My only first hand experience tuning this generation of F150s has been with HP Tuners. Their process was to send in my PCM and have them unlock it, after I got it back I had to connect the tuning device to my truck and read the factory file from the PCM. In the case of my 2021 F150, the HP tuners software automatically provided me with a stock file at this point instead of reading it from my PCM because "the control module is not readable". Based on that experience I think that copying your stock file might be part of what they do during the unlock process, but I could be completely wrong. Once you read the factory file from the truck, your options are modifying the file yourself using their software or having someone else like 5 Star or MPT do it for you.Can you expand on reading the factory file part? What does that mean? Would that be after the ECU is sent to them or is that the same thing?
