So what you're saying is: while on the rollers at Bud's, there wasn't the tune you believed there was in there, thus the less-than-expected results?

No, that's not it. I had my PCM's strategy updated since then, so that tune wouldn't work anymore...had to get a new one that was written specifically for the new calibration strategy.

That's a pretty short story, but I guess there isn't much else to say.

Are you a suspect?

Seriously, I am sorry to hear that it is someone you knew.

I once put a dent in the front passenger's side door with a shopping cart. That was special.

Other than that no...just custom tuning.

Kevin Marti, a Mustang 'nut' from Phoenix AZ found about about Ford's plan and got ALL of it.

You can call Ford's 800 number and request a build sheet, but it takes weeks, because Ford has to get the info from Marti (martiauto.com).

The free info is limited, if you want more like a copy of your original window sticker, other info, you have to get it from Marti. There is a fee, which escalates...depending on how much info you want.

This info is known withing the hobby as a Marti Report.

Anthony: Your truck may have been repainted. The original scheme with a white roof, would be painted white below the side mouldings.

It's very possible your truck was assembled 9/1976. Due to UAW strikes, production of some 1970's vehicles was delayed.

Not all new vehicles were introduced in September, as it also depended on problems on the assembly line.

This is exactly what occured with the new 1957 trucks, which were not introduced until January 1957.

Race Track mouldings were only available on Ranger XLT's in 1977.

You NEED to get a Marti Report.

Yeah But This information is incorrect, Ford it Got it From Marti, I'll order a Martia Report 'n See what That Say's.
If This Truck was Built on 9/17/76 as They Claim, That would Make it a '77, when's it's a '76. The VIN Tag Say's 10/75, So, I Think They Screwed up The Year. I alway's knew There was Somethin' Special about My Truck.
The only Thing They Got correct was The "All around Tinted Glass" and AM Radio.
