5 Star Tuner

I have a 2009 v-10 that I plan on selling and I installed the tune from 5 Star 6 years ago. I can't remember if the tuner is specific to my VIN and truck or if I can sell it separately from the truck.

You might double check with them, but I just bought one and if I understand correctly it can be married to 5 vehicles before it becomes locked. Don't know if that's true with the older tuners. The other problem is with the tune itself, which may not be useful to someone else unless they happen to have the exact same computer code, although it could be reloaded with new tunes.

If all that's possible, then I'm sure someone would scoop it up from you.

I would send it with the truck to the new owner.

You have to unmarry it from the truck or you won't be able to use it on your next truck

Pretty sure the custom tune only works with that truck. The stock tunes in the tuner should work with another truck though!
