Tuner Program

Well I got a setup where I can connect my computer to any OBD2 vehicle and I can get codes and run gauges, but I was wondering if any of you knew of a program, like a Billy Dog Power Pup or something like that where I can use my computer to save the stock setup and then put the new setup on there. IDK if there is such a thing, but thats why I am asking. If so where is it? And I am all for free things.. Like anyone here ever heard of CHROME for hondas? I messed with it a little. But I want somether where I can just pick a preprogrammed setup (Thats why I liket he Bully Dog Power Pup idea) and jsut load it and off I go then when I need to just reload my stock configuration. Thanks guys in advance.

PT Diag would only upload the program, you can't do the actual tuning with it.

if you want to tune your own truck check out Power Hungry Performance, they sell the kit where you can make your own programs.

You can do the same with sniper special forces software as well. I think the OP wanted to be able to save his stock program on the computer. Most a/m tuning allows for the stock program to be saved on a seperate tuning device not the computer. Sniper uses a seperate device to do the tuning, so it won't save it on the computer and I'm willing to bet that Power Hungry software uses a similiar device for delivery as well. PT DIAG is straight from computer to truck which is what he is wanting to be able to save his stock program on a computer and it will save upload and check all Ford codes for any and all OBD-II computer equipped Ford vehicles.
