Are you using the canned tunes or custom? How is the TBC not letting you upload? Is the SCT saying the upload failed? Might want to give SCT a call if you are using canned tunes since they are the ones who wrote them.

hmmm. I'm not familiar with how the SF3 uploads, but does it get to a certain percentage or is it getting all the way to the end and then it displays the TBC fault? And it does this with all tunes? Maybe ask SCT to send you some other tunes? Are there any other electrical mods done to your truck? I find it hard to believe that the OBDII port is bad or there is a wiring fault.
