How cold is to cold!

Well temps are starting to hover around the freezing mark here in the great white north Canada. Is there a safe/unsafe temp to do a flash to your PCM. Im running level 2 on my edge and im going to flash it back to stock so as i can connect my Xcal 3 to retrieve my strategy code for Crystal. Is it safe to do this at these temps?

Still in the 80's here in Austin, tho the temp is expected to PLUMMET all the way down to the 50's by Thanksgiving morning!! BRRRRRRRRRR



Actually I think what I read in the Xcal instructions said recommened not to change tunes if the temp is below freezing.. Though it also said that if ya need to then just run the truck up to temp then flash away..

It's normal for the lcd to be affected by cold weather, but it's not going to hurt your truck. It's just sitting there monitoring PIDs. It should get better as the interior warms up.

NOTHING!!!! Not even an e-mail. Tomorrow is 8 weeks. People are saying they are getting there tunes in 6-7 weeks now but I just hit 8 weeks, I just dont understand. What are you going to do. I think its time to go shopping for a 50-60'' lcd tv to get my mind off of this tuner.
