    The T14 is a replacement for the 2009-2010 as well is what I am being told. I unknowingly attempted to flash it as an A50 because that is what it auto detected as. I thought I was replacing like for like so to speak but that wasn't the case. It did begin the flash so that's what has me thinking it was an ok unit before I attempted to flash. I wish I tried to read out the replacement T14 prior to flashing to see if it would read. It licensed fine.

    If it's a direct replacement then when flashed with TIS its going to get the 09-10 OS then and every dealer replacing them would be killing them. I do think this style of TCM (T14)) has been a pos from the beginning and hs been prone to fail even on flashes. All the ones I have done lately have been replacing T14's with a new T14. You would think it would be fine since the 2011 T14 OS worked in the 2010 A50.

    I have a spare T14 here that worked intermittently if I can get it to act normal for a bit I will try putting a 09-10 OS in it when I get time. I've already tuned it and it's already broke so it won't hurt my feelings if it takes a shit.

    The replacement TCM T14A is a POS as well.

    I have a bricked on here on my desk, TIS asks for the Hardware Number and even with the correct HW# and VIN entered in the TIS2WEB System it still bricked.

    If you want the TCM to play with Ross I can ship it to you, its a paperweight, if you want a project I have one for you to play around with !!!

    I think at the least we can prevent the software detect them as an A50. I'm interested to see what happens when you try to flash an 09-10 OS in one. If it works fine then I just had a bad egg I would say.

    OK, that is bad, I wonder how that has not fed back to GM / Allison from the dealers to get resolved.

    I have lots of projects already thanks
    Are you guys sure the T14 isn't supposed to be a replacement for the A40?

    If anyone has a read from one of these T14's I can probably configure the software to not detect or attempt to flash one of these T14's if they just don't work.

    The TCM will report a Valid SN#, when attempting to read it states "FLASH RECOVERY" then errors out $0101

    But its alive enough to give up its TCM SN#

    Executing: C:\Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V8\Config\A40_R.obj
    Virtual Machine Started
    Script Loaded
    Script Verified
    Flash recovery mode...
    Please: Wait...
    Script exited with code $0101: No data received


    But its junk for sure.

    T14A hdw # 24256864

    Supposed to be a A40 replacement.......but they are JUNK !!!
