Hi Mike or any one in the know. I understand that some of the last XCAL2 now have the end user ability enabled. Is the utility ready to download for those of us that just missed it on our units... Thanks.........

As far as timeframe, we should be seeing it soon - they are still doing further testing, and it's one of those things where you just don't know when you're done until you're done - like any R&D project. We've been told anywhere from 1-4 weeks. Ford has so many different styles of PCM's with numerous different file sizes & the differing formats of the tuning files in terms of all the many different database & executable revisions that continue to come hot & heavy, etc., that it really takes a lot of work to make the one same utility software work on all of them - especially these F-150's with their 1472 Oak PCM's & so many different strategies. We had hoped to see it by now, but we'd much rather see it delayed & right, rather than rushed & problematic - you know how that goes.
As soon as it's ready, we'll make sure to let everyone know ASAP!
