It ran just as smooth as new home. I stopped, launched it, redlined it, all that good stuff. Performed fine, blew through 1st and part of 2nd. That's not to say the plug issue won't return.

Yep, it does fall within the TSB and most trucks that seem impacted exhibit issues before 20k which yours did IIRC. Makes me think there is something else at play here then just the tune. I personally wouldn't be surprised if you continue to experience issues. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Dome and gloom?
Or reality
Got a borescope...then you have to pull the turbo for mechanical inspection..
You think those SP pieces escaped without harm? on the first stroke of the piston...
Possibly but NOT likely...
How many engines you worked on this high tech that you have been into? since you seem to know..wow..

My opinion.
I don't think they can, not at the dealership. I'm only echoing what the guys that write these tunes have told me. They (Livernois and 2 local shops) know the pcm well enough to do what they do, so they should know whether or not the dealer has the capability to read historical changes. As stated, I don't doubt the Ford engineers could mess around and figure it out but not the local stealership. The motor definitely isn't blown or anything. It wasn't smoking, knocking, ticking, or even throwing any current codes. It was just bucking at cruise speed, had an oiled intercooler, etc. I see them replacing the turbo(s), intercooler, plugs, and calling me to pick it up honestly. With all that said, the total opposite is always possible, I just don't see it happening.
Hi, as a retired dealer Mechanic, Service Advisor, and Shop Foreman, I find it appalling that you modify your truck, experiment with it, drag race it Etc. Then hide your tune, expect Ford to fix it for you, for free, and refer to them as a stealership. Sounds more like you are the Stealer customer.
