Probablly, but not sure. Some can be reflashed to correct at dealership, if guy is sharp enough. May have some fault codes show up.

I think it is just the software that is different. So a reflash with the correct software should do it. You might try contacting Bob Wagner on here and see if he knows. He has done a fair amount of ecm finagaling with the catcher ecms and now the smarty programmers.

Already did that yesterday. Bob is hooking me up with a reflash. Thanks
