cycle tuner out?!

I had a sct tuner on my truck and I returned it to stock but how long do you have to drive it before it cycles out of the computer? Anything else I have to do?

If you put it back to stock and it went through the process with sct then it is automatic. Not sure what your asking.i guess

I think I get what you are saying, I had a buddy put one of his canned SCT tunes on my truck, just for S and G. Seemed like it took a couple of days to go back to "normal" after he returned it to stock. For me the biggest change I noticed was the trans shifted "better" for almost a week before it was back to what I remember it being before (not bad, just stock). So to answer you, I would not be suprised if it took a couple of days.

If you clear the KAM the transmission relearns shift points, regardless if it's loading a tune or going back to stock. I notice it when I reload the SCT canned trans tune because it shifts HARD at WOT for about a week after.

Lol no what I'm saying is I don't want ford to know I had a tuner on there.so I took it off and have been driving it stock and I was told that the computer will cycle out the signs of the tuner..is this true? And would there be anything else I would have to do to get that flash out

Same issue, when you clear the KAM it sets a code. Drive cycle to reset the P1000 code. Couple days of normal driving should hit whatever the requirements are.
