Put your ear on the doorstep, you should heard the big brown truck rolling soon.

I faxed on 2/6 and received confirmation papperwork was rcvd on 2/7.
Just got an email tonight with a UPS tracking #. I checked the tracking and Dale Jarret is on the way with an ETA of 3/8 by the way.

I liked the Edge, but I don't like reflashing my PCM every other day..and I wanted a tuner thats Plug & Play...I didn't want to tune my own truck...
and after this last round of no starts, just confirms to me its not ready for the market...

I think you'll be pleasantly suprised... It'll be worth the wait.

I know what you are going thru. I ran stock for a about 5 days and it was terrible. You will like what the X-Cal2 and Mike's tuning will do for your truck.

Yes, i'm in the same boat, being shipped to the shop, and I work on the road (mobile glass installer) so I can't drool on it intil I get in later that evening.....

ya, when I traded the 05 for the 06, had to get Mike to reprogram the tunes for the new pcm code. Got mine back in Feb. It was tough driving the stock tune, but it was during the initial 1000 mile break in period so it wasn't so bad. These trucks have absolutely NO midrange or high range power without the tune. - I have run nothin but the 93 octane tune perf tune from the day the little brown truck delivered it. Been real pleased with the base line tune and really have no interest in data logging. Maybe when in Virginia for a wedding this fall will take a trip to see Mike and get it tweeked, but for a 4x4 truck, it sure runs it's a$$ off now...

Hi F150Truck'in,

Hang in there, it won't be long now - we're getting them knocked out just as quickly as possible. In fact, I was going thru the stack of CPW's, and noticed that, for example, just on 2/7 alone we had a couple dozen people send their CPW's in on that one day! Some days see none, and some days see dozens, and everything in between - funny how it works - so we just do them in the order them come in, as quickly as we can.

I think you are going to be very pleasantly surprised at the results, and happy you made the choice you did - and thanks for your patience, I know it's hard running on the stock tune, but it's the nature of true custom tuning versus any "off the shelf" type of product.

Thanks for your post, & hang in there!

If it helps you with the waiting, UPS had mine on the local truck for delivery today but I have seen hide nor hair of them. I saw FedEx about 11:30am.

It's presently 8:24pm and the UPS tracking status is still CLEARWATER, FL, US 03/08/2006 8:39 A.M. OUT FOR DELIVERY
