As if I wasn't paranoid before Big Brother is watching!! It's ok mattB it's only something they are toying with at the moment.Looks like it may be too expensive a system to have on all vehicles.May be reserved for the High end vehicles(LTD & Fairlane) similar to what Holden(oops,can I say that word here?)have on there prestige vehicles.

Yep, those of us that want to mod our chips and not tell Ford about them in fear of losing our warranty have a lot to fear. Oh well, I wonder if I can turn my T into a Stealth.........where is that grinder, got to remove those edges.........Damn, no good. Sattelite is too clever, time to toss out that ECU. :banghead: Edited 08/12/03 04:21 AM by XR6T4ME Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/7780-i-got-a-standing-ovation/page/3/#findComment-72316 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ran roughly for 20 secs and came good. No one at Ford has been able to help me with this. If it keeps it up its going..........its the second motor I have had.Dallas.

Adam Here since the start...
