Tuning and Diagnostic Support for Ford Vehicles
As one of North America’s most popular vehicle manufacturers, it won’t surprise you that we offer the widest range of tuning and diagnostic support for Ford vehicles, especially for the Mustang lineup. From the ’99 Mustang SVT Cobra to the latest generation Mustang 5.0 and GT500, we have support for nearly every pony car on the road. Whether your Ford is powered by the EcoBoost, Coyote V8, Power Stroke Diesel, or one of their supercharged engines, we have the support you need to exceed your vehicle goals.
Our VCM Suite tuning software and MPVI3 devices give you the power to tune for more horsepower and torque, better fuel economy, or somewhere in between, and run extensive diagnostics with advanced data logging capabilities. With unique features such as an ECM-controlled transbrake for select 10R80-equipped vehicles, VCM Suite gives you new levels of access and programming capabilities for Ford applications. For qualified tuners, offer these same capabilities to your customers with RTD and Tune Delivery Network (TDN) support.

10R80 10-Speed Automatic Transmission Tuning
Put the power to the pavement like you mean it with 10R80 transmission tuning support using VCM Suite (TCM requires separate licensing). Build out your transmission tunes with adjustable parameters like TCM RPM Limits, Shift Scheduling, Shift Timing, Shift Pressures, Torque Converter and more so you can take advantage of every horsepower.
Building your (exempt) racecar? We also offer Transbrake tuning support for 5.0L GT and select EcoBoost Mustangs. This special feature can be useful in drag/track applications to allow for better launches off the line but should be used with caution.
*The transbrake can cause stress to a vehicle’s drivetrain and should be used with extreme caution. Use at your own risk.

Stay cool with Rear Drive Unit (RDU) tuning support in VCM Suite (requires separate licensing). Adjust parameters like Soft Overtemperature, Hard Overtemperature, Max Line Pressure, and Oil Life Thresholds so you make more reliable power on and off the track.
No AWD dyno for testing? No problem. Utilize a special function in VCM Scanner allowing you to enable/disable AWD mode when you don’t have access to an AWD dyno. It’s as easy as opening VCM Scanner > Vehicle Controls & Special Functions > and selecting Enable or Disable.
