I think the OP got owned and ran away with his tail between his legs


it would be nice but don't expect him to post the resolution to his issue unless it is the tune

IT WAS JUST A COIL, so they get in the truck and take a drive and hear the noise and have no explanation. then they call and ask if i had it hooked up to a computer. i said ya a buddy works in a shop and i tried to read any codes, which was true. he said the computer was throwing a code but it was erased, i think when i made adjustments to the program that justin told me to make the code was erased. i have no idea if the coils are effected by the program i just asked justin, no matter the dealership was cool and just fixed it. he told me he has no explanation for the sound i was hearing, and he heard it to. they said #1 was weak,coil. and 1,2,5 plugs were fouled?? not sure why others were bad i think they all run on same circutand one made them all screwed up. im glad im wrong for the people talkin crap and dont care. this is here now and wont go away because sonner or later it will happen again and maybe this will help next guy. still a little suspicious of the program just because i dont know enough to say one way or another it wasnt involved. and no im not just going to take someone elses word unless they are pros. she is pretty slow stock though, but i dont mind right now. thanks for some help to the guys who tried.

This is great news for you my friend. However, again, it sounded like a pre-exissting condition made worse. There was no need to flame Justin.

I think we should all learn a little something from this ordeal.

Will you be tuning it at all soon?

You most certainly weren't portraying innocent before proven guilty with your tune. I'm not going to start quoting lines, I've read the thread.

Good Luck with your tune/truk.

I'm glad it all got taken care of.

As to how you presented the problem, I still se eit as a little accusatory towards Justin BUT it appears as if you and Justin are cool now so there is no need for the rest of to have an issue if Justin does not.

Again Congrats on getting your truck back on the road.
