Reflashing ecu

Is there a certain amount of times that the ecu would become inop or erase itself due to reflashing ecu back and fourth on an lmm? I have heard of other ecu's in other makes doing that after a certain amount of reflashing. Thanks in advance for your help. Btw happy new years to all :cheers:

The manufacturers of the flash chips in the ECM's only rate them for anywhere between 100 and 1,000 reflashes. But, in the 5 or 6 years we've been doing this I've never heard of an ECM dying because it was flashed too many times. Some shop cars / trucks would have been flashed many 100's of times too.

Cheers,
Ross
