I was actually really close to getting theirs (Livernoise) and realized 5 star is like 2 or less hours from me...plus I travel to SC for work. As far as a company, Livernoise works WAY closer with Ford, so that intrigues me a lot. Decisions...

Where are you at?

You are just a little closer than me then. I've had buddies that used 5 Star though and they speak highly of it.

Yeah I've never actually heard anything bad about them tbh. It's a hard thing to judge really, which tune is better, without side-by-side testing. I hear nothing but great stuff about 5 star, but know for a fact Ford trusts livernoise with more than any other company (they literally work with Ford performance to help tune).

Placed my order with 5* yesterday for my 2022 Tremor. Used there tunes on my now sold 2013 F150 ecoboost from day one. No issues at all.

they must be pretty backlogged on tuners, pre order was Nov shipping, then Dec then Jan

I placed mine the day they put them on the website and still not shipped lol

The 3.5 in sport mode is very good. Why mess with something that works well. I'll trust Ford engineers.

Escape Hatch · Dec 30, 2022

Does 5 star tune for each drive mode or just a flat tune and you lose your drive modes? If it is the latter I'm good with OEM.

Still have your drive modes towing mode improved shifting, slippery etc all remain just get another 75-100 hp/tq across the board and better shifting more boost early etc

Didn't see the warranty detail on their site. Does it just cover transmission issues of Ford denys it?

FaKtor34 · Dec 31, 2022

You have a crappy dealership if they deny a claim because of a tune, to truly deny it they would have to call in an engineer to prove the tune caused the problem, then if it was truly found to be at fault they would have to put out a service bulletin to warn others of the issue. Otherwise they open themselves up to a lawsuit from both the individual and the company that did the tune.

Was the install difficult?

Not at all, longest part is the initial backing up of the stock firmware which is about 10-15 minutes, once that’s done it’s about a 5 minute job
