I am looking for a mod that will help off the line. I recently got the newest update for the cold mornings and thebattery light flickering. Is a short shifter a possibility. Maybe a tune I am sort of new to the forum,not sure! I have only 23000 plus change on the car and its a 2003.
What will the short shifter do for this problem because that is the one I was thinking about getting first. The tune I believe will void the warranty so that will have to wait
^^^ Yes indeed they will, I can attest to that as I have those mods, I would highly recommend those as well! I would also recommend a UDP (underdrive pulley). I installed one and I noticed a difference, I love mine! I got the Ford Racing UDP, it's the same part as the Esslinger. Happy modding!
I got the tune and I have less than 8000 miles on my car, I am not worried about warranty issues because I will just reflash it back to stock before I take it in for service.
Thats a good point you can just reflash but I will have to wait for funds. family and all you know. So what is the best mod I was thinking the short shifter to correct this problem. i ahve a birthday coming up so i have until may to figure this out.
Careful, Jaykirs, the service department CAN tell if you have done that. I believe they can find the date of the last re-flash and, if it was not done by Ford, good luck with the warranty work...
When I installed my UDP, I noticed that my car would take off from a stop better, I would try that if I were you ... and yes, that was before the tune.
