Sweet truck man! Seems like everybody does the .50 cal bullet antenna (I got it too). I went mostly AFE with my truck. 1. AFE- Throttle body spacer 2. AFE- Cold air intake 3. AFE- Y pipes w/o cats 4. AFE- Atlas 4" exhaust & 5. Turbosmart- Blow off valve I'm looking to getting an oil catch can, ugraded intercooler, and tune the truck. It's already a different beast compared to stock but I want this truck to be at its best. Let me know about any other upgrades you do.

What some people fail to realize...decreasing line pressures and letting the gears slip with the tolerance allowed by ford and most manufacturers to make transmissions "shift smoothly" is why transmissions dont last long anymore. If anything...a performance tune that makes the line pressures increase and the trans gears lock in more aggressive...all of that is actually helping to increase the life of the transmission.

[@rafaelfavela77]

I was just thinking the other day when my 10 speed goes from 1 to 3 under light acceleration it's so mushy and feels almost like it's slipping into gear. I was just thinking that can't be good for it lol

Thank you for knowing and understanding how aftermarket parts may or may not affect your warranty. I get in these conversations with people that just assume that an aftermarket part voids their entire warranty for the whole vehicle for any issue what so ever. And that’s just not true. Good info. Thanks

[@jamescollins9794]

Get in good with your dealer. It doesn’t matter if it’s tuned or not. It’s up to the dealer if they except to do the warranty work. All manufactures ask for on major “warranty claims”. Is pictures of the damage and info on vehicle. It’s up to the dealer to tell the manufacture if it’s been tuned or not. A dealership can re flash your ecu. They can work around almost anything the manufacturer wants to know via phone or email.

[@kevinbreese5739]

My Omega flex tune on my 2018 5.0 makes the truck shift nice, not too aggressive and better than stock which seemed to often not know what gear it was supposed to be in. Now if I put it in SPORT mode, then the shifting gets very firm and abrupt as you state, but in regular mode it's a nicer daily driver. All depends on your tuner..they can adjust it however you want it to be.

My 2020 F150 came with 20's, and it's the one thing about the truck that I definitely don't care for. Can't wait to downsize to 17s with 285/r17 tires. I know larger wheels are kind of thing these days, but when it comes to trucks, less wheel and more tire is definitely my preference.

[@Powerstroke98]

When talking fuel mileage, I would imagine the lift & tires make a difference. Mine is stock/OEM, and I'm between 17 - 18 on my '16 Ecoboost. Love the look of the lift, but will stay with my 20" OEM Sport rims & BFG KO tires. Wouldn't mind a tuner (nothing wicked) for some more HP, but mainly to give me even better fuel mileage on 87 gas. I drive my truck for fuel mileage, and was a solid 23 on a road trip over the summer that I was on, so...pleased with that. My truck has the option with the 36 gallon fuel tank, so here in Canada...I was at the 3/4 full mark, and it took $75.00 to top it off. I'm now at 137K miles, and it's running just great! Only parts needed since new, was an exhaust manifold, back when it was still on warranty! I take very good care of the truck, sticking to the maintenance schedule, using full synthetic oil, changes at 5K, and a recent transmission fluid change. Loving the truck, and just realized....I have CarPlay! That's kind of cool, after seeing a video on the options available with specific packages these trucks came with!

[@sergeysmelnik]

Pedal commander doesn't get rid of any lag. It just makes your throttle pedal more sensitive just like putting it in sport mode.

[@thatoneguy454c]

If you get your work done through the Ford Performance Center at a dealership or an accepted shop it will not void your warranty. I was a Salesman at a Ford dealership for a while and we did this all the time for customers. We had one guy pick up a 5.0 F150 and get a full Roush stage 3 set up installed by our Performance Center. That truck was making close to 900 horsepower and the transmission couldn't handle it, so when it gave up on him a month later it was completely taken care of for him. Obviously if you go to your tuning shop down the street from your house they probably will not be Ford certified to do that work so you are correct on that.

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

At least you uave 93 octane. Here in cali we have e85 though and there is a station 100 yards from my work with e85. Its tempting since the 3.5 EB is a beast on corn juice... Nice vids and nice truck. Keep it up!!!

[@KickinItWithQ]

Christopher Rea thank Bro glad you like the content man. Yea I heard the 3.5 is a beast in E. Maybe cheaper too than getting a tune

[@stevenfikes9693]

Actually, brother....the tuning will NOT void the warranty. There were lawsuits against it.

[@B0bBau3r]

You have to buy the right tune. I’m tuned with OZ tuning. I can run 87/89/93 or E85 at any point. I can mix octanes an everything. It’s an expensive tune but worth every penny.

