    Actually, the scary part is this has been in the 6.7L ECM from day one, even on the 2007's, but, with the updated bootloader it's only become active. Almost like a virus that has been sitting dormant.

    Which ECM have this updated bootloader? Is there any way to tell without reading it with EFI Live?

    Unfortunately there is no big sticker on the case to say if it's one of those ECM's.

    HERE is a link to the TSB issued by Dodge that explains the situation.

    If you look at the image below, the 'Bootloader Rev' is 1000601, this is the anti-tuning one.
    The older Bootloader version numbers are:
    1000500
    1000502
    1000503
    These are fine and have no tuning protection in them. Unfortunately you can't go back to the older Bootloader.


    Any possible way to get the ECM license back then?
    Thanks'

    We can't undo a used licence, but by all means we will unlock another one for you as a replacement.
    Just send an Email to support@efilive.com with a link to this thread, in the Email include your details, name, V2 serial etc.

    Cheers,

    So if those of us that have been able to flash but want a clean factory file shouldn't go to the dealer now to have it done? I know you said you don't think it's possible but I'm just wondering if anybody else knows for sure. Or had the dealer flash the ECM and then find out that the new boot loader is on there?

    On another note. Is there anybody out there that has a clean manual file that could be flash gotten for us manual trucks? I know that tune file depot doesn't have any manual files, last time I checked.

    Unless the dealer replaces the ECM it will be ok. I know get to some problems solved numerous people have been back to the dealer to get a stock tune flashed in, once that is done they've been able to tune ok.
