DIY tuning support for 96-01 Explorer 5.0L EECs

[cgrey8]

One of the members of EECTuning.org develops def files, which is not an easy thing to do. Well he's finally gotten support for most of the popular EECs, and he's gotten around to getting some support for the Explorer 5.0L EECs. I haven't talked to him about what all is and isn't supported and how much these things can be modified. But all the standard tuning capability, including 4R70w tuning or disabling that support, should be there. I believe you'll be able to disable things like CAT monitoring (secondary HEGOs), EGR, and PATS in 98-2001 EECs to work. What I don't know is if the EECs are capable of being modified\disabled to accept older style inputs like standard VSS sensors instead of ABS speed interlinks and emission monitors like gas tank pressure monitoring since many older vehicles won't have those. I just need to confirm he has support to adjust/disable those things. The important thing is the support is now available for those that want to do DIY tuning with Explorer engines using stock wiring harness and EEC so you shouldn't need to retrofit Explorer engines to work with old Mustang EECs and wiring harnesses.

Sounds good, keep us in the loop.
