PCM "Recovery"

[GMPX]

All the dealers i took them to said they couldnt flash it because the PCM refused to communicate with the Tech2

It depends on the security level of the Tech2, the issue is you can't extract the VIN from the PCM with the 'normal' commands when it is in a semi operational state. Most dealership setups require the VIN, cal part numbers etc to be pulled from the PCM before reprogramming can occur, mainly to protect against people flashing say a truck file into a C5 etc. I'd suggest this was the problem.
