You simply plug it into the OBD2 port, program, then unplug.
To set back to stock, reverse procedure =o)

This makes me feel better because it's at least consistent.
DAX0 was running change 4 and DAX1 was running change 5.
"Running Changes" are in order. This is simply a sequence ID that Ford uses.
DAX0 was indeed before DAX1
running change 6 was TEC0
running change 8 was TEC2
This is all I have to discuss on this matter at this time...

The tuner will work on these codes.

DAX has some cold start and surging issues (stock) that are really annoying.
Other people have no problems with these codes.
Cxances are, if you have a DAX0 or 1 box and it runs fine, it has already been reflashed to something else. The most likely case is that it is now a TEC2.
I've driven at least 12 trucks that are TEC2....they run great.
There are many other codes that run great.
My main focus here is that DAX codes have issues stock that later flashes can fix.

I understand the concern about will it work...
but if there is a 30 day money back trial perioed, is it REALLY important to KNOW before hand ?
Bob, I'm now thinking of trying this too ! So if you want to be "first to market" you best hurry :-)

I will post it for the 3 box codes we were talking about when I get to work tomorrow.
For the rest of them.......customer service will soon have a list of reference for supported/unsupported calibrations so this can be handled on the phone.
This isn't done yet....so please be patient.
