Swapping 2006.5 ECM for 2006 ECM
I wonder if it's possible for us '06.5+ guys to swap ECM's with a pre-June 2006 model?
Mine has a June '06 build date so I guess there's a chance it doesn't have the '06.5+ ECM. Anyone have access to part numbers to see which is which? How would I find that info out?

Do you want to do this so you can use a different power module?
Sounds like it's going to be expensive!

It doesn't have the break down you're looking for, but it'll give you an idea of cost $1200-$1500.

Yeah, just for the purpose of stacking and being able to run boxes like the TST and C5.
I've seen a bunch of used ones at salvage yards for $200-$500. Can they be "reflashed" to match another truck?

The dealer can only up date software version not change vehicle type or config.If the ECM you buy had skim it will not run a non skim truck.Used ECMs are risky!

Justin, you may be able to check the ECM build date on your AE scantool...I cant remember if it works on the non enhanced software.
I also don't know what the date or info would be to see if your truck is 06.5 ecm....but you may want to plug in and check..then I could look at my 06 ECM and tell you what mine says
let me know....

So what manufacturing date does your truck have (on the door sticker), and what does it say for your ECM?

Then I looked through the front drivers wheel well and saw this on a sticker stuck to the cummins ECM...

well when you order it they send you the SCI connector ...But you still use the OBDII connector you bought first...but now it has unlocked the enhanced.

It sounds like the scan tool is talking out it's you-know-what.
Mine is P/N 4937149 with D/C 06/08/2006.

Not 100% sure. June is the cutoff date for the truck models, but it wouldn't surprise me there were trucks made in June that still used the 06 ECM.
