JL- I've never heard of that! (I'm still a newb when it comes to diesels/chips/programmers/etc/etc) :notworthy

Sounds like a real fail-safe security measure, but.... would that work on my '08? Seems like I remember reading somewhere that the '08s don't use "chips"? Secondly, wouldn't that be considered a programmer and void my warranty (you know Ford's already itchin' to find any excuse to save money)? If it is possible after all, that would be my next line of defense to consider purchasing!

Thanks to everyone for the support. Guess it's just one of those stupid human traits to ignore experienced advice and still think, "It'll NEVER happen to me!" :Lala Well, I have now been inducted into the "Theft experience" club- just glad it wasn't more damage than it was!

on the '08...no i dont believe so. anything newer than '03 (up to last 7.3L made) uses a handheld tuner. I'm not sure what you can do to have this built in for it. Maybe the SCT Livewire?
