I got off work today and decided to load up a tune I had been messing with and see how it works on my 47mi. drive home. after it cleared out the pcm memory it tried to recalibrate the pcm but just kept cycling the same message (retrying block) for about 30 minutes. I realized it wasn't making progress so I tried again without high sped. and after attempting to calibrate the PCM it would say PCM in unkown state.
Never could get any readings from the PCM after that.
Luckily napa had a reman pcm. My mom came and got me and I swapped out the PCM. Now my problem is that I can't do a Full Flash on the new PCM (which is required) because I don't have a license for that VIN. and you obviously can't update VIN until after it's been flashed.
Is there any way around having to buy a new License for the new PCM? I'm more than willing to do so but it just seems a waste as the other PCM is going to NAPA as a core exchange.
On a side note, out of all the people that seen "a dude in a wheelchair" (me) working my truck in a parking lot, only 2 stopped to ask if I needed help.
My truck is still at work and I'm off on 8/21 so I REALLY need to find a solution by PM of 8/21 cuz i work at 5am.
I was going to call EFILive but couldn't find any phone numbers.
