Spoke to him on the phone...

He has 4 trucks that were butchered up (programming) by a well-known place in texas a couple years ago for about $3,000 per truck, all they did was programming remotely over teamviewer for them and completely rip them off in return for horrible programming and false promisses!. The engines have repeatedly destroyed turbochargers because the turbo and other ecm mappings were never programmed correctly. -- typical bad delete!.

NOW,... 2 years later,.. and many failed components ... they regret even having any of this stuff done at this point ... it is killing them financially.

--- Does this sound familiar to anyone ?---


Unfortunately, this is the typical outcome of most of these engines with this kind of work.

Problem is --- THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE SCR CANS DID NOT NEED TO BE HOLLOW!!! -- AND they have been running for 2 years WITH THE NOW SOOT-PLUGGED SCR CANS STILL INTACT!

-- He said he had purchased a new DOC and DPF for one of the trucks and is trying to put it back to stock/factory, undo it, but the morons who programmed the ECM jumped calibrations, and his copy of Insite is refusing to put the right program back into the ecm because he will have to use a different calibration than what the moron delete shop put in. <- more than likely, it was a file dumped in from another truck somewhere,... how lovely it is to find out you spent $3,000 bucks FOR A STOLEN FILE OUT OF SOME ELSE'S TRUCK, WHO ALSO HAD A BAD DELETE!--- What a kick in the guts!.

So this was his problem... He is trying to put the right factory calibration in the ecm that belongs to the truck and ecm... However, since the old "deleted" garbage program does not match this, his legit copy (paid for pro version 8.x thru cummins) is refusing to flash it because it thinks the calibration number on the delete program when connecting to the truck is the right one.

To fix this, he will have to do one of the following ...

* Purchase a fleet count (from his vendor/cummins) for his legit 8.6 version, so that he can jump calibration numbers using that fleet count, and then it will let him put the right one back in.

**OR**

* Go get a pirated ver. of insite w all the fleet counts, etc... off the internet and use that to flash it.

**OR**

* Use "C a l t e r m" to edit the file in the ecm, setting the calibration info setting to fool Insite into allowing it to flash it.

-- Whichever way he goes,.. he also needs to make an ecm template in Insite so that he does not loose his truck dash settings as well.

----------------

I see this guy is trying to do the right thing .. he is trying to undo this nightmere that the (very well known shop) clowns out of texas did to royally f$uk up his enigne(s)... he said it is far less headache to keep after the emissions systems than to repeatedly replace turbochargers and failing engines.

Problem is that those SCR canisters,.. they are TOAST! -- This is going to be an uphill battle for him, and he will end up replacing every one of those SCR canisters right along with those DOC/DPF units if he wants those systems to function correctly again. - He will also have to pull apart every single DEF line, screen, pump, tank, DEF injector, and that whole system and clean it all out and get rid of all the crystallized, old fluid in the lines, components, and tanks. I talk about this in a bit more detail here (second half of post)... he should likely read thru it carefully ... http://rawze.com/forums/showthread.php?t...9#pid50969

--- SAD THING --- Is that every single bit of all the headaches and failed egines/turbo's and all the headaches could have all been avoided if the job was done correctly. Not only that, but that bunch of morons took these people for $12,000 (or more), and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. <-- THAT IS WHAT THESE DELETE SHOPS DO!!!! --- THEY EXPLOIT YOU WHEN YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES AND TAKE YOUR MONEY, THEN DUMP IN SOME GARBAGE THEY GOT FOR FREE OFF THE INTERNET AND RIP YOU OFF/KICK YOU WHILE YOU ARE DOWN WITH A BUNCH OF FALSE PROMISES!-- THAT IS WHAT THEY DO!

--------------

This guy has an uphill battle to climb...
He needs to do one of 2 things at this point.

1)-- Spend all the money for new DOC/DPF, AND SCR elements, pull apart all of the egr, DEF, and emissions systems and clean them all out + replace the bad turbo, etc. whatever other damage has happened to these engines (like mentioned in that other post).

(assuming he lives in a foreign country for a moment here)...
2)-- Leave them de-mandated, correct the programming properly, GUT THE SCR ELEMENTS 100% OUT LIKE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE!, and all the rest of what needs to happen to hopefully, straighten them out.


-- Trouble is that with them running for 2+years like this, and bad programming,.. i see a lot of problem in his future no matter what road he goes. - The damage from running the cylinders too hot, constantly over-spooling and self-destructing turbo's that were never programmed properly, etc.. has most likely taken its toll on these engines, especially knowing there are drivers in these things that could care less how they are driven.
