I am taking my truck in next week. Right now it shows codes P0341 and P 0606. Should I clear those. How do they now if I have ran a tuner. I have never used it to tow with. I have used it like three different times in the life of the truck.

 

p0341 is camshaft position sensor, which should 't be caused by a tuner. But P0606 MAY or MAY NOT be related to your use of a tuner.

 

clear them and see if they come back up

 

Yup... PO606 is a PCM Processor Fault, described by my tech as the "somebody's been in there code"... I didn't notice the type of tuner. Is it a SCMT 1704 or 1804?

 

if your worried the dealer would find out why did you buy and install it?

 

Lets maintain some gray area on this one today... The extremist positioning on tuners tires me more so than the flu I've had for the last two weeks...

iam just saying why run one if you cant fix the truck on your dime.
you know it will void any warrenty why risk it

 

Seems to me that horse should have been beaten to death by now.

IMHO, post if you can help, read if you cannot or don't want to help.

jetact, you've got a PM.

 

Remove the tuner clear the codes disconnect the batteries and let the truck sit overnight.In the morning start it up and drive it till it goes in the shop.

 

 

I think BTH says he can tell it had a tuner no matter what you do.

 

Good to see a post out of you BTH. It's been many moons...

 

im still here. just only post up when someone with a serious question is around, or if my input is needed. or in this dude's case, someone makes a funny.

 

You're a wise man... I'm not so wise and like to too much sometimes. It's good to know your out there

So, what's the verdict: Can you, or can you not detect if a tuner was used (other than injector spray patterns on the pistons) if the batteries are disconnected, etc, prior to service? Paranoid minds want to know... PM me if you don't want it public.

 

Bowtie,

This was just a question. If the dealer figures it out then I will have one of my mechanics at my shop fix it. My mechanics keep a fleet of 12 International dump truck running + two Cummins in my semi's so I will get it fixed. I just figured Ford could fix it if they would. You are giving the dealership mechanics way more credit for brains then they deserve. My friends 06 has been in the shop three times in the last two weeks. Everytime it comes out the CEL comes back on in the first 15 miles. Then they say they have no idea how that happened. So he calls our friend who owns the dealership this time and they had a whole new attitude towardes him and his truck. Maybe with the added pressure they can figure it out. So I don't really have much confidence in the mechanics unless they have been there for a long time and have some in the field experience. Book experience gets you now where other then they probably change the oil much neater then my 15 year old does. I am obviously going to a different dealer who deals in more trucks. I would perfer to go to the International dealership. But all else fails we will do it in house
