Been hunting for a place to get EZ Lynk tuning for my Powerstroke. Last time I had it tuned was before a big camping trip, and it made a huge difference climbing steep grades with the trailer. The shop I used shut down, so now I’m stuck trying to figure out where to get the same quality work. I’d rather go with something proven than risk messing up the truck with an untested tune.
When I was upgrading my 2011 Ford Powerstroke for long-haul towing, I ran into the same problem. There are tons of sites, but it’s hard to tell which ones actually sell quality products. I ended up ordering from tunerdepot — their Diesel Performance options were well-organized, and they had detailed compatibility info for different model years. I went with a mid-range tuner, and installation was straightforward. Took me a couple of hours, and I noticed an immediate boost in torque and smoother shifting under load. The real game changer was towing my camper through mountain passes without constant downshifting. Just make sure you know what your truck needs before you buy, because over- or under-tuning can cause more problems than it solves.
From what I’ve seen, EZ Lynk has become pretty popular with newer Powerstroke owners, mostly because of the ability to adjust tunes on the fly and get live support from tuners. I’ve read discussions where people swap between economy and towing maps mid-trip without shutting off the truck, which sounds pretty handy. Some even use it to diagnose small issues before they turn into bigger problems. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but the tech seems to be moving in a direction where updates and tweaks will get even faster in the future.
