Angry TST reflashed ECMS and Cummins

I contacted TST to see if the still offered the reaflashed ecm but they told me Cummins put the stop to it......... since when would a company be able to stop after market products. I was wondering how it would stack up to the Mad Ecm with performance and price..... andbody running one apparently they made quite a few

I have a customer that still drives a 97(?) that Mark Chapell "reprogramed". He says Mark did it with a lap top in the parking lot.
Have always suspected Marco is doing the ECM's in a similar fashion...but maybe being outside the US (Italy) Dodge can't threaten to sue.

I believe the reason TST was forced to stop was because they merely reflashed the "Cummins" 275hp program into the ECM. Marco is actually changing the values in the ECM so not much Cummins can do about it.

It did not help much that Mark used to work for Cummins. Many times former employees have agreements that prevent them from doing such things. Gotta love those stinking lawyers.

I thought it was a Dodge ECM on a Cummins motor. Dodge has a 50 pin connector while Cummins uses a 100 pin.

If that were true I wonder if you could switch to the Cummins ECM and gain all the functions that Dodge cut out?? Like High idle etc.

Would probably be a wiring nightmare.......

Guys, here is the link to Cummins press on the subject.

If the Cummins lawyers say they can't use the Cummins software then I guess we have to deal with it.
