Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

[QUOTE="Mapster429, post: 16660725, member: 161084"] This tuner I found is with a reputable shop down South. I don't want to name him but he's written A LOT about Coyote tuning - very technical stuff - and he specializes with Fords. But I'm no expert with tuning so it's hard for me to evaluate his writings - but he really seems to know his stuff. He actually wanted me to get an SCT to put his tune on the car and collect logs, but then he also wanted me to ship him the ECU. I offered to buy a spare off ebay and send him that but he said I'd have to swap keys to match serial #'s so it's a whole thing. Bottom line - I think he's legit but like others said - I'm just not comfortable shipping out my ECU and don't see why it's necessary in 2021. Plus the car's a daily and it would be down the whole time - maybe weeks. And God forbid the ECU got lost or damaged... As for LUND, LOL - I have a LUND tune, and nGague - brand new never installed. Spent about $700 with them. This problem arose just as I got the Lund stuff. I wanted to get it fixed before I put their tune on. Some local mustang techs couldn't diagnose it so I put the drivetrain back to 100% stock (except GT500 mufflers) and took it to a Ford Dealer. They flashed it but couldn't find any problem either and suggested to try replacing the cats then try the ECU. I'm not gunna spend thousands on guesses. So I contacted Lund for help. LUND wanted nothing to do with helping me diagnose this problem. Won't review a log - won't have a technical dialogue - won't give me any advice whatsoever. Even if their tune is on the car! I get it's "my car - my problem" but I'm also a customer who just spent $$$ with them and I got a problem I cant fix in their area of expertise. Ya can't take a minute to look at some logs or offer any advice? IDK, very surprising and disappointing. Thanks for all the replies. [/QUOTE]
