Switching stock flashes

Hello, my original flash is vxcf4 and my truck was just at the dealer for ARP studs and it now has vxcf9.

How do i put VXCF4 back on to my sct to put on my truck?

Thank you

When I click "transfer file to device" on the "SCT Device Updater" I select the file but a window pops up and states "stock.lbu File Is Not Valid For This Device. Please Obtain a Correctly Formatted LBU File For Your Vehicle."

Even if I try and put on the new flash from Ford it will say the same thing. I have both flashes saved on my computer

You cannot go "back" on factory flashed, just give eric a buzz and tell him you have a new stratagy so he can send you the new tune.

You can also contact your tuner or Power Hungry Performance about reflashing the older stock tune to your PCM.

I have been all over that thread, no luck. I am trying not to put out more money for tunes than I already have. I am just trying to figure out a way to change my stock tune myself.
