I installed my Lidio tune today and "All I can say is WOW!!!!! My MM just came alive...everyone should save up for a tune, these cars should have come from the factory this way. My MM breaks the tires loose now and the tranny shift points are awsome. Why didn't I do this mod sooner.

Black04, is the tune and the k&n the only performance mods on your MM? Im very ignorant when it comes to computer tunes, so forgive me, but do you just connect it to the car and it tunes it for you? Or do you have to use a laptop? And how easy was it? I know I have a lot of researching to do on the lidio tunes but I have heard everywhere the tune awakens the cars shift points and what not.

After you get a tune and a tuner, all you have to do is follow the instructions to reprogram the car's computer. The tuner will store the original tune and install the new tune. Takes about 5-8 minutes. Get a tuner & tune.... you won't be sorry.

I've had Lidio's 3.55 tune for 2 years now.
I purchased the Xcal2 form Wes (Innovative Interceptors) and
Lidio programmed it for me.

I haven't tried any other tune so I can't compare the tunes.

Lidio's tune absolutely wakes up your Marauder.
If FORD installed a tune like this from the factory
they would have sold 10 times more Marauders !!!

Go out back and kick yourself now for not buying it sooner. I bought a Reinhart tune after a year of driving the MM stock. That was a year and a half ago. I still kick myself once a week for waiting on the tune.

The SCT PRP is the best investment for Fords IMHO. I'm still using the 9100 blue SCT Flasher for my Vic :D I'm saving the X-Cal 2 for the CAN-bus system.

The only performance mod is the K&N. The tune was very simple to install just plug it in and follow the instuctions. If you are thinking of getting one all I can say is "GET IT" my MM runs awsome.

Yea, that was the first mod I did on my MM and I was shocked at how much more fun it was to drive, and how it pretty much became more of a beast within a matter of minutes.

Do I need to change my thermostat or plugs for this tune?

You can purchase from Lidio at Alternative Auto or Mo's Speed shop. I have purchased both tunes, one for each Marauder. Both guys do a great job and both know Marauders. I'm running Mo's tune in my Silver Birch. LOVE IT!

Check the vendor section here for contact info for both. You won't regret it. In the neighborhood of $400 and well worth it.

I have the Xcal2 tune from Lidio and still love it. It got better when the gears were swapped for 4.10's. It got even more aggressive when billet control arms took all the slack from upshifts.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. So I returned my marauder back to stock because I was having issues with it running hotter than normal. I turned the AC on to kick the fan on and that helped. I used the pre loaded tune on the sct x4 tuner. Has anyone else had this problem?
