i just bought a programmer from a friend of mine with the same engine/truck as me so the programmer will wok for my truck i was just wondering if there was a easier way to reset the VIN thats saved on it so i can use it for my truck than sending it back to hypertech can anyone help me out here?
If the truck it was used on before hasbeen programmed back to stock then the programmer can be used on another truck. The programmers are designed to be used on one vehicle at a time (VIN locked) but once its returned back to stock then it's unlockedandit can be used on a different vehicle and will be VIN locked to that one until it's returned back to stock.
Hypertech will have to reprogram it. Currently you have your buddy's old stock program sitting in the hypertechand that wouldn't do you any good even if you could put it on.
If he wrecked his truck, steal his computer for a bit,put it in your truck, use hypertech 2 remove the software. plug in your computer again and upload the firmware. then give him his computer back. Otherwise, you just bought a paper weight...
