After almost 3 weeks without the car, it is finally ALIVE! First 2 days was to have the LCA relocation brackets welded and 4.10s installed, next 2weeks because of a bad SCT Xcal2, went to load the new tune for the gears, the SCT erased the PCM, and didn't load anything back!

And you got the stock tune back how?
And it took two weeks why?
And this is tech related how?

How is it running Sactown?

Dealership flashed the PCM with the stock Ford tune.

Car died May 1st Thursday night, spoke with SCT via phone Friday theyemailed me a program to dump the info from the SCT, emailed them the info Friday afternoon. Called them Monday and at that point they had no info for me, called Tuesday they said ship it back to them, so I over nighted it. SCT signed for the tuner Wednesday, but did not enter it into their system until Thursday. They fixed it Friday, but did not send it out until Monday, they shipped it via hitch hiker backpack, and it took 8 days to get here.

This is about as tech related as which SC is best.

Yes you do have 4444 posts.

Runs good, other than the battery being dead when I went to load the new tune. But after we put the jumper battery in the tune loaded, and the car runs like a champ, picking it up today, they are detailing it for free. Can't wait!

Just another shining example of why NOT to take your car to a dealer for work...lol

Glad it worked out Sac.

hey Mod,
The tuner actually failed out if front of my house when I was trying to up load the new tune, the dealership was at least able to load the factory tune and get the car to start again. These guys actually do a very good job, my car is considered the "shop" car, they baby that thing as much as I do. Which is not common for a dealership.

I thought it was getting a new clutch?

Did the dealer weld your LCA relo brackets? While I'm on the subject and off topic, do you need to remove the control arms from the brackets in order to weld them?

new clutch will be here tomorrow Mcleod RST twin disc and bearing kit, but I am going to drive the car for at least a week before I give it up again for the install. The dealer did weld the lca brackets you only need to loose the front bolt and remove back to swing the lca's out of the way, but they probably don't need to be removed.
BTW: sorry about being a d!ck about a month or so ago.
