PWRStrokeMaster Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I dont know about anyone else out there but I am sick of seeing people trying to scam ford by blowing there trucks up with modifications and then we have to replace heads, injectors and even engines so they can do it all over again. We all know there are pleanty of 6.0L vehicles out there with 6-guns, BD Power products and "Plug-n-Play" tuners on them. I am trying to find a more difinative way to prove the vehicle has a chip in it. If anyone runs accross a 6.0L that you either know has one or suspect has one, could you let me know what the Mode 9 data looks like. Since there are no codes to tell if it has a chip, I am looking for other ways to find this out. Thanks. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbup.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I believe there are a couple of ways. One involves looking at the programing code. There is another member here (wink-wink) that can help describe this to you and how to access this "special function" /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif for which you will need the "code of the day." Another HotLine engineer had mentioned to me that he has found that when a programmer has been used, the Mode-9 vehicle information may contain garbled characters that resemble Chinese writing in, around or replacing the calibration number or file name. I personally have seen this around the calibration file name. I don't know just how correct and official this info is. I guess the only real way to determine this is to get virgin truck and install a program into the PCM and compare your findings before and after.
