The good, the bad....
The good:
Installed the DP Tuner today....
Getting that 10mm bolt was a chore and a half though.... definitely worth the scrapes and headache though...WOW..... I took my indy shop owner for a spin after and he was mucho impressed...said it was like hitting a nitrous switch going from stock to 80 econ.... can't even imagine what the 140 race tune would be like
The bad:
Went in to see if the dealership would re-flash the computer for the 35" tires.... apparantly the only tire setting that the Canadian Ford ICT computer has for Excursions is stock... they couldn't do a thing for me...
a silver lining though, they didn't charge me for the time the scanner was on the truck which I thought was decent of them.
I do have a question though... what programmers can re-flash my tire size for me... Edge.. SCT? I will probably try and find someone local that has one and get them to do my truck for me.... I don't want to buy a programmer just for that.

SCT can't do it. I got the Superchips Flashpaq - Part # 1846 and it works great. I know some others that have spliced into the speedo cable and manually adjusted it according to their GPS with another electronic do-hicky but I've got better things to do. Also, if you change tire size in the future, you can change it accordingly.
By the way...Ratt X is looking killer!

I thought about the same thing when I lifted my truck, only to find out that it has something to do with the ABS controller on the rear diff and that the SCT couldn't program for that. If I had a 6.0 right now, my speedo would be dead on...
