1. HEX CODE
2. HEXKEY
3. HEX CALIBRATION
4. PCM PROGRAMMING STRATEGY
And some other ones are all the same lingo.
The HEX stands for what version of Ford's software/firmware your truck's pcm is programmed with. Each HEX is used with specific trucks.
The HEX varies by year and model of truck and its options.
The HEX is a cornerstone for custom tunes if PHP doesn't have it they can't write the tunes for you.
You can go to a dealer and get it but they might have to hook up their computer to your truck's PCM in order to see your HEX code. They also may charge $20-$90 to do this. Sometimes if you look on your pcm there is a sticker with the code on it. But the only downside to this is if you bought the truck used and the previous owner had it reflashed and the dealer didn't put a new sticker on it. Which happens.
