Great! Good to know. Apparently I misunderstood your, "we all know the answer". After reading you GDE reputation I assumed you meant the answer to be GDE. There goes that "assumed" getting me in trouble again.
However, I still don't get how your reply answered Parity's question of why do...
John,
We all know the fine reputation of GDE, what is the purpose of your post?
When you say, "How many in CA would have it if they could? I think we all know the answer.", you might be surprised.
Not only does SFT cost less, but SFT also has features that GDE does not have and some for...
They just can't accept that there's a tune besides GDE that is as good, maybe better. I had the GDE hot tune and it was great. That said, the longer I use my SFT tunes the more satisfied I am and their service is outstanding.

I thought I read where an owner (because of your posts?) did say his GDE tuned truck caught fire. The caveat was the fire was not caused by the tune, however, I don't think he said what caused the fire. And if I remember right, his post came up shortly after GDE said no GDE tuned trucks...
Didn't like the above layout and this site doesn't allow for pp, indents, etc so have att a Word doc that will make it easier to read. Same info as above but maybe easier to read. Oops, site doesn't allow a word doc attachment. So, converted to a PDF doc
Here's another great feature of the SFT ECM tune not available in the other tunes.
How to engage “TCS Off” or “ESC & TCS Off" with a Stock tune or the SFT tune:
STOCK TUNE:
2WD, 4WD AUTO
& 4WD LOCK ------ “TCS Off” - Press “Traction Control” switch whenever needed...
What John said plus:
My dealer has removed and reinstalled my stock and GDE tuned ECMs several times. The first time it was removed the bolts were "factory" tight, very hard to loosen. Those bolts have marks on them from the factory and the dealer - if you are really anal about it, install...
cds13ca,
Sorry if I misinterpreted your comment, "SKT slipping in ads to promote their product all the time" sounded like bashing to me. The other forum IMHO has gone way too far with their negative SFT comments and I assumed you were bringing more of the same to this forum.
I assumed...
This thread started about and discussed PPEI for 7 pages with no input from SFT. In the last 2 pages, I counted 4 "comments from people using SKT's" and zero "SKT slipping in ads". All of SFT's comments were responding to questions and merely extending their 20% discount for the posting...
Ram for Life asked, "How is the tune working for you now ? "
I thought he answered that, I know I saw his answer somewhere. Basically, his issues were all self-inflicted. That is, he forgot to install the TCM tune. Once he got it all corrected he was very satisfied with the SFT tunes and...
Wow! If that was due to the cover being removed (only 4 hours) mine should've melted the hood by now.
Hard to believe but can't refute the photo.
Cover & foam removal has been discussed extensively on another forum and there were no mentions of hood or paint damage due to the cover being...
I've had it off traveling the length of CA to OR in October heat at 80 mph and not seen any heat damage to the hood. If the engine could produce that much heat I would think it would melt the plastic engine cover.
I removed all my foam and the plastic engine cover. Did not cut the driver side, loosened the stuff holding it down. Took extra effort but worth saving it intact if ever sell or trade-in, can put back to stock condition.
Sorry, I have read a lot about deleting and have some knowledge but I have no experience with actually deleting so I cannot give you any valid answers. There are several posters who have deleted and can give you the right skinny.
If you don't get their replies, do a search across this and...
Hey Arkie
Looks like us old farts overuse our toys at the same rate.
My 2016 Ram Eco has 15,275, my Ford F350 6.0 diesel has 27,000, my 2005 Jeep Rubicon Rock Crawler has
25, 050 and my 1995 24' Robalo Cuddy with 250hp E-Tec has 190 hours, my 2000 30' Sunnybrook trailer has approx 9,000 miles...
I feel like I'm talking to the wall, GDE also got caught in a lie, called hin a clown - so unprofessional.
I guess you believe "BS" is also not a negative comment?
I'm done -
Cheers!
