Interesting comment on the Boss CAI

5 DOT 0,

No, I didn't .....

Don't let them charge you for topping off your power steering fluid either....

LOL.
One thing about most (if not all ) of us Boss owners, we have a good sense of humor. I enjoy reading this stuff.

Actually, we have a long term relationship with the selling dealer, so I got a lot of breaks for the things that were done prior to delivery. Purchased in Orlando, live in DFW and so far my service experience in Dallas has been real good also. Next time, I will definitely ask to get the PS topped off!

Just realized, this is really off the original subject. My apologies.

As for the 2013 not having a skip shift? I had the dealer disconnect mine. Build date 5/22/12

I hope you didn't pay for that.

Yeah hopefully you didn't pay for that haha. Kinda scary that they even agreed to disable something that doesn't exist...

I just remembered how the "disconnect order" came about.

Because of reading about this on the forum and other things such as "restrictor plate removal"; I informed the Service Manager. I told him that supposedly the 2013 had no "skip shift". At that time he said that he didn't think that was correct.

Called me back with the news that in fact there was a skip shift solenoid and it had beed disconnected by his tech.

So, thanks to the Forum!

right from ford racings site about the trackey software. I would like to see pics of this disconnected solenoid...
Skip-shift disable (Available for 2012 Boss 302, not necessary on 2013 model)

That still doesn't explain that there is no skip shift on the 2013 cars. Removing the skip shift code is the main difference between the 2012 and 2013 TK tune software. See below.

It maybe a difference in the software or maybe just that they left out the solenoid. I also don't think this is indicative of a problem with skip shift as much as them realizing that most people didn't want it the first place.

Exactly! I just tried to call the Service Manager to try and get a verification from him and his tech. This might make a new good thread?

I would be surprise if a dealer tech knew the details of the programming details of TK.

My FRPP calibration deleted Skip Shift. The solenoid is just dead weight now.

Awesome. So, in addition to Sync, we have a faux skip shift on 2013!
