Hello. Hey, the EOC site says you can send in a spare ECU (can’t do GDE, live in CA). I also read a thread where a guy said he had to have the spare ECU programmed for his truck. Is this true? Or would EOC be fine w/just a new or used ECU?
Why not? My dealer knows I'm tuned and didn't care one iota. In fact, when I had that type of tune my great Service Manager had his tech unplug the tuned ECU, plug in the stock ECU, do their updates, and replug the tuned ECU. If they ask you just tell them you want a backup in case the original fails.
I need to read around more before I post. I found the following on the EOC website:
”Requires you ship us your stock ecu or a secondary stock ecu to flash. We can also clone blank ecus to your truck BUT there is a red security light that will stay illuminated in the dash when running the tuned ecu. This does not effect function, its just annoying to see.“
Just from dealing with my local dealership for OTHER matters.... I would Never send my truck over without the STOCK ECU in it. Read to many horror stories with the tech's-if you can call them that.... flashing away somones tune. Like say a pre ban tune. Gone forever. Naw.... I wont take that chance. just my .02
Agree. However, I wouldn't blame the dealer tech, he has no idea that it's tuned and is just doing his job. Blame the idiot owner who goes to a dealer with his tune intact.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
