I have an '03 F150, Super Crew, 4x4 with a 5.4 and an auto.

My buddy is gettin an '01 Super Duty, 4x4, ext cab, with a 5.4 an auto.

Are there any power tuners that we could buy half an half and use to program each of our trucks with?

Thanks

 

The short answer: no.

The long answer: it wouldn't make sense for tuner companies to sell a product that would sell half as many units while having to handle customer support issues for twice as many vehicles.

 

Motorhaven must be a rep for a company. He ain't gonna say anything we want to hear. I know ther is one out there.

 

When you make snide remarks, make sure you know who you're talking to when you do it to avoid the taste of shoe leather in public.

It just so happens that it was me who answered your question. I have years of experience with them, have sold thousands and evaluated many brands.

If you don't want to hear an answer just because it doesn't suit you don't ask the question. There are no tuners that support more than one vehicle at a time. All of them lock to the vehicle's computer and only unlock when you restore them to stock.

 

Im going to have jump in and agree...in the very beginning there were a couple that did not VIN lock themselves, but do to wild piracy and ebay sales, some companies vin locked for life on the tuner and others secured the tuner so that it could only function on one truck at a time by temporarily vin locking while a program was loaded on a vehicle. I also work with these products everyday, I do carry just about EVERY major brand of tuner device out there......and I can tell you,,,,from the lowest line jet chip or Crane Cams tuner to my highest line SCT or EDGE products...to anywhere in between...your only going to be loading a tune on one truck at a time....period. I'm not lying, I have no reason to. If I had one that can tune your entire block, I would PM you and sell the crap out of it...to guys just like you. There is no animal like that.

Now this is the answer I like to hear. Straight up, no BS tells me what I want to hear. You just earned a chance at getting business from me in the near future.

Sorry about the snide remark last nite. It was the 1yr anniversary of one of my best friends brother being killed in Iraq, and we had a 1.75 of Captain Morgan that we didn't put away till it was empty.

 

Ramboss429,
What wasn't straight up and no bs about "Short Answer: No"?

We've been providing answers in this section for years, answering literally thousands of questions about these products (we sell more tuners in a month than most dealers dream of selling in a year). Our response is credible, even though you may not like hearing that you can't use a tuner on more than one vehicle. Its basically no different than software... you're purchasing a license to use it only on one computer at a time.

If a dealer had a tuner that would tune the entire block he'd be out of business fast and so would the tuner company. Instead of 10 people buying one, 1 would. And he would be stuck supporting 10 people's questions and customer support issues when he only sold to 1 person. It would put the tuner companies out of business for the same reasons. This reminds me of something a dealer said years ago to Diablo... "I'm gonna sell these cheaper than anyone else and be your biggest dealer." Diablo's response was basically "we don't want you as a dealer". Dealers who cheapen product lines and sell only based on price find themselves in what is called a "race to the bottom" with other discounters... selling the same number of products for less and less money until they drive themselves out of business. Companies that do that can't afford, in the long term, to support their product lines.
