First time post....I have a 2001 XC70 and would like to know if there is a way to have this message deleted. I took the vehicle to a local independent shop and they found a loose wire under the seat, fixed it and we should be good to go...however, they don't have the right computer probe/equipment to erase the code....anyway to do it without having to drive to the Twin Cities? I'm in Fargo ND.
My 2003 v70 has the same warning. Where did they find the loose wire?
Get a bootleg DICE unit shipped to your house and clear/diagnose it yourself.
Srs-AIRBAG service urgent, check engine light, then lost oil.


What a Great and Gracious God we serve! Praise His Holy Name!
Wednesday we saw the oncologist for the 3rd time. He said I have " good news". As he compared once again Dolly's recent CT scan to her last one of March 22, he is so pleased with continued reduction in the tumors that he feels there is no immediate need for further treatment. He went on to say when treatment is necessary he will recommend hormone therapy again. He believes that since Dolly had radiation and chemo that the cancer has weakened to the point that the tumors could be responsive to this type of treatment. He also mentioned that a new chemo drug would be "kept in our back pockets". It was also revealed that the blood clots inDolly's lungs have dissipated. Though she is still susceptible to clotting and will have to continue the blood thinning injections. Clotting is also a side affect to hormones drugs. We will know more when we saw the anticoagulant doctor tomorrow. Dolly is still under strict travel limitations.
Thank you all for your prayers. We love all of you very much.

Hazard Watch articles
Hazard Watch: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the workplace
PAHs are a family of organic compounds that occur naturally in coal, crude oil and gasoline. While the risk of exposure to them in the general population is low, they remain a risk in some workplaces.
Marcus Hampson, Business Development Support Assistant
There are several hundred PAHs, and they are present at low levels in the general environment. They are a class of chemicals that are commonly emitted in vehicle exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke, wood smoke and fumes from asphalt roads. Naphthalene is also a manmade PAH to make other chemicals and mothballs.
Exposure to PAHs in the workplace
Workers in or near facilities that use petroleum or coal, or where oil, wood, food and waste are burned, have a higher likelihood of exposure to PAHs. You could also be exposed if your workplace produces petroleum, asphalt, coal tar or aluminium. Exposure can arise via skin contact with contaminated soil or products like creosote, roofing tar and heavy oils. You could also be exposed to PAHs. by consuming contaminated food and water, but they most commonly enter the body through our lungs, as we breathe in polluted air. Other symptoms of long-term PAH exposure include lung damage, breathing problems, skin irritation, a weakened immune system and heart disease.
Of the hundreds of known PAHs, 16 have been designated High Priority Pollutants by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These 16 PAHs are of environmental concern because of their potential toxicity in humans and other organisms and their prevalence and persistence in the environment. They include:
Naphthalene
Acenaphthylene
Acenaphthene
Fluorene
Phenanthrene
Anthracene
Fluoranthene
Pyrene
Benzo[A]Anthracene
Chrysene
Benzo[B]Fluoranthene
Benzo[K]Fluoranthene
Benzo[A]Pyrene
Benzo[G,H,I]Perylene
Indeno[1,2,3-C,D]Pyrene
Dibenz[A,H]Anthracene
Our expertise in PAH analysis and prevention
Employers have a responsibility to provide a safe environment for their workers, this involves preventing exposure to PAHs where possible. They must implement control measures, such as appropriate personal protective equipment and Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Systems to ensure the risk of harm is as low as reasonably practicable.
Our Manchester laboratory offer a suite of analysis for PAHs in air samples. We use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GS-MS) to determine concentrations with a limit of detection of just 0.1ug. This allows employers to accurately identify whether PAHs are likely to pose a risk to their employees, helping to guide decision making on how to prevent and control exposure to create a safer workplace.

Létoile de Luyten (GJ 273) est une naine rouge située dans la constellation du Petit Chien à une distance d'environ 12,37 années-lumière. Elle a environ un quart de la masse du Soleil, un dixième de son diamètre et une très faible fraction de sa luminosité (0,0004 fois la luminosité solaire). Elle est nommée d'après Willem Jacob Luyten, qui détermina son mouvement propre.

