atleast this is how I think it is. I could be wrong though.

I just got through with my SCT dealer charging me $100 for clearing/reprogramming my xcal2. He said that the only other way was to send it to SCT and they would charge me $175. Not sure how accurate that was, but I paid the money because he spent about 4 hours just trying to deal with it. My truck was reflashed by Ford a few months ago which I assume gave me a new strategy. After that the tunes still worked but it didn't want to cold start on a tune. I'm trying to dig up a little knowledge on this subect matter and I think I may have been able to accomplish the same thing by unlocking my xcal2 myself. Any body else have advice with this??
