Cool but it doesnt fix anything that hasnt already been resolved, the engine loses its idle programming and has to relearn, the trans loses its shift timings and has to relearn, and you’ll likely have to restore your radio stations. But I guess if you have time to spare fhen fine, giggle away.

of course if you havent done it on an escape then you dont know what the effect will be, good or bad. Not all Fords are the same...
