any luck tuning the 2009 F150?

[bgrd351]

I was just wondering if you have tuned any 2009 F150 5.4 6sp auto 4x4's yet. It seems no one really wants to do anything with these yet.

Hey Guys, have tuned several of them already with good results, I can get rid of that falling on the face feeling after the 1-2 shift.

If you need a tuner, you can order our standard custom SCT X3 with 3 programs for $399 here:

Or if you have an X3 made in the last 6 months or so it will support the 09 F150s and you can just order tunes here:

I think your X3 is too old, the first part of the serial number shows the manufacture date, and you need one made in the past 6-12 months for it to work on an 09+ F150. I don't know the exact cutoff date.

The 09 F150 uses a totally different type of processor manufactured for Ford by a different company.
