Default God... I hate to ask this dumb question.

Will an Edge Evo or even an SCT XCal from a 1999 5.4L work on my 2002 4.6L as long as its brought back to stock settings?

Custom tunes will not for sure. The canned tunes might, you will have to check the manufacturer web sites to see what all models the canned tunes cover.

Are you going to get an email tune for it?

Personally, I wouldn't recommend a canned tune as I've used them before and were def hit or miss. ( and the miss part super leaned the engine out, luckily I caught it before it damaged it ) I don't know about the Evo but I have a Xcal 3 and that should work as it just plugs into your port under the dash.

But just make double sure it's unlocked...

Short line of the story...

My buddy has a 1999 4x4 5.4L and he's trading it in either today or tomorrow and he's offered me some stuff off it to return it to stock for a small monetary investment on my part and my stock parts.

I just want to know if it will work if it were unlocked.

It's a SCT Xcal 1?

It SHOULD just plug into your OBII port ( assuming it's the same as the Xcal 3 I have ) but to be 100% sure, I would verify with the manufacturer to make sure and that also your truck is supported.