[@pulsefiend]

did it clear up any sloppy shifts?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Good points, but with many new tuners you can simply reflash back to a stock tune before bringing the truck in for a recall at the dealership etc... So it doesn't necessarily void your warranty, you just can't go to the dealer with the tuner/tune installed lol

[@KickinItWithQ]

Eliminator Performance hey man Precitae you watching yes true, but the ecu will or can show that there was changes made if Ford really wants to look into it. That’s why I mentioned “ways to hide it” but it’s still a risk. I was mainly coming from standpoint of if you blow your engine while it was tuned. Precitae you watching!

[@kl90210]

FYI- if your shifts are abrupt with the tune, you did not get a good tune. there is plenty of logic in the tuning parameters of TCU to moderate shift firmness based on engine load. most tuner shops do not know how to properly tune the TCU with the ECU. I have no problems with shift abruptness during normal driving and with high performance tune. Additionally, if you are not putting your foot in the the throttle and in normal drive mode, normal driving, your performance tune should not be using any more fuel than a stock tune. learn a bit about EFI tuning and tuning maps, and you will understand why. this is not the golden old days of carb vehicles and linear fuel delivery. BTW nice looking F150.

[@GetsumJ]

I would have to disagree, depending on the tune you use. Mercedes lost this battle in 2009 when they tried that and ending up paying. Where I agree is that tuning an Eco-boost is problematic due to the cam sensors and the direct-inject pre-fire issues they have. Get the Coyote, at 200k your bottom end will be bulletproof whereas the Eco will need a total new rotating assembly.

[@KickinItWithQ]

Precitae the information boss! Yes definitely will depend on the tuner you go with. Precitae you watching

I agree, Echo boost engines really should be left alone. Not that there over complex but they are and not mechanically but the balance they have between Fuel economy, Drivability, and longevity.

I think hes saying with the extra design and components already added to the ecoboost twin turbo engine, adding new components is risky. Probably better to replace old parts with new ones for that engine style.

[@bendeco]

This is a great video and I was able to catch this video before I made my decision. This video made me go to the shop that was going to perform my tune and have a long conversation with them at which point I did decide to go with the tune but it was not an aggressive tune that would stress the transmission and the torque and everything about my truck that I didn't want to press. The nice thing about tuning your truck is you can level out areas of your engine that the factory doesn't have correct when the truck leaves the assembly line and you lift it and slap big'o'tires on it...such as top end fuel richness, throttle response etc. What I wouldn't go to AZ was advised by a pro shop was buying out-of-the-box tuner and plug and play a tune. With Plug and Play Tunes you are doing things to areas of your engine and transmission and environment that you may not necessarily need to do based on your driving condition. That can also ultimately shorten the life of various parts of your truck. But a professional tune can cost just as much as a plug and play with a little bit of labor on top and you're going to have someone who's seasoned make sure that per your driving condition you have a nicely running truck that shifts well and not rough. This is just a great video thank you very much

Q - a good tuner will stand behind their work with a warranty. Whipple even offers a 3 year/ 60,000 mile power train warranty, that is good at any ASE shop, so now you’re not stuck with the parts swappers that pass as mechanics at the Ford dealer. Also, for brakes, I put the Wilwood kit on my truck and there better not be anyone tailgating you if you hit the brakes. It makes enough of a difference that even when you drive much smaller vehicles you have to get used to hitting the brakes much harder.

I tuned my F-150 6 months after purchasing it, it has the 2.7 ecoboost engine. No regrets from me. I used an SCT X4 tuner. My first tune was from Unleashed tuning, a 93 octane performance tune. Nothing bad to say about it but I got tired of spending so much money on the high octane gas. I've been discovered an auto octane tune from Gearhead tuning. The tune adjust according to the octane of the fuel that's in the tank. As far as all out power, yes the Unleashed 93 octane tune is better. But for overall drivability I prefer the Gearhead tune.

miketr732 it depends. If ford can prove the tuned caused the issue then it will void warranty. Now if you AC stops working or window won’t roll down that you should be covered.

Its just like adding exhaust, cold air intake, lift kits, wheels and tires if modifying a car or truck would void the warranty all of those would void the warranty. Bigger tires add more strain to the transmission it also adds more strain to the motor just like the extra weight from a lift kit, it all adds extra wear on parts on the truck. So if a tune will void the warranty as you say then so will the lift kit and everything else and if that was the case dealers wouldnt be selling cars and trucks that are brand new with aftermarket lifts, exhaust, intakes because they would have no warranty as soon as you sign the paperwork.

