Default HPTuners and 3rd gens transmission options? 2005 2500?

Nevermind, apparently it can't be tuned. with anything. according to HPTuners forums, and superchips.diablo.

Can anybody tell me, with 100% certainty, that HPTuners has transmission tuning options for a 2005 *2500* 5.7L ?
Their website only lists 1500's mainly, and the only other option I see is for 04-10 Ram 3.7, 4.7, 5.7, and there are no "additional supported controllers" for 2005.....
So is trans tuning actually available for my 2005 2500 5.7L?

It looks like there MIGHT be an option to swap out the PCM.
HemiX2 over at HPTuners forums has managed to swap out a NGC3 PCM in his 06 Jeep with an 08 NGC4 IIRC.
The problems so far is he hasn't sorted out the MIL code issue with all the stuff on CAN C bus.

This leaves me wondering if I could swap an 07 PCM into my 05 and what pins might be different.

looking like it could be very costly though, but mainly because I don't have a scanner that can change the VIN in anything like an Autel, and they're like $1500+ So there's that.

But I also need to figure out how to find out what PCM I have on my truck currently, whether it's a NGC3 or NGC3 CAN .... I'm assuming it's the former because CANBUS didn't start until 2006 if I'm not mistaken, and when I connect my Innova it's connects to JPW instead of CAN.
