Just received a new 2 door wildtrak and only have about 300 miles on it thus far. Been going easy on it keeping rpm low as possible but not nearly as responsive as the 2.3 I had for a loaner with same mileage. I realize there is breakin time but hoping I didn’t make a mistake by going with 2.7 vs 2.3. Regardless my question is I want to do a tune through Ford to keep my warranty and I’d like to use my points on my Ford rewards app. Can somebody tell me how to do this? I can’t see how to do it through the app so should I just go through the dealership and tell them I have points to apply towards it? Thanks

Could carry this with you…

I had not even thought about that... Hmmmmm.. Maybe on my list to do now..

Not really interested in the HP or torque improvements ( little more torque would do for off-road) but I am more interested in the trans shifting adjustments and the tire calibration. Since I went to 35.11.5x17's my speedo is off and shifting of the auto trans also feels off and not as smooth as it was stock.

The octane booster is expensive though..

Yeah it’s not really about one improvement. My favorite part is the throttle response. But like you said the calibration along with shifting, a bit more boost, diagnostic ability, and auto stop start suppression make it a real bargain IMO.
You’re right about the octane booster part, but that’s only needed when you can’t find 91 or higher. Nothing is without a cost. I have always run 93 in mine which includes a Cobb intercooler, 3” cat back exhaust, and one step cooler plugs for more of insurance against detonation. Mine runs great.

The problem for me is there are only 2 gas stations in the entire city where I am currently living that have 93 octane. Both are clear on the other side of the city.

I used this tool, maybe there is something better to find stations with 93?

There are a lot of stations here that have 91. Looking into the Tune a bit more, a lot are saying you really need to run 93 to get the benefits from it. They say 91 is okay to use, but 93 is preferred.. I've read where some are even saying running anything under 91 could cause engine damage and cause the anti-knock sensors to kick in.

I'll def look into it some more but I really do not want to put another $25 worth of octane boost in with every tank when 91 is not readily available.. A lot of the places I go to camp and 4 wheel are out in the sticks with small gas stations that will not have the higher octane.

Heading to the closest National Forest to me, I do not recall ever seeing anything over 87 for the last 120 miles of the trip to it.. That's 120 miles each direction (getting there and leaving) plus whatever 4 wheeling fuel I'd use. I'd need more than a few cans of octane booster to be safe, even more if I wanted to hit 93 octane.

A 32oz bottle of Torco is $26 so if all I can find out in the sticks is 87, I'd need the entire can for each full tank just to get up to 91. From what I've read thus far, 91 is okay but 93 is preferred. To reach 93 octane, I'd need 2ea 32oz cans which = an extra $50 per tank..

Anyone here running the Tune with 91 and 91 only?
