The Commander is ultimately the best way to go when it comes to downtime.
To tune your 2020-2022 Ford Powerstroke 6.7L, you will need:
- Commander unlock & tuning tool with Ford harness
- Commander credits (8 for 2020-2022 Fords)
- Tuning Package
For the Powerstroke, this tool will directly plug into your ECM and allow us to remotely tune your truck without you having to ship your ECM to us. It also comes with an OBD connector, which will enable us to tune your TCM as well. *You need the additional harness if using it on an L5P Duramax.
Designed for serious Powerstroke performance enthusiasts, the Commander Tuner delivers plug-and-play remote tuning for the 2020–2022 6.7L Ford diesel platform. With support for SOTF tuning, off-road DPF/EGR/DEF deletes, and real-time ECM/TCM adjustments, it is one of the best tuners for horsepower, torque, and towing performance—without the hassle of shipping your PCM.
**NOTE** The 2022 Ford PCM can only take a single tune file. To get the 5-tune SOTF package on your 2022 Ford, you must acquire a 2021 PCM and use this tool to program the 21 PCM.

1. Q: What is the Commander Tuner?
A: The Commander Tuner is a specialized tuning device for the 2020-2022 Ford Powerstroke 6.7L diesel engines.

· ECM and TCM Unlocking: Provides complete access to adjust engine and transmission parameters.
· Plug-and-Play Installation: Connects via the OBD-II port with an included harness for direct communication.

· 2020, 2021, and 2022 Ford Powerstroke 6.7L diesel engines.
· It may require a 2021 PCM for 2022 models to ensure compatibility. (The 2022 Ford PCM can only take a single tune file. To get the 5-tune SOTF package on your 2022 Ford, you must acquire a 2021 PCM and use this tool to program the 21 PCM. )
4. Q: How is the Commander Tuner installed?
A:
1. Connect the tuner to the OBD-II port of your vehicle.
2. Use the included harness to link the tuner to the ECM and TCM for unlocking.
3. Follow the device or software interface instructions to load your custom tune.
5. Q: Can it perform emissions deletes?
A: Yes, the Commander Tuner supports DPF, EGR, and DEF deletes for off-road or competition use only.

· The Commander Tuner operates on a credit-based system.
· The 8 credits are required to unlock and tune the ECM/TCM for your 2020-2022 Powerstroke.
· Additional credits can be purchased for tuning other vehicles or further adjustments.
7. Q: What performance gains can I expect?
A: Performance improvements depend on the tune applied, but typical gains include:
-
Horsepower: Significant increases in power output, often adding 100+ HP depending on the tune.
-
Supporting modifications, such as intake systems or exhaust upgrades, can further amplify these gains.
-
Fuel Economy: Improved efficiency under normal driving conditions.
-
Torque: Enhanced torque delivery for better towing and acceleration.
8. Q: Can I restore my truck to stock settings?
A: The Commander Tuner allows you to save and restore your stock settings anytime, ensuring you can revert to factory configurations if necessary.
9. Q: Is the Commander Tuner safe for my truck?

· Regular maintenance and monitoring are recommended to avoid premature wear.
10 .Q: Are there any special requirements for the 2022 Powerstroke?
A: Yes, as part of the compatibility process, you may need a 2021 PCM to fully unlock and tune 2022 Powerstroke models.

A:
· It eliminates the need to send in your ECM/PCM for unlocking.
· It supports both engine and transmission tuning.
· It simplifies the process with plug-and-play installation and remote tuning capabilities.
12. Q: Does it allow real-time monitoring of engine parameters?
A: Yes, the Commander Tuner offers real-time monitoring of vital engine parameters such as boost pressure, fuel rail pressure, and exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs). This feature helps you track your engine’s performance and detect potential issues early.
13. Q: Will using the tuner void my vehicle’s warranty?
A: Using any aftermarket tuner can potentially void your vehicle’s warranty, as manufacturers often consider them unauthorized modifications. Some tuners, including the Commander Tuner, allow you to restore your vehicle’s stock tune before a service visit, which may reduce the likelihood of detection.
14. Q: What performance gains (horsepower/torque) can I expect?
A: Typical gains range from 10–30% in horsepower and torque, depending on your vehicle, the tune used, and any additional modifications.
15. Q: Does it allow for real-time monitoring of engine parameters?
A: Yes, the tuner provides real-time monitoring for critical engine data, including boost levels, exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), fuel pressure, and more.
16. Q: Can it adjust for aftermarket mods like EGR delete kits or intake upgrades?
A: Yes, the Commander Tuner can be configured to accommodate mods like EGR deletes and aftermarket intakes. However, if you use such modifications, be aware of local emissions regulations.
17. Q: Does it cause any long-term wear or issues with the vehicle?
A: The tuner itself does not inherently cause wear, but the tunes applied may increase stress on the engine and drivetrain if pushed aggressively. Safe and moderate tunes and regular maintenance are unlikely to cause long-term issues. Ensuring proper supporting components (e.g., upgraded cooling or fuel systems) is essential for highly modified setups to avoid additional strain.

Honestly, the exhaust was much nicer than I expected fitment wise. It fit just as well if not better than exhaust systems I have installed in the past that were a few hundred more dollars. Shipping time was pretty good as well… received it the same week I ordered it. That’s about all I can speak on for now as I have only put about 100 miles on it.

Everything you need and nothing you don't. The parts install really impressively smoothly.
Could definitely use better / ANY instructions, especially since youtube vids on deleting trucks have been taken down lately.
It took a day of searching and watching vids here and there to find out it is extremely important to go in a certain order:
1: install the tuner first
2: install a "smog equipment has been removed" tune even though the truck still has the equipment at the moment.
3: remove the dpf and egr bits

Money well spent. Install was simple. Do not misunderstand simple with easy. Although it was easy for me. Install of the MINI MAXX V2 was a bit different. The video provided on the site was not how my installation went. In fact it was very different. With that, it did go as expected. The tuner does have some what of a learning curve, not very much info out there now with all the bureaucratic garbage we, in the US, have to contend with. It is out there, just TOUGH to glein. The removal of that gargantuan nightmare of an exhaust filter was not for the faint of heart. It is heavy, and the connectors on all those sensors can be challenging. It will be worth the struggle. The removal of the Extra Grace Required part was the hardest part for me. Having had my exhaust and turbo out 2 times, one of the bolt heads got damaged in the last re-install. That took a huge amount of patience and correctly applied downward force and a special tool. FYI THE PYROS DO NOT READ CORRECTLY ON 2011 F350 IT WILL ONLY READ 1193°!
Then the block off bypass parts, easy install. Looks great and does everything I expected. As a plumber I was able to use some expansion couplings and cut the water tubes and did not use the supplied hose. Then back on the ground to install the exhaust pipe. That was a challenge. The hanger bracket wasn't quite on par and was bent a bit. Nothing like a torch and a quality set of Pittsburgh 3/4" box end wrenches. Got that squared away, lined everything out and the slip joint went in nicely. I only used one of the 3 bolt flange bolts because I saved 2 of the pressed in studs. The down pipe connector flange was a special kind of hurrah. Perseverance, busted knuckle, and lots of upward pressure, accomplished that.! Overall I like the kit, don't like it doesn't come with instructions, but if you're buying this kit I'm betting you're already a mechanic anyway. HUGE THANKS TO SPETUNER.
One more thing, FedEx delivered my 1st kit to 2 wrong addresses, SPETUNER made it right and sent out a new kit for my. That is worthy of my review!
