The device is the same as 5-star but he process is different. They take you VIN and you plug the device in the motorhome and they get the strategy code that Ford put into engine's control and diagnostic chip. They then email you a custom file that goes into their device through a USB cord and from the device into the engine (it comes with a cord to connect it to the diagnostic chip). Even more interesting, he mentioned that a recent customer passed CA emissions tests after doing the tuning. If you need to reset their is no period of adjustment necessary before smog. |
That is the same process as 5-Star: Get the calibration # out out of the engine computer (ECU) and send that to 5-Star. They then send you a file that the programmer flashes into the ECU.
