I've had this happen to me before with a Quad tuner. Fortunately for me I had a Predator with a stock calibration stored to load the ECM.

Anyone with EFI or a dealer with a stock map for your year can help you out. PPE could probably load you a stock map if you have the time to wait and send back your programmer. Not sure of their capabilities to do by e-mail and a USB cable.

You will have to find a dealer that will work with you as many question may be asked as to why you lost it. The ECM will have to be brought to your dealer if that is your only option. A dealer with a bench loader also,not all have them I found out.

is this the Race version. I don't think they can do anything online. If not the Race version call them and see what to do. They may say install update or something. Hurry not open on Saturday as far as I know. If you get it going post back to what all was done. Also if you need truck then might plan an afternoon to have it towed to dealer for a re-flash but if ECM then that be bad.

Did you ever have the truck flashed to the latest os from the dealer? I know LMM's would just lock up themselves.

Since it is at the Dealer now it might be an easy fix.

I just read this from your first post
i tryed updateing programer it says it is one you can if you do i would lose race setting hell at this point i wouldnt care so i tryed to do that and still nothing guess

When you did the above you whiped out your truck stock OS from the PPE.Now it needs to be returned to PPE and be programed not sure what it will cost you.The dealer should be able to reprogram your ecm but look at around 200.00 bucks for it if not move.When you returned your truck to stock I take it used the Back to stock setting.Does did you have the doors open andything on in the truck does it have ONstar did you unplug all the fuses?

So you put DPF back on for now or just drive around with code thrown. Glad you got it running anyways.
