FRPP tune no more?

[DIB5.0]

Read this on another forum

I was told by my dealer I needed to get a tune in order to remove a couple of drivability issues I did not care for, although they are inherent on the 5.0L. When I went back last week I talked more about the tune and the dealer said they stopped installing tunes from the dealership due to the TSB. They were using FRPP tune and I was told the issue was that the tune was leaning the car out at idle, which in turn leaned it out across the RPM range. This made the car sound better at idle and offered better performance across the whole RPM range. The lean condition was what is believed to be causing the issue. Again this according to a trusted dealer. I dont know how the other tuners are mapping their tunes.

So ford can't even create a safe aftermarket tune, I find that hard to believe but it would be very shitty if that is true.

I don't find that hard to believe. Its the first year for the engine, and its already been pushed stock, they just don't know how far they can go.

Sounds an awful lot like the 6.0L powerstrokes.

Actually, the motor has been out since 2007.

And the 6.0s were in service long before they were put in the superdutys, and Ford retuned them for more power and had a hard time keeping them from roasting themselves.

It doesn't matter if its been out since 2007, Ford obviously doesn't know exactly how to tune it safely if they are pulling their own tunes. They pushed it in order to compete in the market and they still need to learn its capabilities.
