Is there a ford pats delete (1996+) shop in Virginia Beach I should use instead?
Most Virginia Beach 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-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does Virginia vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Virginia requires an annual safety inspection statewide, with emissions testing in the Northern Virginia metro counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Virginia and federal requirements.
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.).
My PCM is from a 2014 F-150 with PATS-2 — covered?
Yes. PATS, PATS-2, and PATS-3 are all covered through 2018 model year. Text us your PCM part number if you're unsure.