I had an edge tuner in my last f150, so I bought the CTS2 and put in the one I have now. It gave me all kinds of transmission problems so I got rid of it and bought a Tune from OZtuning. Now I can use E85 which is approximately 105 octane, cheaper than 87 octane and the truck is very aggressive. I have went back to 87 octane and the tune takes care of all that; I do nothing.

[@KickinItWithQ]

4o5919 Yea another guy told me the same. E85 is a lot of performance gain and cheaper than running 93 or 87

[@roberth912]

Which tune messed up your truck?

[@pulsefiend]

Im looking at the oz tune for my 2019 5.0 as I got some funky shifts around 3-4 and 5-6 hoping it will fix this?

[@talonraph6524]

Love that color on that truck.

[@KickinItWithQ]

Thanks man! 💪🏾

[@permashock8068]

I love that model....what year (and trim package) is that truck. She’s mean!!

[@KickinItWithQ]

Its a 2015 xlt 4x4 Sport edition. So everything it color matched (bumpers etc)

[@permashock8068]

KickinItWithQ yeah that’s sick homey!

[@KevinGomezP]

KickinItWithQ mines a 2016 XLT FX4 package with the 5.0 tuned as well 😂 and gas is pricey 😂

😂. Lol it’s hard to keep your foot out of it with the tune lol.

Sweet looking truck!

[@KickinItWithQ]

Thanks man! I appreciate that!

[@EcoBoost27]

1st what programmer do you have?, 2nd who's your tuner?, Stopping will you do have big Tires and rims.

[@KickinItWithQ]

Yo! I have the SCT X4 programmer. I’m running More Power Tuning 93PRX Tune. The company is also just know as MPT. Yep bigger tires and rims makes it harder for me to slow down. If you are stock, won’t have an issue.

[@thomasmarquez6790]

I have a Ford IDS computer that I bought from Ford the same computer the dealer uses. I can hide it by updating the computer calibration. So I'm good! lol! I use E85 performance tune which will give you what you want out of it. E85 is 110 octane and the tune will let you know that. Night and day difference. I'm a Ford and ASE certified tech and make my own adjustments with the SCT SX4 tuner.

[@KickinItWithQ]

Oh that’s cool man! I hear e85 is huge difference

[@loverjoeyable]

Yeah bro, I’m agree with you 100% . I bought Twice F-150, first one I bought 2015 XL Sport Package two door with 6,5 bed, 2.7 L, flexible fuel 2X2 wheels drive that trick is powerful but I never did anything to it, is all original from the factory the way it’s. However I just traded three weeks ago with 2019 F-150 XLT FX4 off-road super crew shorted bed 5,5 but got nicer and bigger rim and matched the color of the truck, pretty nice looking truck. Did I thinking in future to lift or upgrade anything to it such a performance? The answer is no, this truck is fast and powerful and quite, beside as you said, you’re absolutely right about factory warranty and who knows what’s going wrong might happen after you messed around with it. Yeah like yours is pretty damn good looking truck with lift on it, and big tires, but I heard such rubbing and road notice came from the tires is something I worried about, the tire is fat and big enough from Michelin, I’m happy with it. Thanks for the advice bro!

[@TheMoldyOne]

Before I even watch Tune = Transmission blowing up. Then warranty. Blown transmission with no warranty = don't do it. If you're going to tune have a lot of money wait for the warranty to expire, then build the transmission for max power.

[@brycea0225]

I run a 5star tune on my 18 5.0. A lot more than $500 but they back it with a warranty. For ~$1200 I have one fast ass truck that I don’t have to worry about

[@TheZmoney420]

Something you probably don’t think about is your brake fluid has most likely deteriorated and does not perform nearly as well as new. That’s why any performance vehicle’s brakes have a 1 yr fluid flush usually across the board on that one. Just like 10k on an engine oil service, cant expect that oil to hold up like new would.

[@mmateri]

my 2013 f-150 was tuned by diablosport. I put a window on both sides of the engine block at 43.000kms. I was warrantied for a brand new crate engine.

1. Buy the 5.0 Coyote V8. 2. Use Hypertech, and only tune for adjusting your speedo/trans tor new tire size and gear ratio change. 3. If you want to go fast, buy a sports car, not a truck.

[@KickinItWithQ]

But it’s fun to go fast in trucks 😂

[@rstscott]

Best advice so far

[@walterhartmann4830]

My 91/93 tunes gave me better milage once i stopped smashing the pedal all the time. Now an ethanol tune is really going to kill your milage. Its not horrible if im not in it all the time but you cant help it. E85 is currently .80 cheaper a gallon than premium here so its not too bad.

[@JifferRiffic]

Not sure if you know this but ethanol is dirty as f. I have a oil separator (catch can) and I fill up after one fill of e85. No power half the distance. I'll never put that in my truck again
