2006/2006.5 ECM's?

There is another thread going on about converting from an 06.5 ECM to an 06 ECM. I am totally out of the know on this. Can someone fill me in on the differences/pros/cons?

Thanx.

I don't think anybody really knows why the 06.5 ECM's don't play well with programmers/someboxes...but I bet ALL the diesel power companies are trying to figure it out


maybe Bob or Quad might have some insite??? But they may not want to give out their secrets either

I believe the 06.5 ecm has more sensors and that is causing the problems.

I think trucks with 6-06 can go either way???
now go look through your drivers side wheel well and see what the build date on the ECM says..(mounted to the engine)

But the 06.5 trucks dont have any more sensors then a early 06 right??

My truck's build date 06/2006. I tried the Edge Juice/attitude, and it didn't work. They have released one for the 06.5, and it works just fine.
