    Yes and no Howard.
    The 2006/2007 should be fine, worst that will happen with a 2008 is the VIN will get corrupted and the Crank Relearn will need to be done.
    Thinking about it, 12597121 probably covers 2006-2007, 12612384 is for 2008.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.

    I've never been able to flash an 08 calibration into a 121 ECM. Haven't tried working it backwards.

    Tried flashing a '10 truck cal into a junk 455 ECM (broken retaining tab) and it took the calibration fine, EFILive couldn't retrieve the calibration though.

    If you put a real '10 OS into a 5455 E38 then you probably have a brick now.

    12633238 is the '10 as Ross listed above. GM parts info lists it as "no start" if cal is not right.

    It was a useless E38 to me as it was and had to test a theory. GM listed both the 5455 and the 3238 for that truck for some reason, depending on software version.

    That's the problem, it will take the calibration fine, it's what happens on the next power cycle that is bad.
