It is a little more involved than that. Doable, but more involved. First the ECM needs to be unlocked, so it needs to be sent out or use a tuner that unlocks it. Now with it unlocked, you can't just download the factory tune like the earlier trucks. You will need to find the factory tune and then modify it to upload into the ECM.

A CM849/CM2100 truck would be much easier to start with if you want to play around. I assume the 2018 is your truck?
