    Please Help, Dangerous PCM and Electrical Problems, Shut off no start

    Bummer, out of curiosity what year truck? Since going through this I've heard the 07.5-08's are more prone to PCM issues. Anyway, you may want to rethink the dealer if you don't mind doing a little work yourself and have access to a good scan tool. Removing the PCM is very easy and I've been...

    Please Help, Dangerous PCM and Electrical Problems, Shut off no start

    Yes, it's still a re manufactured unit but not the one that came out of my truck and it's on stock software. I will need to flash it at some point since my truck is deleted but for now I'm driving it to test. I do have an active P0633 SKIM key not programmed which I was warned not to clear or it...

    Please Help, Dangerous PCM and Electrical Problems, Shut off no start

    Sag, thanks for the tip. I did question my codes at first however I had taken pictures of each injector so it was easy to go back and recheck everything and I couldn't find errors. After discussing with the rebuilder I sent the ECM back where this time it failed their testing. They sent me a...

    ECM problems. HELP!!

    OP if you're still here I would be curious to hear an update and if you've solved this. I'm having a similar problem with my 07.5. Have a few questions that might be helpful for some of us. What tuner were you running? Not trying to blame this and don't think it's related but curious. Do you...

    Update: Received the ECM back and installed it. Truck is back running and I've put about 15 miles on it so far without the previous issue occurring. Still hesitant to drive it far so I'm easing into trusting it again. There is one annoying issue that has me stumped. It's got the CEL lit and...

    Ozymandias, I think I found that good and bad list for ecm repair a few weeks back and I did use one from the good section... We'll see. TCDiesel, appreciate your offer to talk through this! I'll get the reman ecm back in and if the gremlins persist send you a message.

    Please Help, Dangerous PCM and Electrical Problems, Shut off no start

    Appreciate the replies and thought I'd give an update. The trim codes ended up being the easiest part of this disaster, had some time last weekend so I pulled the valve cover and used my phone with a small work light to take pictures of each injector and got the codes which was relatively easy...

    Sag2, thanks for the info on the injector codes. I'm hoping mine have legible numbers and not reman's since the truck is relatively low miles. Sounds like I'll be pulling my valve cover in the future. Cerberusiam, I like that idea and you're convincing me that it's possible I botched the...

    Please Help, Dangerous PCM and Electrical Problems, Shut off no start

    Cerberusiam, that's helpful! So it sounds like you are leaning towards possibly the ECM is fine and something happened to the recovery file loading? The odd thing is that after the first no start problem and recovery file flash + tune flash the truck ran great with no error codes until the crazy...

    Please Help, Dangerous PCM and Electrical Problems, Shut off no start

    Yes, my knowledge rapidly drops off when it comes to the different firmware flashes to the ECM. Agree the standard flashes that come with the tuner are not related to what the dealer would use when say flashing a new ECM. However the recovery flash I was provided seems to be more along that...

    Please Help, Dangerous PCM and Electrical Problems, Shut off no start

    Agreed, the tuner does add more unknown than stock but with how many tuned diesel trucks that are out there that don't catastrophically break down with old batteries or try to kill their occupants with random acceleration and shut down at speed I'm hesitant to place much blame on it yet. Also...

    Please Help, Dangerous PCM and Electrical Problems, Shut off no start

    Appreciate all the replies! Yes, I am very curious as to what exactly the shop did to my truck. Definitely makes sense the batteries were run down as it did originally have a low battery code which only trips below 10v I think. I just can't believe low battery voltage alone would cause such...

    Please Help, Dangerous PCM and Electrical Problems, Shut off no start

    Hello all, First post here and hoping I can find someone with some deep smarts on diagnosing possible PCM, TIPM or some other electrical issue. Truck is a 2007 with 6.7, 68rfe, 4x4, 100k miles, previous owners fully deleted it and flashed with a RaceMe. I've owned for over 3 years with zero...
