The performance part of the tune is VIN locked. In other words, once the program is installed on a vehicle it can only be used to tune that vehicle. If you reinstall the original (stock) programming, the tuner can then be used on another vehicle.
Did you just buy this tuner? Was it a used one?

Seeing how as this is a computer thread figured I'd ask this question here. How common is the PCM code, NVK3 OR? This is what's in my 99.5, so I want to know how long it was used.

Basically, you got ripped off. If the original owner still has the truck you could get him to reload it.....otherwise you'll have to send it in to Superchips. They can fix it, but the charges will just about amount to a new one.