Système planétaire
En , deux planètes ont été découvertes en orbite autour de l'étoile de Luyten.

La planète extérieure, GJ 273 b, est une super-Terre gravitant au sein de la zone habitable de l'étoile. Elle a une masse de 2,89 ± 0,26  et orbite à une distance de 0,09110 ± 0,00002 UA, bouclant sa période orbitale en 18,650 ± 0,006 jours. Compte tenu du fait que la planète réside sur le bord intérieur de la zone habitable, le flux incident y est de seulement 1,06 , en conséquence il est possible qu'elle soit habitable si de l'eau et une atmosphère y sont présentes ; selon les valeurs de l'albédo, sa température d'équilibre (vue de l'espace) peut être comprise entre 206 et 293 K (soit entre -67 et 20 °C).

La planète intérieure, GJ 273 c (Luyten c), est l'une des exoplanètes les plus légères détectées par la méthode des vitesses radiales, avec une masse de seulement 1,18 ± 0,16 masse terrestre. Cependant, elle orbite à une distance rapprochée de son étoile, avec une période orbitale de seulement 4,7234 ± 0,0004 jours.

GJ 273 b est l'une des planètes connues les plus proches de notre Système solaire, résidant dans la zone habitable de son étoile.

Signaux envoyés
En , « Sónar Calling GJ 273b », un projet du  (Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence) et de Sónar, un festival de musique basé à Barcelone, a transmis une série de signaux radio vers l'étoile de Luyten depuis l'antenne radar , en Norvège.

Eavesdropping On The Ward | The Perks of Having Cancer!
First of all, I am not one to share my living space with strangers. So anytime I have had to stay in the hospital, I have opted for a private room. Since my latest stay was an emergency, however, there were no private rooms available so I was forced to stay with the common folk. I know….I know….Beyonce would never put up with that, and I am in the process of writing a stern letter to the hospital administration.
Woman: I don't want the IV type of chemo, I want the pill. Mavis took the pill and she didn't even lose her hair. I'll just tell the doctor to give me the pill. I'm sure it's all the same.
Man: Now Mother, don't be hasty. I've heard that if you eat lots of corn while your hair is growing back, it will come in all yellow and curly. Maybe you should take the IV so you will get nicer hair.
(An actual conversation between a 70ish year old woman and her fifty-something son).
Woman 1: IF SOMEONE DON'T GET ME SOME #@%#%)*(^^%^%^$t^@ DRUGS SOON, I'M GONNA BLOW THIS PLACE UP!
Woman 2: Calm down, Shelly. It is your own fault. If you hadn't been so drunk last night, you never would have fallen and broken your arm in the first place.
Woman 1: I'VE BEEN HERE FOR NEARLY 12 HOURS AND IF I DON'T GET OUTTA HERE SOON I'M GONNA STRANGLE SOMEONE WITH THIS @^%$**^&^%%%^$$ I.V. CORD!
Me: Excuse me lady, but that curtain does not stop noises from crossing over to my side of the room…..nor does it stop smells!
Hilarious! Thanks for making me laugh. Hope you're on the mend.
This is hilarious…but what the #$% are you doing laying around in the hospital when you should be working on your book!! Lazy….goofing off….woman.
That first conversation is chemo-room gold! I just wish someone had told me about this corn and golden hair thing. How nice would that have been? 😉 Glad to see that you found some humour in the emergency room.
Well that's my laugh for the day 🙂 You still have your sense of humor even in sickness and that's a good thing. Glad you are on the mend.
I will shoot that corn theory to hell right now. While going through the IV chemo there wasn't much I could keep down only cream corn, Guess what??? My hair never did come back ……yellow, black, white or green. Nothing. So corn certainly didn't work for me. Oh wait……maybe it was corn niblets and not cream corn. lol Hope you are feeling better and out of the hospital soon. Take care.
Well now, Janet, any old fool knows that creamed corn causes permanent baldness, whereas niblets will turn you in to Goldilocks!
Holy smokes! Well, at least you are laughing. Hope you are feeling better! Thankfully, my hospital doesn't do shared rooms…never had the pleasure of such entertaining reality.
So what do you think a good slice of ryebread everyday will get you hair wise? Thanks for the laugh, Hope you're feeling better.

