I bought an SCT from Sean (hemifever) for my 03 dak, but now that it's parked and in pieces (for a long time, it appears) obviously it's doing me no good. I'd like to put it on my 01 Durango R/T instead.

Anyone know:

1. Will unloading the tune from the Dak remove the VIN lock?
2. Will the tune even load on my Durango without bricking the PCM or the tuner?
3. If it does load, will it even run?

Sean wants $200 to swap it from one vehicle to the other, I'm not sure what gets changed though and perhaps the answer to question #1 will explain it all.

Edit to add that the tune is only a slightly modified (if at all) canned tune since my Dak only had exhaust on it.

if you return the dak to stock you will be able to use it on the dur
since the it has canned tunes, IIRC ,you should be good to go

The SCT can be used on up to three different PCMs before you would need to have it sent back to SCT to get "unlocked". Theoretically it should work on your durango, but I don't know how Sean writes his tunes as to if they will work on another vehicle.

Because of the year and model differences, my biggest concern is bricking the Durango's PCM by installing a tune for my Dakota, even if it was a "stock" tune. I can't afford to kill my daily driver, lol.

It's my understanding that the tunes are VIN specific.
