You beat me this time Robert lol Also the guys might want to watch handling the newer ecm they do it wrong and they might smell like fried chicken. Get the special gloves out for this job lol.

Why in the hell would you need special gloves for a '10 reflashed TCM? 12 volts won't hurt you.:rolleyes:

Not the tcm on the ecm Gm had a service info to wear a special shock proof gloves when messing with the newer ecm.

The new Duramax engines are equipped with Bosch piezoelectric fuel injectors. These injectors operate a high voltage, indicated by the orange color of the injector harness.

IMPORTANT: Do not make contact with the fuel injector harness, ECM or fuel injectors while the ignition is in the On or Run position. Use certified insulated gloves EL-48286. These Class 0 gloves are rated at 1000 v. Check for functionality and check the expiration date of the gloves.

The ECM supplies high voltage and provides a ground. Voltage is supplied up to 160v at 20 amps, and can peak up to 240 v. This causes the injector to open. The capacitor discharges through an injector for initial opening and holds open with 12 v.

Danger: Before working on any high voltage fuel injection system, be aware of the following procedures:
Do not make contact with the fuel injection harness, engine control module (ECM) or fuel injectors while the ignition is ON or RUN positions.
Wait 5 minutes after key OFF to allow the electronic control module (ECM) to discharge before attempting to disconnect or test engine control components.
Do not use the electronic control module (ECM ) case as a ground while jump starting.
Failure to follow the procedure exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.

Thanks guys! I think I will go for the Puck but keep my eye out for the Banks one too.

That lower price make sure it was for your Lml. And if it is there selling for a few dollars above cost so good luck if you ever need it covered under warranty that or much help from the seller.
