I'm hesitant to post the address publicly for several reasons.
1- this is an hpt forum which I enjoy being a member of. This would directly circumvent Hpt's licensing.
2- if you don't know what you are doing and change the vin with out the correct checksum you will have a nice 6000lb paperweight.
3- mostly #1
I'd be happy to help in certain cases with changing a vin but must be a legit reason.
I'm not interested in circumventing the licensing. I'm only interested in solving the vin issue that I've so far skated around by using an sct or other tuner to rewrite vins.
Yeah i have been having an issue with my 2003 trucks and hpt support basically said get a new pcm would like to know this as well. HPT never even asks me for a vin just does the read and then tells me i cant license
Try updating your software. It should let you enter a VIN.
what version did that start in last one i tried was 3.0.57
That one should work. When you hit Gather Info, does it not ask you to enter a VIN? If not, can you post a screenshot of that screen?Originally Posted by richsoucie

so its now 8 years later and i still cant tune the truck because it has no vin and no way for me to add one.
I literally just did an 06 and added the vin to it.
Where did you enter it?
I'm having the same issue, flashed with ford ids thinking I could get it back to stock because it's been tuned before. I have been back and forth with HPT for 2 days tried everything. From what I can tell and I'm no expert it won't have a vin stored in the computer because ford IDS is using a part number instead of vin to wright the calibration. So I'm at a loss for now.
