ON THE ROAD AGAIN! I've gotta give huge kudos to Diablosport. I don't prefer the method (forum only...for the most part) for customer service and support they use... and if you read thru their forums you can sense the frustration level sometimes in their customers. I'm here to tell you, when...

here is a pic of my dmax sitting on my equipment trailer, connected to my wifes z71 notice I had to remove the two fronts custom wheels and tires to fit between the fenders. I just noticed her truck needs a bath...it's actually a very good looking truck. Oh yeah, one other tip don't ever think...

YESSIR! :) Mike emailed me late yesterday to say they were successful at reloading the backup file from my tuner to my ECM. They shipped it overnight and it will be here by 2:30 today. yea!!!

Yeah, it was just a bad day all around for me...everything that could go wrong did. I don't know if I mentioned it earlier in this thread but, not only was my truck running (and I still don't know at what point I inadvertently told it to load the tune but, my son was also connecting the trailer...

They didn't say...I mean, I don't know if they're paying for it but I'll probably pay the $80.00 to ship it back overnight....at this point, the two Benjamins for repair and shipping is chump change compared to new ECM and reflash at the stealer.

Well, after Mike convinced me he was certain they could fix my ECM, I mailed them my ECM and predator...they received it around lunch today....now the wait game. They should be able to tell me something by tomorrow. This is definitely one of those "oh shoot!!" times in my life that I'll not...

What exactly is a theft learn? Would my tuner still have to be sent back due to the failed load of my original backup? I just thought of something...diablosport gave me an RMA number...wouldn't that indicate there would be no cost to me (other than shipping)? They never actually mentioned...

Yeah, I think I've gone from bad to worse. Ended up going to a closer dealer (friggin geico roadside) and they charged me the full $101 and some change to tell me I have a really expensive paper weight for a ecm. New ecm is over $800.00 at the stealer. I called Diablosport and Mike said he...

You are correct. Called the dealer I normally use about an hour from me...they said $100.00. I talked to the Service manager and he remembered me as the guy that was very patient after the third or forth trip to them to fix the same leaky axle seal...said he would do it for $43.50. Here is my...

That is the bright side lol and I have always wondered...I can tell you this, it won't happen again. Any of you know if the dealer charges to reflash the ecm? Mike acted like it was free or minimal charge but told me whatever I do, do NOT let the dealer sell me a new ECM and to call him from...

Talked to Mike a diablosport - said I have to get the ecm reflashed (I think that was the term he used) at a dealer or I can send it to them, and then he can talk me through re-loading the original backup. No matter what I do, looks like I'm dead in the water for several days...that sucks.

There is an option to force original backup to load but then warns you that this option is for techs only then prompts for a password

In hind sight, I may have attempted to load the tune while the truck was running. I was backing up to my big trailer watching my 14 year old son guide me back, had the tuner in my hand and was updating the tune, thinking as soon as I hooked the trailer up, I would shut the truck off and install...

They came off the first year of the turbo 7.3 - early 90's. So, the 8 lug pattern is different for the newer fords? I hadn't heard that I thought all 8 lugs were the same...hmmm learn something new everyday.

so, ferm are you the closest one to me with efi live?

disconnected both positive cables for almost two hours - same thing. So, it can be reset with a tech 2 or efi live?

batteries disconnected for about 30 minutes. Same thing.

Batteries are disconnected will reconnect and try in about 15. Yes I checked their forums while I sat on hold. Not much on the forums except it appears at least one person had to send them their ecm and tuner to resolve. I'll keep you posted - thanks for the responses btw. Smitty

...might be my skyrocketing blood pressure causing my spelling errors as I sit on friggin hold with Diablo Sport....40 minutes now. I have a major wiring job tomorrow and no truck...this sucks!

got an error that the tune didn't load after modifying the tune for the new tire size. Tuner automatically went to "restore original backup" after giving a "tuned failed to load" error... tried to restore original backup - got error "Error unlock for reflash (-1) I'm totally dead in the water...
