SCT question

So I got the truck back tonight ($2400 ) and I tried loading the stock+ tune back into it. At first it kept freezing up- the tuner- and I kept having to unplug it. Reloaded stock tune, then it started loading stock+, got to 99% said downloading tune please wait... Well I waited half an hour and it was still stuck on 99%. I unplugged it since I was at my daughters softball game and i had to get home. When I did get home I plugged it back in to try yet again, the first screen said stock+ tune was loaded. It locked up on me several times when I first tried it when it got to the adjust options screen, I kept clicking on the first option that had adjustments saved- I can't remember how it was worded, but it kept locking up on that screen. Any suggestions? What gives? The LAST thing I need now is another problem... TIA -Tim

Strategy change was my thought too.

Might try dropping it on the ground a few times though

I'll try that. I will check strategy today after work. Work done was HPOP and regulator. And yes it was returned to stock. But that is the funny thing- when I first started trying to load the tune in, it almost seems like maybe the attempt at returning to stock before the wrecker came didn't go? I'll see how it runs as I'm on my way out to work now. Thanks guys!
