Do you accept ford pats delete (1996+) modules from Michigan?

Is there a ford pats delete (1996+) shop in Detroit I should use instead?
Most Detroit shops don't keep the bench equipment for ford pats delete (1996+) — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-region north — about 2-3 days each way.
Does Michigan vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Michigan has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Michigan and federal requirements.
Will the THEFT light still flash on the dashboard?
On most PCMs we can disable the light too. On some early EEC-V PCMs, the THEFT indicator is hardwired to the receiver — if your specific PCM has this, the light may stay on but the engine starts normally. We tell you upfront before shipping back if your PCM falls in this category.
Engine swap — Coyote into Fox Body or Mustang II?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons for the service. PATS delete on the Coyote PCM lets it run cleanly in a chassis that doesn't have PATS wiring (Fox Body, SN95 V8 swap, classic-truck Coyote swap, etc.).
