Thanks, I was unable to log in for a bit and then kinda forgot. Just thought it would be good to check back in and let everyone know more a long term review. Everyone is always happy when things are new and everything seems reliable for 50k. But seldom do people continue to be happy. I just keep regular trans fluid changes, ptu, and oil. My wife still enjoys it so much. I ordered her a ranger raptor as a surprise. We went to get it. She drove it and said nope don’t want it. Lucky for me my dealer is great. Even refunded my down payment. 8months later she still doesn’t want a new vehicle.

Ok so I’ve been absent for a while but had live get in the way along with a few new builds. Anyway. My first vehicle I had them turn was my 15 3.5 truck. It was very well done with meth injection and downpipe. 12.6 1/4 with 3:31 rear. Truck ended up being totaled by a young driver but had 418k trouble free miles. Never used oil or any issues at all. Every single mile since it had 200 miles was tuned by lms. My wife’s 2.0 edge was tuned right after purchasing also. She currently has just over 200k on that with her never removing the e30 tune. Just simple fluid changes and general maintenance. Still very happy. I also had them build my 23 3.5 but only have 10k on that and so far so good. My 24 maverick I had them tune as soon as I got it. Currently at 50k with a lot of it being towing. very happy with all of them. So far. So if anyone is on the fence here is some real world experience that was good.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been on here but here is an update. My 3.5 got totaled by a street racer. It ended with 418k trouble free miles. My edge 2.0 currently sits with over 200k mile of e30 tuned miles. All is still good.

I know this is old but I’ve been off this forum for a bit with my new gt500 and truck project. Yes it’s 100 percent worth it. In fact my wife will not even drive the edge with anything but the e30 tune in it. It’s been tuned since I bought it by lms 93 Oct and e30 it’s been on the e30 since the second month I had it tuned. Currently has over 150k miles of the e30 tune. It’s a huge difference with the e30 tune. Even the 93 is significantly better. The ho bump is not crazy but trq is big bump.

Easy as pie. Everything bolts up in fact some guys build the 2.3 out of 2.0 blocks to get rid of the open deck. I am not one but I have my 4K miles rs engine and turbo waiting for my 2.0 to fail but it hasn’t even being tuned for over 100k

Well I know I’m let this slip for some time but I’m back. First I have run the tune on my 2.0 for just over 100k now with no issues. I’m very happy have only tuned back to stock once just to see the difference and could not get 93 oct in CO only 91. I only have stock 93 and e30. as far as performance I love it very surprising the cars you can beat. I was able to get my best of 14.16 1/4 mile but it was very hot and humid. I’m sure I could get it down if I was only at the track with my edge. It was just because I was already down with my truck. Left the car seats in and everything. I can say I’m very happy with it and plan on doing it to my maverick ASAP. Only thing I wish I would have done with my edge 2.0 was a downpipe but no one makes it for the awd. I can also say for those worried about the long term they tuned my 3.5 truck with downpipes, meth and a few other goodies and I just rolled 260k of tuned miles and not nice ones. Also ran my 2.0 edge at well over 100mhp for over 2 hours straight. Very happy with mine long term .

Yep no issue with tstat. I did mine before the tune. Did that plugs and filter before I dropped it off for dyno. I’m 3 hrs from them.

If you are already using top tier oil then you will be fine. I run an soil and after talking to the tech they still recommend 15,000 oil change as that is the shortest interval. So with that in mind I follow normal oil change and fluid service schedule. I do drive mine like a a hole most of the time. I have 3 lms tunes cars and my highest mileage tuned is just rolling 200,000 of lms tuned miles. It’s my work truck so I pull a lot of trailers also. Change oil when it says to on the dash and follow normal change for everything else and it’s been great. Have 48,000 miles most have been e30 tune on my edge and same deal need to get the trains fluid changed soon.

That is normal for the 2.0 I’ve had a few my 17 does it also. It’s the hpfp that seems to make that noise. Absolutely nothing to do with the turbo. It’s fuel system related. No worries. Glad to see they removed the cover. I run mine in the winter to help hold heat then remover it in the summer to reduce heat.

Alright guys anyone know if the 16 plus edge has the recovery hooks behind the front or rear bumpers? The 16 RS has a plate to remove for the front but the rear has the threads under the rear bumper so you have to drill it out to work. Do we have that option or any aftermarket options? To cold and snowy here to look right now.

Why go through all the hassle of trying to deal with tuners that don’t want to support it? I understand if Livernois treated you bad in the past but the tune is rock solid on my 2.0 you can actually achieve max boost from your turbo without updating any of that stuff so it’s a waste of money unless doing it for sound and if that’s the case that’s all the reason you need. I was able to max out timing and boost with e30 all stock. Now that being said I’m sure the part holding it back now is the downpipe. Most only offer it for the fwd edge and fusion. Zzp now offers for the awd fusion 2.0 but can not confirm if it will fit our edge. I’d love to get one and head back for a update.

I would have to say I’m also in the lms group. All 3 of my eco’s are down by them. My 3.5 has been running full bolt one with meth since day one. It’s at 200,000 now of very hard miles. Lots of drag strips. Street fun and towing. It’s been very solid. My edge 2.0 now has 50,000 miles o. It and I’ve been on the e30 tune for about 40,000 now. No issues at all. Even ran it for several with the cruise set at 120 while in Mexico. It’s been rock solid and easy to use my wife blend her e30 and has no issues. My Rs has very few miles but I average 6.8 mpg over the 6,000 miles it has in the tune so it’s driven hard and held up to that. Not enough miles to know long term on that one. Very simple to use and very reliable.

Bingo!

Bingo!

Mobil one is a good oil and easy to get. Not a bad choice.
