I'd like to learn about:
1. What ECM code is compatible with the stock AU90050?
2. What makes the others not compatible?
3. I see ECM with the same HP/torque rating but description with General, FireTruck, Bus etc. Within the same HP/torque rating, what's the difference between these different versions?
4. Why ECM code was not specified on the cummins website?

-- I can't tell you why the red engine maker does not show your ecm code, .. maybe you should call and ask them about that.

As far as looking at the garbage notes on the incal disks,.. that is not going to tell you much of squat. The only way to see if a program is 100% compatible with your specific engine is to compare the program contents itself that belongs in it, to another one in detail. Some of them might be compatible, and some of hem might not be .. its a crap-shoot. There might be many different programs inside the same 'CPL' listing.. but that does not mean they are compatible with each other. Sometimes it comes down to different vehicle designs like different intake and exhaust flow for a particular type of vehicle, maybe different network or tranny-specific settings, etc.

And as far as fire-truck programs got.. that is a fast track for tearing up your engine .. as those programs will run that engine at full operating loads and torques even if it tears the thing up. Most those programs are made specifically for screaming down the roads on an engine that is not warmed up yet.. is taking very short trips and torturing its internals.. and then not going f=very far. -- I.E.> those types of programs are very hard on the engine overall and not recommended.
