I have a guy here that has ruined an ecm with a downloader. I tried flashing it and its dead. I have a good used ECM and have put it in the truck and changed the vin. Truck would run 3 sec and die. I disabled skim key and anti theft and the truck now runs but it throws a check engine light and the anti theft light is on. Is there anything I can do to get the lights off the dash?

Did you reprogram the VIn?

Shouldn't need to disable antitheft. Just a good Vin with correct trans file should be all you n need

Try reprogramming the VIN via the scantool, the VIN change in the calibration screen doesn't get written to the ECM during a flash (on the 6.7L anyway).
