bought a used sct tuner.. wtf
Has prior vin etc stored. Upon first startup it said one change left. Sucks hardcore. Seller said 4 left. Oh well the 93 tune should be worth it right?
Went through the tune process and got a victory noise and a "success" message. Now, it cranks over and doesn't start or fire at all.
Worse than that.. I can't tune or return to stock. I get an error 11 no connection.
Exactly how fuxored am I?

SCT units are specific to a pcm. you've loaded tunes in designed for another pcm model. You should be okay though. Call SCT this morning and tell them you bought a used unit and programmed your truck and now it won't start. Ask them for a recovery file. After that is loaded in the tuner it'll force itself on the pcm and then you should be okay.
I do sell the tuners or just tuning only for those that have an SCT tuner already. Shoot me a pm or email with your truck model and mods.

Bought a new tuner from Sean. He overnighted it to me. But now I'm getting the same error when trying to force pcm into recovery.. or use any feature
Sct says this means no communication, and pcm is compromised
I have to take the pcm to dodge tomorrow and see if they can wipe or reflash it. I hope its not too far fvked
DO NOT BUY USED TUNERS. They are in fact vin and pcm part number specific
Not only did I waste money on the used tuner, the previous owners tune bricked my computer so now I have to pay to have that fixed as well

Man I'm so tempted to buy a tune for my 1998 Ram. It's healthy just weak...well, as weak as the 360 can be called in a truck. LOL.
My hesitation is that I have a virgin 360 donor engine that will end up a 408 someday and I really hate the idea of paying for a tune when I'll be replacing the engine and will have to buy a tube for it too.
