super chips tuner?

Got a question about a super chips 1705 max micro tuner. I recently sold a 99 f-250 7.3 that I had originally bought the tuner for. I then bought another 99 f-250 7.3. When I was reading the instructions I read where the tuner might be VIN LOCKED. Does that mean I won't be able to use it in my new truck??

Thanks
Mark

You should be able to use it as long as you set your previous truck back to stock with it. The programmer can only be used on one vehicle at a time.

I had the SC programmer in mine and when it says its vin-locked, its locked into that vehicle. The most you'll be able to do with that programmer is read codes with your other truck. I never hooked mine up to another 7.3 but i believe thats how it works. The company looks at it as if you could tune different trucks with the same programmer they arn't gonna make any money.
