Looking to purchase a Donor PCM for my 2019 Ram 2500 6.4L to send in for Unlock so I can revert back to my OEM if need be. I know the Donor PCM will have a different VIN attached correct? If this is the case, will I be able to change the VIN on donor PCM after it is unlocked with VCM editor? Must the VIN be changed on Donor PCM to work in my vehicle? Sorry if dumb question, just new to this and still learning.
The VIN must be changed during the unlock process. Why the need for a second PCM? If you ever want to revert back to OEM, just flash the stock file back
you will also need to install a smartkey access behind the center consul

I've already purchased the smart access cable and installed. Now deciding whether to send send oem PCM in for unlock or purchase a donor to send in.Originally Posted by SultanHassanMasTuning
For one, I use the truck as my daily, and am trying to avoid the downtime in sending in my PCM. Also I am new to tuning and still in learning phase. God forbid I screw something up on a flash, I'd like to have a backup. Yes I have multiple copies of base tune, but just thinking worst case scenario's ;-)
As for VIN being changed during unlock process, does HPtuners provide this service or is this something I have to do with VCM Editor once I get unlocked donor PCM back?
yes no
you can get a junk yard ecu with same hardware number
read your current file/send the junk yard ecu to HP tuners with the read file

The VIN swap will be done during the unlock process. HPtuners does not allow you to change the VIN using VCM editor.
I definitely understand the down time issue. I bought the unlock equipment for our shop in order to offer same day unlocks. Has definitely made tuning easier than having to wait on the PCM to get back
