Seems like the way would be to go to ford and get the pcm reflashed. Even if Brent got you the factory stock ford tune, how would you load it w/o your tuner? You may have to keep the intake on if you take it in, since you're stuck with the tune already in you'd have to keep the intake on.

I'm sure that Brent has all the tunes he ever made stored on his system. Worst case is you have to buy another handheld unit and get Brent to load your tunes onto it again....

I don't think the XCAL can do what the Ford shop programer can
Xcals are locked to vin#s so eventhough brent probobly has a copy of all the stock tunes the Xcal would be locked to the vin of the PCM that the tune came from
so buy a new tuner tell brent what happened and have hime load tunes for what he thinks will be loaded
then after you get the tuner go to ford have em flash the PCM then you reflash with the new tuner
and then bam you have a tuner that works with your car again
