OOOOOPS. Live and learn I guess. In my limited experience with Fords, I don't think you burned anything out, but have seriously screwed up the software loaded on the PCM. If I were in your position, I would remove the chip, disconnect the batteries and wait for while. Then reconnect the batteries, leave the chip out, and try a "system restore and reset this tool" from the Predator. They have "force" option once you start through the menus on that one. I've done it a few times on my truck so I'm familiar with that process.
If that doesn't work your only recourse is to have your PCM reflashed and www.DP-tuner.com can do that for a very reasonable cost.

Awesome, I was feeling bad for you on this day, glad she's up and running and Dan is right, the little lady must stay happy. Truck not running and significant other on your a$$ makes for one unhappy camper.

Now from what I understand, you got hold of Jody today and he was working with you, is that correct? I will definately have to do business with a guy like that.
