Diablosport 7157 Tuner for 07-08 Ford Ranger!
 

I have owned several Diablosport tuners for my many Mustangs and when I found they made one for the Ranger, I just couldn't resist! I bought mine only for about $320 shipped, it arrived in 4 days and it couldn't have been soon enough. I just bought a 2007 Ranger XLT reg cab, 2.3 duratec automatic. It was "sluggish" to say the least with a heavy Undercover brand bed cover, class 4 monster aftermarket hitch, full size spare and a original owner that was very "gentle" with it. Well after some almost 10 second 0-60 second runs, I had to try the Diablosport... If anything to get it on par with the very impressive 5 speed duratecs. Here is my findings: Very nice transmission difference! Way faster acceleration times (3 seconds faster almost to 60mph) and a new, sporty feel to the very boring slush box in the Ranger... Also im guessing on about 3-4 mpg better economy. Here is the video... I can't be happier with this tuner!!! Especially since i'm on the lowest level of three tunes and getting this good of results!

sweeeeeeeeeet.

ok so how will these things do with a manual tranny? im not very knowledgeable with tuners. I have a 4.0L sohc 4x4. How can this tuner help?

lets see it on a sohc

nice

Sweet. Does it take the top speed gov. off ? 99 isnt fast enough for me. And is it available for 09s?

Your truck is governed for a reason. Chances are your tires aren't rated to go faster than that either (assuming you have stock ones).

Nah stock tires didnt last very long

x2

interested to see how it does on a SOHC.

will be looking for a tuner after i regear.

thought you were going to get a camaro, then a mustang, then a terminator, then a full size, now your talking about regearing. damn man make up your mind hahah

I hope to find someone with a 04+ SOHC at the Branson meet that we can try it on.
I have mine set at 110. It will get there with ease

hope
I say just buy one. I bet you it makes a huge difference

Agreed. My tuner made a noticeable difference. Was I making gobs of power? No but compared to stock there was a decent difference. With my tires and tuner my truck has about the power of a stock truck.

Does someone want to flash my 04 sohc 4.0L You are more than welcome to it

Also I wonder if they make one for an 08 escape with the 2.3l in it cause my girl has one and almost no acceleration

Does anyone know if this will work on a 09?

.

im getting ready to get one soon after i get it and 4.56 gear's in the rearend and ill be in hog heaven

Well i'm going to dig up this thread since I just bought a Predator from Bad04duratec. Installed it last night but haven't really gotten a chance to test it out. Gonna try it out Monday when i'm off.

Well after several hours of driving I have to say I'm very pleased with it. Right off the bat I can tell the throttle response is much better. I was running 91 tune but installed the 91 performance tune this morning to run for a while. I'll be driving it down to Charleston in 2 weeks and will see how the highway mileage does.

Does it recalibrate speedometer for larger tires? Any real improvement on fuel economy? Thanks.

Anyone?

That has been using it and checking their mileage....or should I just dig out the crystal ball? :smile:

I bought the one that was for sale in this thread and yes it recalibrates your speedo. As for mileage... it didn't make any huge difference on my 4.0L.

I couldn't get any better mileage out of it than when I was just driving as economically as I could before I had it. The difference I noticed is that my mileage is better when driving normally. Hope that makes sense...

the SCT one i got for my birthday does.

You can recalibrate the speedo with this tuner. I saw a mild increase in mileage on highway but not really during city use.
