I was thinking the same thing, in fact, I'm wondering why did they find it necessary to have a Roush tune . And also, does that mean some Stallions have more hp than others? This Roush tune thing is not making very much sense. There should be a VIN# on the engine block, I'm going to look for it eventho it may be almost impossible to see it.

guys some tuning had to be done for the drive train package to work in the stallion. there is a large weight difference between a ford 4 x 4 ranger and the stallion.
by the way for those who dont know the transmission is from the 4 x 4 with the tail shaft being chaged to a custom tail for the length of the drive line to work.
tuning would be required for the shifting points to be changed at the very least. tbms probably had the orginal tune setup by rousch and then just flashed that program into the ecm during production. coding could of been added that prohibited re flashing.
one might try one of those modules that plug into the obd11 port that allows modifing the information coming out of the ecm to change performance.
There aren't any VIN numbers on engines...There are serial numbers...The Vehicle Identification Number is on the body/frame of the Vehicle to tell you the date of production the color of the body type of transmission and engine size [One of the # in the vin will tell you which engine you should have] and a few other bits of pertinent info..........All those Numbers on a vin plate are a non secret code...
hello
I want to add 2 cents worth. Tbms sends a bunch of pcm's to roush with this spec , our application for use ford 2.3l 4x4 w/automatic transmission, so rousch looks up tune info for ford truck, they have worked with this vehicle before. they tune the engine for a 4x4 truck with some up grades for more hp. now all stallions have the same tune up which is shown in dyno first run, dyno operator buys license to up grade ford products, some have internet access up dates according to vin number. ok flash system remove all data or only some, set data into pcm, start and run vehicle set up what you want for specs(dyno run)
at this point you can play with tune, I have it just right now. flash system store data in pcm. now that you have license you can always tweak it later. if need be, second run dyno shows good results. as for the product Richard showed, these products return the original tune up specs as was flashed into memory to begin with. they help repair system but will not change tune up. probably did not explain this very well either.

okey:
289 miles for breakfast this morning. Temperatures averaged from a low of 34 to a high of 58. The first tank going up and down the hills (small hills for us is up and down to 4000 feet) and around the twisties averaged 28.9mpg over 211 miles. The second fill up averaged 37.9 with the cruise on and set at 72mph for 78 miles with just little ups and downs. I'm happy. Rick
Hmm, I wish Arizona wasn't so far away.
Can you give us the contact number and shop name?

Keith is the person that did the tune. He used to be the owner, but sold the shop. He will come in and do Fords if you make arrangements through the shop.
I am having trouble getting to speak with Keith about tuning, I've called his number for about 3 weeks now but no answer. The new shop owner gave me his number which I only talked to him once since then but can't get him anymore. Has anyone else tried?
The best way to get a hold of him is to text him. He doesn't answer the phone unless your number is on his client list and comes up with a name on his phone. He does go to Mexico fishing quite a bit. Rick
