used truck-unkown if tuner used on it. what happens if i use other tuner?

i bought a used 05F150. i dont know if a tuner was used on it before. what happens if i try to use a tuner(i have superchip 1815) on it and it already had tunes and was not put back to stock mode? will the tuner error out or worse, crash the computer?
thanks

Ford can reflash it to stock, then you can put your tuner on. Then your superchips will have the stock setting saved on it just in cas you need to return it to stock. Did you buy it private?

Thats all computer software. Not really any way to look at the truck and tell if there is a tuner. The only way I know of is the trucks computer needs to be plugged into at ford. I don't know a ton about the computers, but some. Im just saying what I would do.
