Default Computer reflashing?

I no people say that Ford can reflash ur computer, what about other mechanics that work at like Mobil or Meinekey?

Thanx ahead of time!

Nope. Only Ford can "re=flash" using stock tune and CPU. You can however flash update your ECM using aftermarket tunes and tuner from a good vendor here on the forums for about $600 (SCT XCAL2 or Diablo) and also keep your stock ford tune. Look at the top categories on the forum and do some time reading about tuners...

Thanx and either diablo or sct tuner's allow u to download ur stock tune into the tuner? What rwhp and rwtorquegains can I expect from the tuner? Does it really tighten up shifts a lot?

Thanks Ahead of time!

If you mess it up with the tuner, they will probably charge you.
