That is correct. Once the VIN is flashed it belongs to that truck forever.
Something about the way the hardware's configured, the VIN cannot be
re-flashed once done. I wonder how many dealers have ruined PCM's by
accidentally flashing the wrong number in? I would guess that can't be
done. I'll bet the CABS would stop that from happening.

That would really alleviate my concerns if I could swap back.
Be great too if you could use the Mopar PCM in another truck, so that I
could sell it at the end of the lease. But I think once a VIN is entered
that's it. And I was told the VIN has to match the vehicle and the other
computers. He even made vague references to a security feature that would
lock up the computer if you attempted to install it in another truck! He
was a nice guy, but he didn't understand the system well enough to explain
it to an ignorant fool like me!
Of course, when is the damn 4.7 MP PCM going to come out!
