code.

1999-2004 YM located just behind parking brake on drivers side. Will have to slide black case off to see code.

See here for more pics at bottom of page.
Got a V10 Ford F250/350/450/550?

Do all pcm codes start with vk/vm. I was looking for the one on my 5.4 f150 but can't find that code. I found that is S66FF

I'm very interested, but with my 05 V10 and 114K on the clock, is it wise to consider adding a tuner?

thanks
