Question about tuners
I know that there are many different tuners out there, but my question is basic. As an example I buy an "SCT X Caliber II" tuner. Will that tuner only work on my 07 Mustang? If not what else will itwork on? What I am looking foris atuner that will work on my 07 Mustang GT as well as my 02 F150 truck (5.4). The reason that I am asking is that I put somebigger tires on my F150, only 7.5% bigger, but to calibrate the speedo it needs a tuner. Or a shop thatwill charge memore than half the cost of a good tuner. fd

no, you cant....once loaded onto one vehicle, you can not use it on another until the 1st is returned to stock form.....

so you could correct your tires but you'd have to de-correct them to use the Xcal2 on the stang and then if you wanted to re-correct them you wouldn't be able to use it on your stang again
there are PRO level tuners (that you can create a tune with) that can do more than 1 vehicle but
1. cost alot more
2. pay a license (depending on tuner) per vehicle
the one I'm thinking of is this sniper-tuner that I don't think I can link to here

I think that I asked you once before. How long have you been using that nic? I have been using it since 98 or 99.

with the underscore
I didn't add the underscore to copy you it was already part of the nic I was using
If a forum Allows underscores I put one in my nic and if its a Car forum I use Ford_Dude if the forum isn't car related I have a few that I use mainly 1_1_1
