Yellowknife Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi Folks, I'm considering the 93 tune and was wondering if there are any concerns with extreme cold impacting the tune. Living in Northern Canada and the temps dip into the -40 C range during winter. First winter with the truck, no issues with stock at those temps. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have had zero issues running a tune in the cold weather. I live in the Chicagoland area, where temperatures, during the Winter months, routinely dip into the single digits (Fahrenheit) or even below zero at times. I also have the lower temp, 170 thermostat installed as well, & yes, I still get heat through the vents. Hope that's of some help to you. :noidea: Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrylu Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Steve has tested the tune in the Canadian ultra cold. I think he proved beyond a doubt there is no cold temp issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowknife Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 So much for the no trouble in stock format...My truck was towed to the dealer a week ago because it would not start. Turns out the factory remote start flooded it at -35 degrees C. They changed the oil and plugs and it started, they've spent the remainder of 4 days trying to fix a grinding noise while switching from 2wd to 4 high. fixed that now it "roars while in 2wd...they are throwing parts at it currently with no fix. Truck has 8800 km on it, a little disappointing. As for the cold start issue I'm told there's no block heater just an intake heater and Ford recognizes that's a problem here in the North...lol Your thoughts?

Yellowknife Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 After two sets of IWE's the dealer is now going to replace the transfer case and see if that stops the grinding while engaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I run a Livernois 87 Perf Tune for the winter here in Quebec ( -25C) with no problem. In the summer depending what I am doing, I run 87 Towing or 93 Perf when I go drag racing. With 93 perf the truck is super fast. My best so far is 13.54 secs at 102.71MPH. It is a 2012 Scab 2WD, a 3.55 electronic axle and Roadmaster Active suspension to eliminate axle wrap. It ran 13.87 at 93 MPH stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