The Responsible Investor Awards recognise those who contribute to promoting and developing investment best practice.
Prompted by a growing number of reports stressing the negative impacts of palm oil production, financial experts first called upon the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) back in 2013, given our collaborative conservation work with the industry. These signals raised awareness of the need for more responsible investment in sectors with high deforestation risks.
Since then, SPOTT has grown to provide detailed Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) assessments of 50 palm oil companies. SPOTT assessments focus on what producers and traders publicly disclose their operations and sustainability commitments. ZSL is now expanding SPOTT to assess timber, pulp and paper companies in October 2017.
The Responsible Investor Awards recognise those who contribute to promoting and developing investment best practice. For its 2017 edition, Responsible Investor magazine inaugurated a new award for Innovation and Industry Leadership. This new award came with a special category for service providers. It includes non-profit organisations, acknowledging that the sector can benefit from external research.
SPOTT is shortlisted for this new award and the results will be revealed on 6 June 2017. Making the shortlist of this award is a welcome signal of an ever growing interest from asset owners, asset managers and banks. Together with other financial service providers, they have been showing increased care in ensuring that their investment decisions do not negatively impact the environment and local communities.
The SPOTT team hopes that this encourages more users to engage with us on their commodity sectors practice.
*Update 06/06/2017: the SPOTT team congratulates IIGCC and 2° Investing Initiative (2°ii) for their work and for winning the award, and CDP for being chosen as a runner up.

Updated: 1. oktobra, 2018
CHARLY TRIBALLEAU/AFP/Getty Images
British authorities were forced to destroy over 100,000 pounds of onions which were "contaminated" by illegal migrants discovered hiding in delivery lorries. Border Force officials discovered more than twenty illegal migrants who identified themselves as being from Afghanistan, Albania, Iran, and Iraq — all Muslim-majority countries — in two separate incidents in the Port of Poole, the Dorset Echo reports.
"In June 2017 and January 2018, a total of 47,000 kilograms of onions were surrendered at the Port of Poole following the discovery of clandestine migrants in two vehicles that were being used to transport the goods," explained Peter Haikin, the Borough of Poole's Regulatory Services Manager.

Florence Nightingale Celebration
Dawson Creek Auxiliary members Sandra, Lorraine, Fran and Helen prepare and set up their annual Florence Nightingale Celebration. This is a time to reflect and honour our nurses for the outstanding care they give to our patients, each and every day. In the 1800s, during the Crimean War, Miss Nightingale was responsible for giving nursing a favorable reputation as she bravely made rounds of wounded soldiers during the night. She was known as the "Lady with the Lamp." In 1860, Miss Nightingale established her nursing school at St. Thomas Hospital in London. She therefore laid the foundation of professional nursing. It was the first secular nursing school in the world. I have no "nursing" background and, therefore, went to Wikipedia and discovered that this lady was a wonderful pioneer and an advocate for nurses everywhere. And so each year we remember Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, as we celebrate and honor nurses everywhere.

