Have the prices come down any to unlock them?
Or let me ask this - I don't have any desire to tune, due to the lifetime maxcare, HOWEVER, I do have a spare used PCM with the same number and having a spare backup pcm with my stock truck information on it to use in the case of an emergency would be nice.
So does HP or one of the smaller places, unlock the pcm and then load the stock information on it so that it would be plug and play?
I don't think the dealer can reflash a used pcm with my truck information - new yes, but I thought I was told not used. Honestly, I didn't look into it too deeply.
I want to think that the PCM I have is off of a Rebel and I have an Outdoorsman - the numbers are the same but I am pretty sure it wouldn't start the truck. Or is it all in the skim?
OR - can I just use AlphaOBD to write in my VIN to the used PCM and all be well??
As you can tell, I haven't looked into this to hard
