Seeking Guidance on EZ Lynk Tuner for My 6.7 Powerstroke

I’ve been diving into the world of tuning my 6.7L Powerstroke and came across the EZ Lynk Tuner. I’m curious if anyone here has experience with it and can provide some insights. Here are a few specific things I’m hoping to get advice on:

Performance Gains

  • What kind of performance improvements did you notice after installing the EZ Lynk?
  • Has it really made a difference in towing capabilities? I often tow heavy loads and am looking for something that can handle that.

Installation Process

  • How straightforward is the installation? Did you face any challenges?
  • Are there any essential tools I should have on hand before I start?

Community Support and Resources

  • Are there particular forums or groups that focus on Powerstroke tuning that you’d recommend?
  • I noticed a lot of chatter about EGR and DPF deletes. Is this something most users do with the EZ Lynk? What are the pros and cons?

Recommendations

  • If you’ve used the EZ Lynk, would you recommend it to a friend? Or is there a better option out there I should consider?

Thanks for any input! I’m excited to learn more and enhance my truck’s performance while making sure I do everything by the book!

Absolutely! One common issue is poor Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. Make sure your phone or tablet is close to the EZ Lynk device during setup. If it doesn’t connect, try restarting the tuner and your device.

That’s really helpful! How do you actually configure the tunes once you get it connected?

Configuring the tunes is done through the EZ Lynk app. Just select your truck model and the desired tuner options. You can choose from a variety of presets depending on your performance needs — towing, economy, etc. Just remember to save any custom tunes you set up!

You mainly just need the EZ Lynk device and a laptop or tablet. No special tools are required, but having a good set of jumper cables can help in case of low battery during the process.

Makes sense! Is there a way to back up my original settings before I change anything?

Yes, definitely! The EZ Lynk app allows you to back up your stock tune easily before making any changes. It’s highly recommended to do this just in case you want to revert to factory settings later.

This is really helpful info, but I’ve heard some people say that tuners can cause issues with warranty claims. Any thoughts?

That’s true! Many manufacturers may void your warranty if they find out you’re using a tuner. It’s always a good idea to check your warranty specifics before installation, or consider switching back to stock if service is needed.

Wow, now I’m feeling a bit anxious about this! Anyone found a way to keep warranty intact while using a tuner?

14

You could always keep the stock tune saved and restore it whenever necessary. It might be a hassle, but it’s a safer bet if you want to play it cautious. Besides, if anything goes wrong, just unplug the EZ Lynk and plug it back in when you’re ready!

I’ve been using the EZ Lynk Tuner on my 6.7 Powerstroke for about six months now. The performance enhancements are noticeable, especially with throttle response and towing capacity.

16

That’s great to hear! What specific tuning settings did you find work best for towing?

17

Using the EZ Lynk, I usually stick with the Tow Tune on my 6.7. It gives extra torque without sacrificing throttle response. Highly recommend it!

Sounds like a solid option! How does it compare to other tuners like the SCT or H&S?

I had a SCT before moving to EZ Lynk. The flexibility and features of the EZ Lynk really wowed me. It’s definitely worth considering!

I wonder if the EZ Lynk is more user-friendly than SCT? I’ve had some trouble with mine in the past.
