I just recieved my SCT XCAL3 from mike at 5 Star. It came with 3 custom tunes; 87 perf. , 87 econ. , and 91 performance. I only tried the 87 performance and the truck runs great! Great off the line and good pull thru the midrange rpm. I'm really excited about this because my truck was a dog before. I can't wait to try the 91 performance.
I know this is my first post but been lurking here for a little while now.

It's a programmer; you do not send your PCM to him. You do need to send him your box code and eventually your hex code.
How do these programmers affect warranty when / if you have to take it in for something?
Is it easily removeable before you take truck to dealer or do they care?
What gains could be expected in a 2012 dual wheel f-350 4x4 6.2 ?
Does it just plug in a Raptor tuning map or 13,300 gvw truck has to be something different?
Yes, they are easily removeable, but if Ford wants to search/dig, they can determine you have used a tuner. If you have an engine related failure (under warranty) it is very possible that Ford will deny the warranty claim based on your use of the tuner.
I strongly suggest you go to 5startuning.com and call Mike or PM fordmdb.
whats it going to cost me to get the tuner and get set up with mike, and what tuner do i get, maybe i can locate one used?
Yes, there are used SCT XCAL3s available. Should be able to find an unlocked one for $200-300.
I don't work for Mike and I've never bought a tuner from him. I was VERY close, but in the end I bought a PHP Gryphon CTS cause I wanted the real-time gauges.
I'm curious, do you have a phone? If so, why haven't you called Mike?
