Do you mean same model and year truck? That would be the same computer, right? So, of course. But, from my understanding you would need to license that PCM since licenses, I am told, tag to the serial number of the PCM. Hopefully an EFILive person can give you the real skinny on that.
I'd rather be blown, bored... AND stroked!

So Joecar, This thread is along the same line of the question you replied too for me a couple of days ago. It sounds as though I did not get all the info I need. You stated I could change the VIN in a second PCM to match mine via the read and bi-directional update without a VIN license.
But it sound like I will be forced to use a VIN License to then flash the 2nd PCM with a tune?
Am I understanding this correctly?
