Remove it, or insist on standing there to watch what they do. At least set it stock, if you haven't already thought of that.

I had the cruise harness and CPS recall done to mine and that was all they touched,about 20 minutes and was on my way
And since I already had a grey CPS they gave me the old one for a spare

Put a padlock through the OBD port. Give me a few minutes and i'll find a link to the one post about it.

EDIT: Post #12 describes how to do it. My padlocks were too short to go through the entire plug so I ended up putting one through the top half and the other through the bottom. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...ssues-now.html

Another vote for the baby padlock on the OBD port if you can't stand right next to them. I still need to get both my vehicles done..

when they did mine, it took all of about 35 minutes including the oil change.

when the tech got done and fired the truck up, everyone in the service dept stopped what they were doing, cause i forgot to reset it, and i was on 80 econo.

needless to say, with the big exhaust it was kind of loud.
