Talking Power Programmer questions

I was wondering if I could purchase a power programmer that would handle both my buddies 99 Expy with the 5.4, and my 01 Expy with the same motor? I don't really want to purchase two seperate units, if you know what i mean!!!

No. It can only program one vehicle at a time. If they didn't put this restriction in place two buddies could go in on a unit and cheat the manufacturer (sort of like copying CD-ROM software without paying for it).... if you you what I mean!!!

My Superchips tuner will, however, continue to function as a diagnostic tool on any application regardless of where the "performance" tune is located.

The chip companies thought about tune pirates a long time ago. And I'm very glad. Why should dealers support 2-3 customers who only bought 1 product?

This site is funded by sponsors, one of which is a sister company that sells them. Why should I work twice as hard for half as much money? Why should I sell one product and have to deal with 1, 2, 3 or who knows how many people asking me questions about it? Or, although problems are rare, deal with 3 times more problems for the same number sold? What if your boss told you that you had to make half as much money for the same amount of work? When the shoe is on the other foot its not so funny....

wow..........chill, friend! we were just trying to think of a way to save money and not having to buy one for each vehicle. I think it was a legitimate question and the rest of comments were us just kidding around......I was also wondering if you can use them on mulitple vehicles and now I know......
