Hypertech 41029 Tuner
Is anyone using one of these on their truck? I just bought one from someone but it turns out that it is still programmed to their VIN. Is there anyway to clear/unlock it or do I have to send it to Hypertech?
Thanks,

I"m using the hypertech programmer, And like aklim said, it's only can be used on one truck at a time. You should connect the seller and retrieve the Hypertech program that is probably still in his truck, and return the stock program. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the info. The guy sold the truck and he thought that he had done that. I will get a hold of Hypertech and see what they say. They should be able to reset it.

They probably will reset it but it will cost nearly as much as a new one. It's worth a call tho. Then try to get your money back from your friend, and let us know what they said about reprogramming it.

You should sell that tuner to the guy that bought the truck and get yourself a fresh one.

I wouldn't. I now know you have to sell it so I will lowball you. Return it to the seller and be done with it is probably the best thing.
