I think whenever you switch vehicles, you have to unlock the tuner. After 5 unlocks, you have to send the tuner back to SCT to have it reset.

also it can only be used on one truck at a time since the tune that is in it now is factory from your dads truck and thats all you would get from it

Do you know how much SCT charges to reset it?