Daring to Dream Big to Save Babies
This year, the Dawson Creek and District Auxiliary Society of Local Health Care dared to dream big… REALLY BIG! What if we could collect 350 knitted and crocheted purple baby caps to donate to the Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome BC – CLICK for Babies Campaign? This number was specially selected because it represents the annual number of babies born in the South Peace. If we were going to reach our goal, we would need help. So, we challenged all South Peace area knitters and crocheters to make one or more purple baby caps for us this year. We also asked the public to donate purple wool for the caps.
Just as we were preparing to kick off this year's challenge, our Auxiliary Gift Shop suffered major water damage from a burst pipe. With our shop closed for repairs, we no longer had a drop-off location for the little caps. We needed a small miracle. Without any hesitation, the owners of Faking Sanity came to our rescue. They offered to be our purple baby cap drop off location. Their shop regularly hosts knitting and crocheting evenings and workshops, and they sell yarn and all sorts of knitting accessories too. We couldn't have asked for a better partnership.
On September 5, 2019, we packed up 374 little purple baby caps and mailed then to the BC Children's Hospital. Our little caps will join a collection of over 10,000 purple baby caps that have been gathered from across the province as part of the CLICK for Babies Campaign. This public awareness campaign focuses on raising awareness about normal increased infant crying and the dangers of reacting in frustration by shaking or harming an infant. The purple baby caps are redistributed by the BC Children's Hospital in November and December along with PURPLE Crying program materials to all BC birthing hospitals and community health units.
Since the CLICK for Babies Campaign public education program launched in BC in 2009, there has been a 35 percent reduction of the number of children, under the age of two, admitted to BC hospitals with shaking-related injuries. For more information visit: https://dontshake.ca/click-for-babies/. We would like to thank everyone who contributed their time, talent and wool to this challenge. Special thanks to Cindy and Lou from Faking Sanity for their support.

St. John Hospital Auxiliary Society would like to send out a HUGE Thank-You to the NVSA-Sporting Clays Club. The Club donated $7,000 that was raised through the 2019 "Take a Shot at Cancer" fundraiser, now in its sixth year. The club is proud of its fundraiser and has been strongly supported by the Integris Credit Union which has now committed to a three-year funding support of the program. This support will include promotion and onsite help from staff of the Vanderhoof Branch on an annual basis. The "Take a Shoot at Cancer" program would not be successful without the strong support of the Vanderhoof business community led by Omineca Source for Sports and the Four Rivers Co-op as major contributors, but it is also the many other businesses in our community that have supported us on an annual basis. NVSA-Sporting Clays is proud of the fact that with our $7,000 donation, we have now contributed over $46,000 in the past six years with the money going to the St. John Hospital Auxiliary for the Oncology Ward at the hospital.

Awww, how they grow up so fast! Before becoming the anti-droning, mansplaining GOP presidential candidate with a lick-happy political director we so enjoy today, Rand Paul was just a lil' Kentucky GOP Senate nominee squirming under the bright lights of national media attention.
Paul had just become the subject of a media firestorm after giving an interview with the Louisville Courier-Journal. In it, he expressed opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, explaining that no federal civil-rights law should bar businesses from racial discrimination.
"In a free society, we will tolerate boorish people who have abhorrent behavior," he said at the time.
People were furious -- but, mostly, deeply confused -- by these comments. (So you do abhor racism but you wouldn't have voted for the Act?) This is when Rachel Maddow stepped in and invited the newly minted Senate Republican nominee onto her MSNBC show. She wanted to give him the chance to amend some of his troubling comments. But, no. Things just got worse and worse and worse.
"Well, there's 10 -- there's 10 different -- there's 10 different titles, you know, to the Civil Rights Act," he said, stumbling. "...and nine out of 10 deal with public institutions and I'm absolutely in favor of. One deals with private institutions, and had I been around, I would have tried to modify that."
This comment would come sandwiched between many instances of racism-denying. His opposition to the Act was in no way motivated by race, he suggested, but issues of "free speech."
"Should we limit speech from people we find abhorrent? Should we limit racists from speaking?" Paul asked Maddow. "I don't want to be associated with those people, but I also don't want to limit their speech in any way in the sense that we tolerate boorish and uncivilized behavior because that's one of the things freedom requires is that we allow people to be boorish and uncivilized, but that doesn't mean we approve of it."
Ah, yes. Is it starting to make sense now why Paul, the now-presidential nominee, decided to keep so quiet when Gov. Mike Pence was embroiled in a national controversy around the anti-gay Religious Freedom Restoration Act?
Paul issued what amounted to a "no comment" when asked about RFRA back in April. A rep of Paul's PAC said that the senator was "out of pocket with family and not doing any media all week long," when The Hill pried more.

