Hey,
Just got around trying to read a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 ECU.
Previously Smarty JR tuned, but returned to stock for the purpose of reading the PCM, as we tried to read the Smarty tune, but the HPTuner wrote
"Reading has been disabled in the tune. Failed to read"
Haven't found any information about this issue, so asking here to see if anyone ran into that before !
It sounds like the device didn't actually return it back to stock. I would try again.
We redid the return to stock procedure, still same error message. Weird!
We even tried twice
Otherwise, do we have any 2006 5.9 Cummins, manual trans stock pcm tunes?
I didn't see any in the repository.
Smarty has found a way to lock the ecm AFTER being returned to stock.Quote:

That way we could download a known clean file to the ECM, instead of using a hacked one out of the ECM if you can even get a read.

I'll try to come up with a proper return to stock solution for the 06-08 guys with locked tunes soon.
Any way to implement a way to change the VIN in a tune file? That is the way I've been doing it with the other software, It is easier to keep an updated library of known clean stock files.
Keep me posted, really looking forward tuning that dodge
Vin change would be really nice, makes it so much easier when you tune more than one truck. Just change the vin, load, log, make a couple changes and you're done. Saves so much time!
HP Tuners has made it quite clear since their release that they do not and will not support VIN change..as nice, easy, and problem solving as it might be.Quote:

If you have a smarty... you can ping the two guys that answer all the questions and work with Engineering. I know they can reflash FULL stock roms which will fix your issue. Dylan or brian should be able to get you to the right people at Smarty. or at least they helped turbomike with his stock rom when it was 100% not working.
True story. Smarty was able to send me a "recovery file" for my early 04 to get it back to stock.Quote:

Guess we'll see how it plays out then !
Thinking of so, I've got a profile set up of for the channels, just wondering if you guys had any graphs you used / anything in particular?
Do you own a J-2534 tool?Quote:

HPtuners....any update on this return to stock situation? I am in the same boat with my ECM on a previous Smarty tune that was returned to ?stock?.
Contact smarty for a recovery flash file or take it in to a dealer to have a stock flash file flashed is the solution.
