One Evo, two trucks?

Both my father and I bought 09 F150s (yes, I know the programmer is not out yet), but I was curious if we could both use the Evo to program, or does the Evo only work with one vehicle at a time? If I can't program both trucks, could I at least use the other functions (check engine codes, change tire size, monitors, etc) in either truck?

Our trucks have different engines, so I think we'd have to use different tune files any way.

You can't program both trucks at once with the Evo. You could program one, run it for a while, return it to stock, and program the other, ....

You CAN use the device as a monitor in both trucks I think. There's a chance it might only work if the tunes in the previous truck were set back to stock though.

You WILL NOT be able to set tire size on both trucks at the same time. You have to be entering a program to make that change.

Nope. The programmer manufactures would go broke if this was the case.
