I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for. I can't connect with EFI Live. Do I have to get the dealer to reflash or is my ECM pooched?

If EFI Live cannot connect to your truck at all... as in going to the scan tool and connecting to the truck to clear DTC's or log something then the Lighter Fuse is blown. If EFI Live can connect to the truck then you have a different problem. I had a similar thing happen to me yesterday, unplug both batteries for approx. 15 minutes then reconnect and that should fix it.

no problem, let us know how you make out :hug:

Thanks for the help guys, the wife has kept me too busy to look at my truck today. She let me go to 4 pulls since Thursday so I have to be a really good boy for a while.

It wasn't actually frozen, I had changed my pids from metric to imperial and it wouldn't let my truck connect. I changed it back and it works fine now. Thanks for the help.
