Not trying to bust your *****, but you really need to use the "Search" function on this site. There are sooo many repetitive questions asked on this site and new folks never use the search feature. To answer your question though? No!
All trucks have different strategy codes and different computer setting that prevent 1 tuner from being used on multiple vehicles. You gotta pay to play. 1 tuner per vehicle if you want tunes for all your rides.

P.S.

Welcome to the site!

superchips cortex One part number (1950) supports all Ford vehicles - 05-07 Mustangs, 04-07 F-Series Gas Pickup trucks, 2004 SUVs, 99-08 F-Series Diesel Pickup trucks and Diesel Excursions. go to www.superchips.com to check it out. you can only use it in one vehicle at a time though but i you dont mind changing it around i think it would work.

Any SCT tuner can make you as many tunes as you are willing to pay for.

You can keep the tunes in a lapper and load them into the X-cal or livewire. This would allow you to have tunes for all your vehices but you can only use it in one vehicle at a time.

This could be VERY useful for MPG tunes or tow tunes when you're with the family and for some 93 performance tunes for the one you drive.

Hope I helped.

Thanks for all the replies...I have an old super chip in my 98 that works great but plugs in the ECU I thought the newer tuners reflashed the onboard chip so one tuner could tune more than one vehicle. Jerry

Jerry, as stated in the post above.

the tuner becomes locked on the VIN number and then will not ork on other vehicles.


Like stated above you could easily buy that superchips model that is a canned tune that can be used for all those vehicles but could only be used in one at a time.
