Sct tuner

I'm currently thinking about getting an sct tuner for my 2006 f350 6.0. the one I want is 420$ is there a way I can get a used one that still works with everything, I seen where people sold there's and said it was unmarried, is that a good thing or bad thing if it's unmarried and what else should I be looking out for if I'm going to buy a used sct tuner?

As long as the person has restored the stock program to the truck it won't be vin locked, and then it can be installed on another truck.

I have no idea...but probably. It's not a reset so much as it is a restore...

Yes, unmarried means it is no longer associated with a truck/VIN. They restored the stock truck tune and it erases the stored VIN. It can then be used on another truck/VIN.

I wouldn’t run the canned tunes from the sct when they are much better options. Blessed performance offers a deal with 3 tunes and the SCT x4 for like $400-450. There are also some other popular vendors like innovative diesel performance and gear head and others

Is that 6.0 built or are you gonna rune a tune until it pops and rebuild it? They're known as 6.Blows for a reason.

She's stock but I am egr deleting it and doing a bunch of other preventive maintenance like coolant filter and making sure I change everything out ever 3-5k miles. (will not be head studying it at all) also I am not going to be doing any harsh tunes on it that will be pushing it to much, the truck is about 250000 miles and has never had a problem and has ran great since brand new.
