$89-Need Some Advice
I'll make this short and get right to the point, please offer any advice. This is an 05 F150 with and Edge Programmer.
The truck was taken to dealer w/o returning the truck to stock tune. The truck was on level 2. The truck was reflashed and we all know this is bad news. The truck came home in stock tune with the Edge reading level 2. Like an idiot, I put the edge back to stock tune. The truck did not crank of course. The truck was taken back to the dealership, entire ECU had been erased and the stock tune was re-loaded (for 89 bucks) and now everything is fine and stock. I don't want to have to go through that again!
Question: Can I use my edge now? Is it just like this never happened, and can I just plug the edge up and proceed as normal i.e. load my tune back on? Is the Edge now damaged in some way, or unusable?
Thanks a lot for taking a look!

If they re programmed your factory ECU with the factory settings, your edge will now copy those settings and store it, and replace it with its own settings for whichever tune you choose, rather economy, towing/transmission, 92 performance. You are good to go. Just follow the directions of the Edge programmer and you will be OK. No need to contact edge. The only reason that would not work is if, when they reburned your ecu, that the setting caused the edge go in lock mode because it could not recognize. If you plug your edge in, and its unlocked. You WILL be ok.

I'm saying NO the edge will not tune your truck. You may be able to get the guys at Edge to unlock the unit via the Fusion software but they may have you send it in. When the truck was flashed the Edge tune was lost and the programmer should be "vin locked" If you hook it up and it works though, good for you. Post back some results.

I always wondered about that. Ive brought my 05 in to the dealer with it set to stock, and when I picked it up it was on level 3. I made the service manager aware of this. I was running level 3 myself, so I did have a tank full of 93. But if I hadnt they could have caused problems.

You've made 3 mistakes.
1. Never take it to a dealer with a tune loaded, you just discovered why.
2. If the PCM is reflashed, you should never try to download a tune, as the Edge already has your original stock tune and will only get confused with a second stock tune. You must call Edge and get them to unlock it, clear out the tune you have sitting in the 0 position.
3. You should never circumvent the language filter, regardless of your frustration. Especially in a title.

funny thing - had my van flashed other day to solve issue with cel coming on for 10 seconds and going out , also my gauges would be dead for 10 seconds then power up,this was every time after a start,put my xcal 2 in - returned to stock before they did flash, after getting my truck back was able to run all my custom tunes still-so, explain to me why...
