FASS pump on my 6.0... What a POS. Ending up going back to the stock system.

If anything, there will be some minor cosmetic updates to the front end/grille. Also, I’m curious to see if they add the B&O stereo option and improved adaptive cruise with stop/go and pedestrian detection. Those got added to the 18 F150, so it would make sense if the Super Duty was next.

I think the stock turbine exducer is 63mm. The stock turbine is a unique design that allows it to be more efficient than you would expect. I had one of the early 64mm Street Max turbos on my 2012, and I remember discussing the stock turbine in great deal with Morgan. He did a ton of testing...

Has anyone with a 17-18 wrecked an engine due to the crank gear spinning with Patriot tunes? The majority of the feedback out there on Patriot’s 17-18 stuff seems to be great., I’d just like a little more background on the trucks that have had engine issues and if anyone with a 17-18 has run...

Well, this certainly makes me skeptical about Patriot’s tunes. It’s a shame because there’s a lot of good feedback out there, and the promise of OST for our trucks is pretty damn cool. Has anyone heard of a crank gear failure on a 2017?

I'm really curious about the trucks that have spun the crank gear. Is this issue isolated to 15-16 trucks, or do the 2017's potentially have the same weakness? I think Ford changed the crank for 2015 model year, but I'm not sure if it was changed again for 2017. Is it a 2015+...

I haven't heard anything about spun bearings, but I know there were a couple 15-16 guys that spun the crank gear. Supposedly, the transmission shifting was so firm that the engine RPM would drop so suddenly the rotating mass of the engine would overcome the crank gear's tension, and it would...

Any more updates/feedback from people running Patriot tunes?

What kind of boost and EGT are you seeing out of the 600 file?

Just curious, how are you guys monitoring EGT’s with the Patriot devices? Is there a provision to use a factory EGT probe?

Hey Mike, Any news on this? Thanks!

That was definitely a bad transmission from the factory lol. Truck was bone stock at the time. After that got handled, my transmission was well over 100k and still going strong when I sold the truck. I’ve also heard the rumor that they added a couple clutches to the 2017 transmission, but I...

I messaged GDP yesterday, and they told me about two more weeks. I know it's just an estimate, and the release ultimately depends on EZ Lynk, but I think it's getting very close. (We can hope lol.) Stock vs. stock, I think the 2017 shifts a little more crisp than my 2012 did, but trans. #1 on...

I suppose I had a little ball busting coming for that. I tend to overthink/over explain things. Bottom line: I do want to modify the truck, but I want to make sure the tuning itself and the tuning device are up to par before I do it. I would like to hear more from the people running tuned...

Yeah, I suppose you have a point about only hearing the negative feedback on social media. Social media is a plague lol. In all seriousness, my reservations towards the new product are a result of my so-so experience with my Mini Maxx on my last truck. I used to work as a Ford tech, so I'm very...

Thanks Mike. I’d definitely like to remove all the “unnecessary” stuff from my truck, but I want to make sure I’m happy with the end result. Don’t want to mod a 78k truck just to find out the tuning leaves a lot to be desired. I have zero intentions of doing any hard part mods to this one...

Thanks for chiming in, Mike. I guess I’m just skeptical of the product right now. I absolutely love the way the new truck runs, but I’d like to ditch all the garbage underneath. All I want is a reasonable bump in power and some firmer transmission shifting to match. I just want to do the mods...

I’m not a tuner, and I don’t know the first thing about what it takes to write the firmware to support ECM/TCM flashes. That being said, I’m still a little disappointed EZ Lynk hasn’t been able to get the TCM flash figured out. Patriot had it on the Nguage months ago, so I thought it would be...

What are everyone’s thoughts on using LE 5W40 on a stock truck with all emissions intact? I really want to use this oil in my 17, but I can’t justify the added cost if I have to dump it every 5k. My truck still has the emissions parts, and I don’t know if extending the oil change interval is a...

Am I the only one that thinks the interior isn't that good looking?
