Pre Dyno Inspection

Every successful tune begins with a comprehensive pre-dyno inspection. Our expert technicians meticulously check the vehicle to ensure it is in optimal condition for the tuning process. This crucial step helps us identify any potential issues that could affect the tuning results. Here are some of the checks we perform during this inspection:

  1. Fluid Levels Check: Ensuring that engine oil, coolant, and other essential fluids are at proper levels and in good condition.
  2. Engine Health Assessment: Checking for any leaks, unusual noises, or signs of wear and tear that could affect performance.
  3. Diagnostic Scan: Running a diagnostic scan to identify any existing fault codes or issues with the vehicle’s electronics.
  4. Air and Fuel System Inspection: Examining the air intake and fuel delivery systems to ensure they are clean and functioning correctly.
  5. Tire Condition and Pressure: Verifying that the tires are in good condition and properly inflated to ensure accurate dyno readings.
Now that the pre-dyno checks have been made, let’s get into the results!

Custom Dyno Tuning Process

Before any adjustments, we performed initial stock runs to establish the Ranger’s baseline performance. The results were as follows:

  • Power: 141.6 HP
  • Torque: 353.6 Nm
