ECM problem during Magna SC install

[mralexx]

I purchased it used so I have no idea of it's previous mods or history, I decided to go ahead and replace the ecm and get it reprogrammed. Maybe something went wrong with the install and the shop sold me a lame ass story. I'll find out when I pick it up.

Humtech,

No remote start is wired in, from what Im aware of.

Can also kill an ecm if the battery dies during programming

This is a new issue with it being "used". model years have different parts/programs/set ups for the same Supercharger kit. Do you have all the proper components for your model year? For example the 2003 has an external fuel pump, while a 2005 requires the intank pump to be replaced (these parts form components of the kit). Could you confirm that the kit came from the same model year as yours? Also for any reason programming is interupted or loss of power occurs (while programming) you could make the ecm unusable.

I purchased the magna charger new from autoanything.com, the h2 was purchased use sorry for the mix up. I spoke with the GM dealer and got a hold of the service rep who I always took my Escalade to. He told me the ecm works fine with the current setup, just would not take the reflash. I should have the rig back tomorrow I'll let you all know how it is. BTW any input on transmission upgrades? I live in Washington, any reputable shops in Tacoma or Seattle?

For the transmission there are many things you can do. All I have done was install the corvette servos to firm up the shift a little, installed an oversized tranny cooler, and a larger tranny oil pan to keep my Trans temp to around 150 degrees all the time. With you living in Washington I would think you may need a thermostat for the tranny oil though. BTW never had a transmission problem.

Finally got it in, big difference from 3k-5k rpm. Digging the "whine!" Next up is a lift/rims tires, headers, and gearing. Rancho lift plus truxx keys fit 40s no rub?
