what is the correct steps taken to change the ecm, we have a brand new ecm & a tech 2 on hand, installing the vin number seems to be the problem. d/a cc 2004. need help, no gm dealers in australia have any care factor, regards brad

i believe truck info must be programmed into tech2 before programming ECM. i don't think you can just "key in" the VIN #..

The ECM must be "married" to the other computers in the truck.
Might try to PM Steve Cole (Diesel Tech), he knows the procedure.

Going to move this to the "Ask the Techs" section as it really is not an emergency.. Thanks

You need to do an info request on the new ecm, then have a download from GM into the tech II to load into the new ecm. Would need to have a dealer or someone with the CD's to download the program into the tech II for you
