Did they call you?

I'm a bit worried. I had a message on my phone, didn't recognize the person when they started talking, so I deleted it.

Now I'm wondering if they may have called.

I got a text. Responded to the text asking for a good time to call, and they called me right then.

Looks like they want trucks with the stock tires, 3.5 Ecoboost, and no engine mods. If you do some towing, it's a plus. The dongle is just logging data and not putting any programming into the truck. Return them in 2 weeks and she (her name was Quinn) said I would then tell them if I wanted $150 through amazon or paypal. I'm probably gonna do amazon to pay for more truck stuff.

Thanks for the info! I'll do Amazon too, for the same reason you stated.
I'm glad they text, I got worried that I deleted their message.

Texted me yesterday, I HATE texting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Send me an email so I don't feel like I'm being summoned from someone who's afraid to talk man to man.
There, that's out!!!
Anyway, they're sending the donkey dongle to me, PayPal for me.

THey must be somewhat serious as they called about 2 minutes after I put in the initial request.

Seems they are full up on data for the 2.7L so I'm out. But I think the guy said they will keep my info if they do a follow up study.

Got the text/call yesterday as well. Mine will get plugged in once it arrives and I'll pocket the $150 to pay for mods or something.