Hundreds of handmade poppies crafted by Dubbo residents will join in the thousands on display at the Australian War Memorial. The poppies were started by Lynn Berry and Margaret Knight. They planned to crochet 120 poppies to plant at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne for Remembrance Day 2013 to honour their fathers. The idea quickly grew and thousands of poppies were sent in from across Australia and the world. Dubbo residents also embraced the trend, knitting and sewing the red flowers to decorate the Victoria Park cenotaph. Now, 62,000 poppies have been used in a display at the Australian War Memorial to represent those lost in World War One. Ms Berry said there were also another two poppy installations at Parliament House and one in Ainslie Place.

"We may be interested in accepting this book. We'll let you know within about 12 months."
"No way!" I said. "My mother is 92 years of age and doesn't have that sort of time to spare!"
So my sisters and I decided to pool some money and we printed 500 copies.
We had a BIG LAUNCH at the Williamstown Little Theatre where my mother signed books, drank champagne and had a ball.
She died about three months later, about a month short of her 93rd birthday.
so we printed another 500.

A policeman was arrested after a shooting incident involving two brothers, leaving one dead and the other critically injured, during a quarrel at a tavern in Limpopo.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday and the weapon involved allegedly belonged to the policeman's wife.
"The 55-year-old officer, who is said to be the owner of a tavern at Makosha village in Giyani, had a quarrel with one of his patrons before allegedly shooting the patron dead with his wife's pistol," said police spokesperson Col Moatshe Ngoepe.
"When the brother of the deceased interfered he was also shot and wounded. He is receiving treatment at a local hospital."
Shortly after the incident, the local community mobilised and stormed the tavern, looting liquor and other valuables before setting the building alight. They also torched four vehicles belonging to the family of the policeman, according to Ngoepe.
"A retired police officer who allegedly attempted to scare the crowd away by discharging his private firearm was assaulted and disarmed. He was also admitted to hospital. The firearm was handed over to Giyani police station," he said.
Two police vehicles were then damaged when their occupants intervened to calm the situation.
Looter continual: We rob trucks all the time, say schoolkids in De Doorns
Schoolchildren were among the looters who raided a truck on the N1 in the Western Cape after the driver was hit by a rock hurled from a footbridge.
Eight suspects, aged 22 to 33, have since been charged with public violence.
Provincial police commissioner Lt-Gen Nneke Ledwaba ordered investigators to leave no stone unturned in getting to the bottom of the incident.
Ledwaba also condemned the violent acts committed by the community. "Community members are urged to report any form of criminality to the police and desist from taking the law into their own hands," said Ledwaba.
The tavern-owner policeman - facing charges of murder and attempted murder - and local residents charged with public violence are expected to appear soon at the Giyani Magistrate's Court.

The American River 50 Mile Endurace Run is the nations largest 50 mile ultra marathon. The race director hired me to create a video that would outline the course and highlight certain places along the map. To do this, we combined footage from various parts of the course with a graphic animation of the course map. The end result was an effective, easy to follow and understand narrative with plenty of race excitement.

