He will need your computer code and gear ratio. It is 3:55 and he will ask you a few driving questions. If your Marauder is an '04, your computer code will be MAV2. there is a white decal on either front door jamb at the base of the windshield that has this code on it.

thats what i was worried about. see i have an '03 with what looks like 300 A options but the engine was replaced by ford under warranty and it has aluminum valve covers so im thinking maybe an '04 engine. now all this was done under the previous owner so i don't no if this will affect the information required by lidio to make this tune work effectively.

ALSO. the previous owner had the car stripped and painted so while i haven't checked for sure (car is under cover for the winter) i'm doubting that those decals are still there

hmmm the engine swap shouldmt matter about the pcm code unless they swapped that also which is unlikly. how ever the sticker being MIA may be a problem. im sure there are other ways

The computer is next to the parking brake pedal. Take a peek under there and see what's up.
