If your truck is a 95, the SCT won't work for you. OBDII only.

None of them will work on a 95! And do you have me in your ignore list or what? I've kindly asked the first few times to put all the info about your truck in your sig, or at least your profile, if your using a cell phone. There is only so much any of us can help guessing from your name.

Just go to the "user CP" button on the black bar up top, and add all info you wish to reveal.

No.

Tuners have usually a few different tunes, typically two or three. One is usually an 87 octane tune, one is a performance tune (usually 91 or 93 octane, depending on the tuner), and the third (if there is one) is usually a tune designed for towing.

Performance PCMs only have one tune, performance. It cannot really be changed, and it requires premium (91/92/93 octane) fuel.

Even after you buy it at $99, you'll have to pay a guy to program it for your truck. IIRC, Sean (hemifever) charges around $100-ish for that.

You'd best ask him before you potentially waste $99. The tuner itself is useless unless it is programmed for your exact computer. hemifever@aol.com
