I would consider that quite bad actually. That is only 350,000 miles or so. - That engine is supposed to last a million miles+.. and typically, even when they are driven hard .. they last about 600k or so miles on the short end of that stick *(965km). Something really does not add up at all if those were mostly highway miles and not a ton of heavy PTO or something else, racking up the engine hours.

Just putting it into a proper perspective there so that you have an idea of what should actually be expected.

That aside...

they don’t hand out that kind of information, so if I can get any info off of insite that’s the best I can do next time I get the laptop

...because just like the percentage of bad deletes out there.. there are the same 90% clueless fools who would not know bad programming to save their own arsses ... and certainly would not give you a copy of what they shoved into your ecm, simply because they are afraid of what someone would say on a proper review.

Stop listening to the very ppl who would shove a demandate program in it, who also want to hide what they have done. Quite frankly, I would bet that they could not even properly answer simple questions about the very programming that they shoved into it. The sad part is that they likely don't even know any better themselves. Most ppl who do that kind of hack-job work would quickly get mad at you for even asking. That is their typical MO.

so .. it sounds to me like you got the typical response there.

Besides that.. WHAT THE H@#ELL YOU GONNA DO some day when that ecm ever dies!.. As a business owner... You need to have a copy of ANY custom programming that was flashed into it. ... YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE A COPY OF THAT PROGRAM FOR YOUR OWN FUTURE RECORDS!!!.. YOUR WHOLE BUSINESS RELIES ON IT!. If that ecm ever dies or needs to be re-flashed for any reason.. you will be completely at someone else's mercy once again!>.. and THAT IS NOT WISE!.

Programming .. especially any custom programming of any kind, is nothing at all to take lightly with these engines. It needs to be taken very seriously, and it should NEVER EVER be anything less than 110% safe and correct, especially for a $40,000 commercial engine that someone relies on daily to make their living with.

YOUR NEXT PRIORITY AND GOAL SHOULD BE ...
To get yourself an adapter and a laptop.. and copy that program out of that thing yourself (using the Calterm software) ..it is not hard to do!. That or have someone from the forum here help you get it pulled out so that it can be properly examined.

You quite frankly, should have asked for a copy of the program when they flashed it in.. and if they refused.. then I would have told them pound sand if they think that I would let myself and my truck be at their mercy for the rest of its lifespan with an unknown quality of programming.

Get it copied out and e-mail it to me for a proper review of what someone did in there. Otherwise you are just wasting your time trying to guess at your issues. For all anyone knows, the da$mnned thing could have jumped into an SCR rapid warmup mode and got stuck there because the whole system is disabled/gone, and no one told the engine mode control manager about it. .. making all that extra heat and it now torturing itself internally. -= BAD DELETES DO THIS KIND OF CRAP .. and it is random when it can get triggered and happen.
