Right when you connect your laptop to your PCM for the first time and launch the VCM Editor and click the Read icon on the top menu, you will quickly be able to identify what vehicle your tune came from. Remember you can read your PCM inside the truck once it's all hooked up and you got your OBDII port wired up, or outside the truck if you built a bench harness with a little AC adapter to plug into the wall to read the PCM in the comfort of your own home (see Post #145).

Just because you sent in your 2000 Chevy Silverado PCM in doesn't mean you may get the same vehicle tune back, some shops do a PCM exchange some may over write your PCM with what ever vehicle tune they push so you may get a 2002 GMC Sierra tune back etc.

Once you read the file and saved it and forgot what year the tune came from for example, you don't have to read it again, just open the file using the VCM Editor and click on Edit \ Calibrate Details on the top menu and you will once again see the vehicle information you are looking for.
