Guy I had a spare ECM for my 01 lb7 and installed in the truck it was working

I then burnt a EFI licence and attemted to full flash a tune and it went into a unknown state:(

Can you fix it or do i need to purchase a new ECM and license?

There are people who can fix it... You have to pull the flash chip off it and then reburn it in an EEPROM reader. The hard part is getting the flash chip off the board, then you have to know what to flash into it.

Would you be able to fix the ECM on my LLY? The previous owner flashed it with something then traded it in without putting it back to stock. The dealership told me this was a $1600 fix... Yikes. From what I hear you are the man to talk to about ECMs though. So any help would be appreciated.

The dealer should just be able to put a new flash in it and put it back stock,

The dealers in our area charge $100 to hook up with the Tech II, read, then reflash for the stock settings and all the updates if you are out of warranty.

Sure, I'd be happy to help. Give me a call and we will work out the details.
