This is not true the only thing that they see is some codes if you don't run threw the drive cycles that removes the codes and your f**ked. NO BLACK BOX.

Go to a dealer and tell them you replace your flywheel and need a crank relearn. It will take all of 10min to do but they will probly charge .5 to do it.

I spoke with JDM the other day and they said the same exact thing. The PCM will only show a code (same as resetting the battery p1000), and the reason why people get screwed is cause you cant blow cyl#8 and go through the proper amount of driving cycles with a blown motor. This is just what they were telling me, but he said there is nothing different on these new PCM's other than it stores the code and more info on how the car was running
So your saying you can remove the after market tune,reinstall the stock tune and drive thru all the drive cycles and ford can not detect that you ever had a after market tune?That is great news if that is true.
It's not true. The general consensus is that Ford IS going to be able to tell if you've tuned your car.
The P1000 thing is true. Look at the TSB warning dealers about aftermarket tunes and read the trouble tree. It advises the tech to look for a P1000 DTC. This code is only set after the PCM KAM memory is wiped (after a reflash or power removal) or monitors are reset. I'm not saying that they can't figure it out somewhere else, like the GEM for the DLC, just that the P1000 code is a real thing.
When I pulled the tranny to install my converter, I replaced the flexplate with out a problem.....do I need a crank re-learn?
Yes this very true a week of normal driving should do the trick.
Yes and no it is possible that you got it back to the same spot but i would not test it. I would got a crank relearn.

That I'm not sure of. I'm not an ASE mechanic, nor have I been trained on the coyote engine. However, considering there was a crank re-learn on my transmission replacement, that's a telling sign. If techs are doing it after major repairs, it might at least warrant looking at.
I would say yes; a dead giveaway is if you get a mis-fire.
I had two trannies replaced now and they forgot BOTH TIMES to do this; from this I had 3 different mis-fire occurrences and all of them were during higher RPMs while in gear... like merging with umph. One even while the dealer had it in their hands.
I know what I am talking about and have seen facts so do not spread misinformation lets hear facts.
Basically what you said is true. The code will pop up if its tuned (same code as resetting the battery), but in order to clear it "as if it wasnt tuned" you would need to complete the proper driving cycles on the stock tune this way all the info from the stock tune is shown on the PCM.
Only thing that sucks is, how do you drive approx 100mi with a blown cylinder
Well I won't be going in detail on that on the INTERNET
99.9%stock is correct.
if you are worried, get a wideband.
if you are worried, get a wideband.
I was told by a friend that has 3 cars with dead cyl 8 that they count key cycles now
I would say yes; a dead giveaway is if you get a mis-fire.

Its got about 1500 miles on it and about 30 passes at the track on the bottle since then. So I dunno. :shrug:
What are major first indicators your number 8 may be going?
sorry for the dumb question
