its locked and wash throwing this up on his Tech 2 in a big red box BOOTLOADER REJECTE sooo looks like i need a ECM so that being said any ideas i was thinking about saving up and getting one from duramaxtunner loaded with a DSP5 for stock trans and EGR turned off any imput fellas

 

you are correct. it is a bunch of baloney.

the most the glow plugs will be on after the engine starts is 60 seconds and that is at -40 degrees. at 25 to 90 degrees it is 30 seconds.

i have had mine disconnected for almost 4 years with no starting issues. lowest i have had to start it in was 14 degrees and it started no problem.

 

I too was wondering about that ... I usually never wait either .. too damn busy for waiting ..LOL

 

it is possible that you may be able to recover it by bench flashing it with EFI Live.

Bricked my ECM in my LB7? - Chevy and GMC Duramax Diesel Forum

it may have also been flashed before and locked with EFI Live.

there is also a posibility of finding an LB7 at a wrecker and buying the ECM from then and then flashing your VIN into it.

 

Sounds like a real fun time ......NOT !!!!

 

no one around has efi live tools so I can't get one and flash it or bench flash mine any ideas

 

Bummer ... well, go get it for your truck ... would be worth having ... expencive if your broke , but worth having if you can afford it ...LOL

 

man I really wish I knew someone with with a v2 or something so all id have to do is bench flash it or buy a efi license and tune it

 

have you gotten a new ECM yet ? I would snag one out of a salvage yard, flash it to your truck and get it home before the mechanic start racking up a massive bill on ya ...just my $.02 .... fast and easier too

 

I can't flash it no one around here can and all junkyards in 250 miles don't have a lb7