Siasat.com/News/Got thrown out of films without reason: Shilpa Shetty
Got thrown out of films without reason: Shilpa Shetty
News Desk| Published: 20th May 2019 3:51 pm IST
Mumbai: Actress-entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty Kundra says her journey in the Hindi film industry was not an easy ride as producers threw her out of their films without giving any reasons.
In a post shared on the official Humans of Bombay Instagram page, Shilpa, who made her debut in Bollywood with "Baazigar" in 1993, opened up about her journey and struggles she faced in the Hindi film industry.
"I was this dark, tall and lanky child who had her life pretty much laid out for her. I'd graduate and work with my dad. Even though in my heart I wanted to do something different, something bigger and better, I never felt like I could. But when I participated in a fashion show, just for fun, I met a photographer who wanted to click my photographs," she wrote.
Shilpa said it was a "great opportunity" to step out of her comfort zone and that the photographs came out really well, opening up the doors of modelling for her.
"Soon, I got offered my first film. There was no looking back from there, I was going onwards and upwards. But nothing worth having comes easy. I was all of 17 when I entered the industry, I hadn't seen the world or even understood life. With all the success came scrutiny. I wasn't ready for it," she said.
Shilpa said that she did not know how to speak in Hindi and "shuddered at the thought of being in front of the camera."
"I reached a point where after a few films my career hit a lull. I tried hard but it always felt like I was lagging behind. It's not easy to be celebrated one moment and ignored the next. I remember there were producers, who without any reason, threw me out of their films," recollected the actress, who is fit as a fiddle at 43.
She decided to reinvent her herself and hence entered the reality TV show "Celebrity Big Brother 5", which ended up leaving a "huge impact".
"I was publicly bullied and discriminated against just because of the country I belonged to. It wasn't easy – I was all by myself in that house! But I kept me going – I couldn't give up, not after reaching this far. When I won, people kept telling me, �You've made us proud'. That is when I knew that all of that struggle and persistence was worth it."
Shilpa was a target of racism and bullying by some of her "Big Brother" housemates — Jade Goody, Jo O'Meara and Danielle Lloyd.
On facing racism, she said: "I had stood up not just for myself, but for all of those who had faced racism. My life has been filled with ups and downs. There were terrible times, but there have also been some great accomplishments. I've enjoyed every minute of it! It's made me who I am today – a strong independent woman, a proud actor, a wife and a mother. I wouldn't have it any other way."

Saint Georges is a Roman Catholic Church in Providence, Rhode Island. Tourists may make the most of their visit to the Saint Georges Roman Catholic Church by dropping by and taking a look at some of the other buildings and structures near the church.
Saint Paul's Church, the Saint Sebastian's Rectory, the Central Falls Congregational Church, the Saint Mary's Antiochian Church, the Covenant Congregational Church, the Trinity Church, the Assembly of God Church, the Cascade Oracion, the Central Baptist Church, the Saint Martin's Church, the Gethsemane Church and the United Church of Christ.
Street Bridge, the Red Bridge, the Washington Bridge, the Division Street Bridge and the historical India Bridge.
Saint Georges Roman Catholic Church is also in close proximity to the Blackstone Boulevard Park in Blackstone. Blackstone is one of Providence's residential neighborhoods. It is located in the northeastern part of the city. It is bounded by the Lloyd Avenue to the south and by the Hope Street to the west. Blackstone's major thoroughfare is a street named after it, the Blackstone Boulevard.
Blackstone is a relatively new part of Providence. Because of its distance from the city proper, its development, which only started during the late 19th century, has been very slow. When a second public horse car line was put in place and completed, the Blackstone's connection to the more advances areas of Newport strengthened. Through the new lines of connection came growth and progress. But what became the catalyst for development in the area was not the car lines, but the completion of the beautifully landscapes Blackstone Boulevard in 1894.
During the 20th century, a number of buildings were put up. These include the aforementioned Central Baptist Church, the Saint Sebastian's Roman Catholic Church and the Temple Emanuel. The rise of these buildings triggered the construction of more structures in Blackstone. Currently, Blackstone stands as one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Providence. Within it are two parks, the Blackstone Boulevard Park and the Lippit Memorial Park. The Blackstone Boulevard Park, consisting of over nineteen acres of parkland, is situated between the lanes of the Blackstone Boulevard. The Lippit Memorial Park, on the other hand, is near the Pawtucket border at the intersection of Hope Street and Blackstone Boulevard.
Blackstone is also home to Rhode Island's only private mental hospital, the Butler Hospital. Located off the main boulevard, the hospital, founded in 1844, offers substance-abuse and psychiatric treatment programs that are among the best in America.

Joan and I were sitting in our hot tub last Monday night, staring up at the stars and wondering when -- if ever -- the rains would return to the B.C. interior, that day being our 66th without perceptible rainfall, when a brilliant flash lit up the eastern sky.
I quit counting after ten. Joan claims she heard a rumble, about ten minutes later.
Which would be about right. Because the flash, we learned the next morning, had occurred more than 200 km away, directly over Kootenay Lake. A hunk of rock left over from the formation of our solar system had smashed into the earth's atmosphere over the little town of Boswell at the south end of Kootenay Lake; it blew up over Meadow Creek, slightly beyond the lake's north end.


