    your not alone, i bought a truck with a locked ecm, my obd2 scanner before making purchases shows no dtc codes, but i have a check engine light on, and engine reduced power, mpvi3 on a read just skips the ecm read and reads the trans. i wasted credits trying to write a stock file from hpt. and just says unlicensed vehicle. maybe some one will chime in and help, honestly ive been fighting this truck for 18mo just to keep it running, and figured i would learn instead of constantly being told its this, or the last shop did this wrong. sounds like we are fighting the same thing. im running a 2008 3500 gmc drw, newer y bridge charge pipes, 4in exhaust, uppipes and down pipes recently rebuilt a turbo it is a 64mm compressor as the one that was replaced 18mo failed. i wish i could help.

    You wrote a stock file from a different VIN, which you licensed, not the file with the VIN for your truck. You will need to have a file with the information from your truck to license and flash. PM me and I can help you with that.

    If the truck has been deleted, your CTS3 will have compliant tuning on it so you will be left with a truck in limp mode. Do not flash with the CTS3 unless you have custom tuning on it. Buying it from Edge will NOT have custom tuning.
