Are the mini maxxs that finiky? To date i have never had a problem with my sct loading for over a year. I was thinking about the battery charger idea while i was driving away looking at my truck. I confirmed to the best of my knowledge its up to date as far as tuning goes. I will take H&S tech support advice and hook up the key on power wire they recommend to tie into the purple wire thats in the same bundle of wires that the pto wire is in is this the best place? Ill hook my battery charger up to it and give it a shot. My dealer just did a once over on it about a month ago when it went in for warranty on a fuel leak, the batteries tested within ford spec but im willing to try anything at the moment. I was really hoping to be able to do my fuel filters tonight, this weekend its suppose to snow. Worst case its the obd2 block and the new one comes in on monday.
