There is a lot of the Ebay stuff I would question. The place I get the ones I have has been good about not sending me any duds.
Because the ones I have access to are clones they do like to run on XP Pro Win7 or Win8 BUT not on 10.
I know also if you are running anything higher than v86 in the clone world you have to deal with things like
VMware and Deep Freeze. With the 6.0L v86 is really all you need as it is more than capable to handle all
the systems in the trucks. Now with the E-series because they were still being built after 2007 model year.
we may need to check. No one has reported anything back on that yet.
Now as far as ordering goes I have not gotten an answer back on the amount that the tariffs will add to any orders.

Ok, if you get anymore I'm interested in purchasing one. My truck has 140,000 miles and I have a couple injectors that are acting up when cold would just like to be able to diagnose myself. I do run archoil in oil and in fuel which helps but they're getting tired.
Thanks

Sorry about not getting and staying on top of this. Between being sick and the new job that requires me to be out of town for a while for training.
I still have not gotten a YES or NO answer on the tariff question.
If you have sent me a message and not gotten a response try again and I will try to get an answer from my supplier.

Latest and greatest and a heads up: Ford Brand Corp Offices will be cracking down on IDS clones so I'd be careful ordering any of this stuff off FleaBay, Amazonalclone (source of 90% of the counterfeit goods in the US), etc...............

Have you heard back from him? I've sent him a PM, got a response, emailed him with his supplied email, sent a PM and another email after a couple of weeks as I hadn't heard back from him. Hope everything is okay. Site says he was online at 6am this morning, maybe he's just been super busy...
