Hi

Recently I brought sct sf3 installed on my 2012 fx4 initially it runs very well, after some time. I found these issues.

1. It messes the meter, wrong gas level and mileage.
2. Buring smell from the A/C's
3. Engine sounds wierd.
4. Change shift makes loud noises from the bottom of truck
5. Shudder problem started only when installed sct tuner.
6. The biggest thing on a redlight rear wheels didn't spin.
7. I went back to stock and my trucks runs without any problem. I changed my exhaust,aero4040 and and airaid filter increased my torque. Right now I am @4000.
8. Dont every try to use sct sf3 on ecoboost 2012 fx4. Dont listen to bluffing ads.after all its your truck.

My Ford Service guy basically told me, who do you think has the better software, Ford, who spent millions with a team of the very best engineers out there, or a guy or two on their own in some garage somewhere. Made sense to me.
they have done this stock as well
