Just wondering, what tuner did this happen with? I have heard of guys saying that they knew someone, who knew someone....who had that happen....but I have not first hand seen it before. Did anything odd get done, or get noticed the last time it was tuned? Was the tuner updated before you returned the PCM to stock maybe? Just trying to figiure out the what and why of the matter.....
Sorry to hear that, it does suck when your day goes bad, but we all face it at times. Hang in there.....

Alcohol will do alot of things: it'll make anybody pretty, make you believe any lie, pick a fight with somebody twice your size, make you new friends, or even get you fired from work; but I guess it also makes you run over your tuner.
Which tuner did you end up getting?

Frdtruckpuller (Larry) is probably not aware of this but a few weeks ago we had a problem with a predator. The guy showed up at the shop and it was doing the same thing. I switched him to a SCT and now he is very happy.
p.s. that was larry above on my laptop in the shop.

this just happened to me this morning...just got my new sct tuner, put in the 80 hp econo tune, and went to try to start the truck, and it threw 2 codes and wouldn't start...one code was security, truck disabled, the other was comp something or other...i tried twice, and the truck just turned over real fast, i then tried to upload the stock tune, and it said none in storage!!...so i cleared the codes, and put the tune back in, and it finally started, but now im wondering what happened to the stock file?, is it gone forever?...all this happened 1 hour before work, so i didnt even adjust anything else as far as tranny shift, and wot shift....so any suggestions on what happened, and suggestions on how to adjust this tuner??
