Expert Reply:

Yes, the Edge Evolution Programmer, # EP15051, can be used on two different trucks as long as it is compatible with both vehicles and the first truck it is installed on is returned to the stock program software before installation on the second truck. You would then be able to install the Evolution program on a second truck without any problems.

Edge programmers cannot be used simultaneously on two vehicles.

In your Case the Edge Evolution Programmer, # EP15051, is compatible with the 2008 F-150 with 4.6 or 5.4 liter engine, but is not compatible with the 2009 F-150 with either the 4.6 or 5.4 liter engine.

For both the 2008 F-150 FX4 and the 2009 F-150 XLT you could use the Evolution CS Programmer, # EP85150, which is compatible with both trucks with either the 4.6 or 5.4 liter engine.

If a programmer was compatible with both vehicles , the reason you would need to return the first vehicle to the stock program is that the programmer does not have sufficient internal memory to hold two vehicle stock programs separately. The stock program is coded differently on each individual vehicle and is not transferable between vehicles.
