I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AGAIST A FIRMWARE UPDATE AT THIS POINT !!!!

BEWARE of SCT 6.0 Flash

Truck running great? Think you may wanna 'tinker' with it to get a little more power or fuel mileage ? BEWARE of what "COULD" happen. Although I am sure there are 1000's of users who have successfuly used this with good results just beware of what can happen. It seems SCT is having 'firmware issues' in their products. Most of their dealers will give you a heads up to this and advise you DO NOT UPDATE your firmware. If you DO DECIDE to update your firmware and perform a tunes download I suggest you be sitting outside a FORD service garage. BECAUSE THE UNIT CAN NOT RETURN THE TRUCK TO STOCK. SCT dismall customer support will eat your time like Washington eats our tax dollars. Eventually the will blame it on your 'faulty' ECM (truck computer) that was running perfectly before they abandone you and no longer take your calls. I BLAME MYSELF for tinkering with an amazing running machine. To 'laugh at myself' I started this website so we can all have a pity party

SCT KILLED MY FORD victims site....................

Scepticle of this ? I suggest you GOOGLE the following words in any combination:

SCT ECU FRIED
SCT PCM FRIED
SCT ECU DAMAGE
SCT PCU DAMAGE
SCT PROGRAM FAIL
SCT FORD DAMAGE
