Probably a corrupt file in the ecm.

re-flash the ecm with the latest factory file according to the ser# on the engine.

and ... If you got the ecm form somewhere besides a certified OEM stealers$it then you did nothing but wasted your moneys.

What you did was jumped over a dollar to save 10 cents.

You should have purchased an OEM certified ecm from the vehicle stealers$it and also had them pre-flash it with the correct software + all the correct truck settings for your VIN#, etc. - This guarantees that you have a good ecm and proper programming. OEM certified ecms have brand new circuit board in them as well, instead of some ancient trash that is worn out/flaky, etc... this even if it is a reman unit.

sounds a bit harsh, but for a $2,000+ item and big towing bills when it leaves you on the side of the road, maybe is flaky, etc... and when it fails prematurely again (because repaired units always do) = wasted time and moneys. I.E.> You don't take no chances, to avoid all the headaches that cost more than if you got a certified one to begin with.
