I have access to an OBD2 scanner that can display the strategy code. If I provide that code at the time I purchase the unit can it be programmed and ready to install when I receive it?( Fred R, 02/01/2020 )
Yes, just leave that information in the comments and we can pre-load the device with your custom tune file.
I have noticed engine ping when accelerating and when towing. I have increased the octane to 89 with slight improvement but the ping continues. Will the investment in UPTuning my 2017 Ford 6.8 V10 stop the ping and allow me to use 87 octane?( Ronald R Francoeur, 01/02/2020 )
If you are pinging with everything stock, there is an issue that needs to be addressed. With the custom tuning, the spark is further advanced and would just exacerbate the issue. I would try cleaning or replacing the mass air flow sensor first.
I am a full-timer and have a 2019 Newmar Canyon Star 3924 (a gasser).
Why buy your product versus, say, the 5 Star device?
I will be now be towing a 2019 2-door Wrangler Sport A (JL) behind me since I just had a tow system installed. Will it matter if I sometimes do not tow my Wrangler on some trips? In other words, is your device custom programmed for always towing the Wrangler or is towing the Wrangler a moot point? Thanks.( Karl, 12/30/2019 )
We tune each vehicle individually while 5 Star uses a "canned" tune that is pre-loaded to the device so that they can tune multiple vehicles without having to do each tune manually. The result is less work for them, but the gains are not as good. We tune for optimized performance, whether you are towing or not. If you wanted something "tweaked" later on, such as a certain shift point, we can make those corrections and update you for free.

Hello, Im sorry to say that California deems this product as illegal in that state. I assume you would have a hard time finding someone to install it for you. Feel free to call us if you have any more questions.

I have a 2019 Thor Miramar F-53 V10 and wanted to know if I use the UPFORD Ultra RV Tune will it void the warranty?( Joey Sineno, 11/12/2019 )
No it will not. First of all, when you tune your vehicle the, SCT Tuner
stores the stock file onto the device. When you are going to go in for
Warranty work, you can return the computer to stock settings. The SCT
tuner, unlike other brands, leaves absolutely no footprint in the PCM
history. In order to deny any warranty repair the dealership has to
prove without a doubt that the Programmer was the cause of the damage.
We can thank the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act for this.
If you are overly concerned with this topic, talk to your dealer. Ultimately they are the ones that will make the decision.
