Thanks

www.sctflash.com will give you all the info you could ask for. I don't know of any manual, but it's pretty straight forward on the programmer itself or the vendor you bought it from can answer any question you should have or we can here.

I saw your other thread. Mind if I ask who you purchased your SCT from initially?

In case nobody told you the manual is written for gas cars with 1 battery and says to pull fuel pump fuses and everything else. Other than turning off the a/c and radio and head lights, you can flash without all the other non-sense on the 2 battery diesels. I have flashed mine this way literally thousands of times.

I didnt know that I needed to turn those things off. What happens if I loaded a tune with the radio and headlights on?

Well, I've never loaded a tune with the headlights on but the radio doesn't seem to hurt anything

It only tells you to turn them off so you don't run out of power during the flash process. If you lose power during the flash, you're SOL. Need new PCM.

We don't need no stinkin' manuals, we've got Matt!!
