I have the sct3 also and I believe the tunes are truck/PCM specific although I could be wrong

They are very vehicle specific. There are hundreds of different strategies for the 04-08's. Should you flash someone else's tune onto your truck you would get the unrecoginzed ECU code and a no start. Possibly could fail while flashing....then it would really suck

Unless someone sells you an email tune, then if the other vehicle has the same engine code you can load it to a clean xcal