The X4 Power Flash arrives with DYNO Proven custom tune files that INCREASE HORSEPOWER and TORQUE from Unleashed Tuning! Programming your vehicle with one of Unleashed custom tune files is as easy as 1-2-3. Simply plug the OBDII connector into your vehicle's OBDII port, select one of the custom tune files using the simple to navigate menu and within minutes the X4 programs your vehicle.
With a HUGE Backlit display, the SCT X4 Power Flash makes it EASY to read the Built-In Data Logging or Real Time Monitored Vehicle Data, view popular sensor data such as EGT, Air / Fuel Ratio or any other 0-5 Volt source!
The X4 Power Flash device backs up your factory PCM program during installation should you ever need to return your vehicle to the stock PCM program. Restoring your vehicle to the stock PCM program is as easy as selecting Return to Stock from the device menu.
Our Calibrations are written to be US Federally compliant.
Custom tune files are not transferable between different vehicles. If you change vehicles new files will need to be purchased and assembled for the new vehicle.
I couldn't be happier with the tuner, tunes and The professionalism and patience from Torrie and Leslie. my 96 lx Thunderbird is definitely benefiting From it and I'd advise anyone to buy from unleashed tuning. The shipping speed and email responses just shows how much this company cares about the customer. The car is at a whole new level now and unleashed has a customer for life.
The tuner itself is great. The support is where the real value lies within. The speed at which Torrie responds to inquiries is astounding. Faster than I can shut down my computer after sending a question, I usually get a response from him. I'm fairly conservative with how I spend my money and 8 out of 10 times will always base the majority of my purchasing decision making on the price tag. Not only was this one of the best price points but the added value of his quick willingness to help, is priceless. Great value!
Excellent experience all around. Thanks Torrie!
After reading a bunch of reviews on focusst.org, I decided to take the plunge and go with an SCT X4 unit from Unleashed Tuning. Even before my purchase, Torrie was very helpful in making my decision. On top of that, Unleashed Tuning provides one of the best, if not THE BEST customer service around. Even after my tune was setup, Torrie promptly responds back which is unheard of in my experience of 23 years in the tuner market. Torrie's tunes are also phenomenal and would recommend them to anyone looking for great gains. Thanks again!!
Best bang for the buck out there!
I've been on the fence about buying a programmer for my 2004 Mach 1 Mustang for quite some time. One of my local friends has a tune from Torrie and I decided to bite the bullet. My package arrived at work on Christmas Eve and I scanned my car and e-mailed Torrie with the details. By the time I got home 30 minutes later I had my very own custom tune sitting in my e-mail.
The tune itself is a night-and-day change. Power is increased and is noticeable! My shifting with the TR-3650 was always notchy and jumpy, and I accustomed that to my first time driving a cable-clutch car but as soon as I loaded the tune, with the included rev-matching, all of my shifts were butter smooth and better power delivery. I cannot believe I waited this long to buy this and its without a doubt, the best mod I've gotten.
Stop reading reviews. Go buy it. Now.
Torrie did a fantastic job at making my car run correctly to my satisfaction and also waking up a ton he has impressed me a lot with his quick responses when I asked question and with his quick turnaround times on tune updates!
Product is awesome and shipping was lightning fast. I emailed the info requested at 5pm and had my tubes in about half an hour. Highly recommend!! Car is a whole new beast!!
SCT is a great, well known, universal tuner. Very easy to use/navigate.
With the guy's at unleashed, the tune for my 16' Ford Fusion added a great deal of HP/Tq gain at 90 Oct. The shift points are very firm. The amount of boost at cruise causes much needed HP when needed. No more throttle lag. Keep it up fella's, I need some stickers to represent Unleashed!!
Ecoboost vehicles are limited by the factory 2 Bar MAP sensor - limiting the maximum PSI. This is the Ford 3 Bar MAP sensor when combined with our custom tunes allow for more boost and performance.
