Areas We Address
Ever feel you don’t have all the Torque that your 6.7L should have come with from Ford? And your not interested buying a new 6.7L just in hopes to have a little more? Or maybe your 6.7L seems a little Sluggish? We can help! We have taken the same 5 Star approach with the 6.7L Diesel as we have done with other vehicles in the past. Our emissions compliant tuning goals for the 6.7L have been really simple, focus on good safe reliable power , good drive ability and finally maintain or increase efficiency. We also practice what we preach at 5 Star using our own 6.7L diesel working our calibrations in the Real World. Taking this approach ensures that your tuned 6.7L diesel provides you a long service life . NOTE: We only do emissions compliant tuning here at 5 Star.
NON Tow/Haul mode = We have noticed that while in normal everyday mode that the transmission will move into 6 gear really quickly around town with speeds as low as 30-38 mph this really lugs the engine and when trying to accelerate there is a pretty good delay to either downshift or accelerate. We can correct this by moving some shift strategies patterns around in 5th and 6th gears while maintaining good fuel efficiency.
Tow/Haul mode = We have noticed that while towing larger heavier loads that while in tow/haul mode 4th, 5th and 6th gears come on a little too early during the up-shift lugging the engine and creating an earlier downshift to follow. Another small issue in stock form we have found is while decelerating while towing that the 6th, 5th and 4th gears will not command – downshift soon enough to bring RPMs back up thus leaving engine braking a little un-used. Our tune /map will be more aggressive with downshifting.
Where do I find my ECU Strategy Code?
If using an SCT or Bully Dog Device: On your device under vehicle information, you will find your ECU Strategy Code. An example of an ECU Strategy Code is PKRK0R2.
Note: If your vehicle is a 2015+ we will also need your ECU SWPN (HL3A-14C204-BPH). For diesel applications we will also need your TCU Strategy (TPCL0HH) and TCU SWPN (HL3A-14C337-HH) in addition to your ECU Strategy and ECU SWPN.
If using an HP nGauge: Plug your nGauge into the OBD2 port the vehicle you intend to tune. Use the menu on your device to select TUNING, then proceed to select the PCM type and choose READ VEHICLE. Upon selecting “read” you will see a variety of vehicle options. Select your application vehicle such as: “2017 F150 Ecoboost 3.5L GTDI V6: PCM + TCM” “TC-277A 4M+TCM.”
If using an Diablo inTune or Trinity: For Diablo InTune & Trinity devices please follow the steps included with your device to acquire your stock upload file and last tune written file. The stock file will end in .frg and .grg and will include your needed vehicle information.
5 Star Calibrations will have all the enhancements completed in Engine and Transmission functions. This includes Drive By Wire, Fuel, Shifting, and Torque Converter strategies. These calibrations can increase economy the trick is staying off the go pedal.
