Stupid ?
This might be a stupid question, but here goes. Do any of the tuners Diablo, SCMT etc...able to just correct the speedometer and transmission shift points without adding additional HP or Torque? After reading up on the Banks issues I'm really gun shy about tweaking the engine. I simply want to make corrections for my 35" tires. I thought about getting the Tru-Speed, but i wanted to leave my options open in case I change my mind later. thanks in advance.

I have 315/75/16's (34.7 tall) and do nothing to correct the speed. I think Ford can even recalibrate your speed for this tire. If you want a custom tune for shifting, SC may be able to do this.

HOW2FISH, Where did you take yours? I called El Cajon Ford and was told by a service manager they couldn't do it.

I think they charged 1 hour for it. I think 1 hour= $86

Not yet anyway.

Are you guys tuning for the 6.0 with the SCT now? I heard Eldreth got you guys setup for it... any idea when you will have it ready? I'll be glad when you do, you did a great job with the SCT for the Taurus I purchased.

Yes, we have been doing it for about a month now.
I speak with Eric and Jon several times a week, there aren't many SCT dealers doing diesel stuff yet, so we all rely on each other to learn new things. I'm personal friends with both those guys and Jerry@SCT so I've had a little help getting up to speed on it fast. We all deal in the Mustang scene together as well!
