2015-2019 to 2020 ECM Reprogram

Query for those techies who might know the answer...

I have a 2020 F-250 with the 6.7 PSD.

I'd like to retain my truck's original ECM in stock form for warranty/whatever other reason.

I'd also like to have an ECM to experiment with, maybe even plug-in and use if I take the truck off-road/on-farm.

Would it be possible to purchase a 2015-2019 ECM and then reprogram (or pay someone to reprogram) that ECM to run my 2020 truck exactly how my factory original one does?

A new 2020 ECM seems to be around $1k but I can find the 2015-2019 ECMs for a song, as they're used.

Am I thinking too simply, here?

I know there's several changes to the 2020 trucks and I'm guessing the ECM is also unique but figured it's worth a new thread query.

Thanks!

2020 trucks have two BCMs so the second module would not have a way to communicate to a previous year PCM.

Makes sense, thank you!

I'll just wait for 2020+ compatible EZLynk "updates"

Thanks, again!

If one were to order part number LC3Z-12A650-KANP (new Motorcraft ECM for 2020 6.7 PSD F-250), would it come pre-programmed from Ford or is this essentially a "blank" ECM that you'd need to get loaded/programmed after purchase?

It's pricey but might be worth it to retain the factory ECM and use this "spare" ECM for "testing" tunes when you go off-road.

Thoughts?
