SCT Return to Stock

[TXbroker]

OK, last week I returned my truck to stock, while I was doing so I dropped the programmer and everything seemed ok.

My question is, how do I know I am in stock mode? is there a way to confirm?

Very important as I am about to take truck in for a few maintenece things.

Thanks,

[Andy]

when you plug the programmer in does it tell you?

[TXbroker]

it gives me all the normal options,
Install another program or return to stock.

I drove 400 miles this weekend with an 800'lb ATV and a 200 lb cooler in the bed and got 16MPG so I believe I am in stock mode, however droping the programer mid program makes me nervous

Hey andy,

1. less power, If you where running a power file.
2. It will state that you went to stock. i really cant remember on the xcal what it shows but i thought it says like it was done or somthing. I droped my liveWire on the concrete and it still works LOL there pretty stout. Ha.

Bingo I do not know how far along it was so I plugged it back in and returned to stock again.

If its running and feels like its on the stock file again you should be fine. I have herd horror stories about doing that mid file, but i would go into them, for fear of making you worrie about it, when there could be noting at all wrong. I feel if its running and feels stock then dont worrie about it. you should be fine.

ok, back to another question, is there anyway for the dealer to know you had the PCM reflashed from time to time?

Is there a log in the files showing you reprogrammed then retuirned to stock?

From what I understand if you take it back to stock and clear all the codes then drive it for so many miles not sure on the milage 100-150 you should be okay. Someone correct me if Im wrong?

[slammedSI]

yeah you had it right. Return to stock, unplug the battiers for a little while. and put abotu 250 miles on it. that way it removes the timperary memory.
