I was talking with MPT and they said that SCT has recently found out that with the ecoboost you need to return to stock before switching tunes otherwise it could cause some driveability issues. They are working on a fix for it.

SCT resolved the "return to stock" issue to switch tunes.. A new update has been released. Use the updater PC software to update the tuner... After upgrade you can switch tunes without returning to stock.

I was just wondering cause I have the iTSX, but I didn't get it from 5 Star. I only got my custom tunes from there, but the iTSX I got for free from one of my commerical customers at work.

Nice little present to me!

I would suggest getting any updates done on the truck before getting the custom tunes completed on your truck. I personally didn't do that myself, but I am probably going to get my truck flashed sometime next week.

I want to do it just to have it updated cause I know they have it available due to some TSBs out right now.
