Cummins ISX shutting down

[Rawze]

I was sent the ecm program. Here is what I see at a glance ...

WoW, that ecm shows a LOT OF run time on it!... The ECM is showing more than 1.9 million miles (39k+ hours) worth of of run time on this ecm!.

A bad ECM could very well be the culprit there.. replacing it at this point would not be a bad investment, even if it was not the cause of the random shutdowns.

next:

* The VIN# info needs to be corrected in the ecm. Only the last set of digits are set instead of the entire vin#. Smeone was being simply lazy on that one when they set it. The entire vin# needs to be in place so that it can be broadcast across the J1939 network properly. Sometimes ABS systems or other devices will complain about this.. depends on the truck.


Programming problems ...

* This program is the typical hack-n-slash garbage found on those auto-tuning websites, used by those so-called "professionals". It is beyond horrible .. all someone did when they made this program is that they unplugged s#it and blocked all the codes from showing up in the dash.. It is really bad!. From what it looks like .. someone left the entire program "as factory as possible".. they adjusted nothing whatsoever.. not the engine mode control logic, not the egr gas request logic, not the injection timing, .. nothing.. AND THIS IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE ENGINE ONCE THAT EGR GAS IS MISSING FROM THE INTAKE AND THOSE CANS ARE HOLLOWED OUT!

* They did however, jack with the turbo tables in a bad way. They are set far too aggressive, and will cause the turbo to over-boost the engine. This is extremely harmful and will cause it to crack a piston or drop liner. It will also over-spool the turbo + trap too much heat, and cause it to eventually tear itself up.

-- You should not be driving this truck with this program in it!. It is going to cause harm over time and severely shorten the engine life .. If it has not caused significant harm already!.

The software is also VERY VERY old, like 2014, 7+ years out of date kinda old .... and the ecm software desperately needs an update.

- You have a copy of the program. ... In your particular situation, you should likely bite the bullet and replace that ECM (if it is as old as it claims to be) to help solve your intermittent shut-down issues with A certified reman FROM the OEM truck stealers$it.

Have the stealers$it pre-flash the ecm with the program that goes into that exact ser# engine when you purchase it. Have them also pre-set all the truck settings according to your vin#. They can do this, so that all you have to do is hang the ecm onto the engine and its ready to go. - This Puts a clean 100% factory file in it. That way you can start over with it, as the program you currently have in that old ecm is no good. Also this is cheap insurance to ensure that the ecm is good when you go to hang it onto the side of the truck, as the dealer will have to hook it up, test and flash it themselves before handing it to you and will not be able to accuse you of causing it to be bad, if it is DOA out of the box (I have seen ppl go thru that before, it is not fun).
