well I reinstalled the td back on the 06 and it installed just fine and I then put the truck back to stock and took it back to my truck (which still want crank) and the install download screen comes up and I select cummins 5.9 and the TURN THE IGNITION TO THE ON POSITION BUT DO NOT START. I turn the ignition on and nothing happens it's like it is stuck there. i'll just have to wait and call bullydog.
I have some of the worst luck in the world

Well I just talked to bigsilver and we got his truck back up and running. To explain what happened...when they were uninstalling from the 2006 they didn't complete all the key cycles at the end of the download. This caused the Triple Dog to go into recovery mode for the 2006 truck. Then they took it to the 2003 and installed the recovery mode for the 2006 on the 2003. This in turn caused the 2003 not to start. To fix the problem we just had to set the Triple Dog into recovery mode for the 2003 and let it download the correct file into the truck.
mysterync not to bash or anything, but I have been working for Bully Dog for years now, and even helped design the original Dodge Cummins Power Pup. In all of that time (about 4 years now) I have seen only one ECM that I could not recover. So for you to say that you have had to change “ecm's”, I would have to say that you didn't talk to me.
I will acknowledge that a dealership does not always have the ability to fix an erased ECM and that for them to be able to fix it they would have to replace it. That is why if you have a Bully Dog problem you need to talk to Bully Dog to fix it. Like I said, I am not trying to get anyone’s dander up I just want people to have accurate information.
I've seen this alot, I've actully changed some ecm's over it! Heard plenty of opinions on the situation but usualy the ecm is eaither re flashed or a new one installed. Theres a bunch around here who constantly have problems with them, I've fixed 6 or so just unhooking the batteries and waiting 30 min, but thats not a grntd. fix!

Still working on it. I keep getting redirected with other things, like right now I am working on the PMT for the 6.7L, but it is still a priority. I'll let you know.

Buddy,
I think it would be great (if possible) If you could put togeather somthing like a Tech's Guide to the bully dog, Not releasing any trade secrets or anything by that means, but somthing to help guys through the recovery and situations such as this! I can understand theres reasons for making such a publication, but most are flying blind when it comes to recovery and problems? I worked in computers and in a dealership before i started my shop so i have somewhat of an advantage but are there any secrets?
Just Curious!
