There is a guy local to me bought a new 5.0, dropped number 8 first week, dealership replaced the engine, and he had full bolt-on's with a tune. Engine blew again on nitrous, they replaced it again.

I think if you pull the tuner out and return it to stock, it may be worth the try to get it fixed. The tune's are suppose to be pretty well hid if I am not mistaken.

Negative. They'll know if there was a tune on it previously.

Good catch, the pics are with FRPP K Springs.

It sits a tad lower than that now, alignment specs are -2.0* camber and 0 toe front.

Yes, they said it showed x# key cycles since last flash and voided motor warranty. Still fighting with them about that..

The trick is to pull the battery cable, then turn on the headlights and let it sit for an hour. Having the headlights on while the battery is disconnected will draw out the last bit of power in the system completely draining it and resetting everything.
