ECMlink NO start, ECMlink, 2 different ECU's

Given that your "old" I would expect better use of logic.

The "chip" for DSM/ECMLink being bad != ECU technology unreliable. You've said that both the ECUs are good but that the DSM/ECMLink

The v3 ECMLink module uses current technology at least as sophisticated as anything you'll find in the AEM or Accel DFI.

Did you send the part back to ECMTuning and let them diagnose why it failed?



I understand. If that's your complaint, perhaps it's time for a newer car.

I am an Automotive Engineer (designed ELECTRICAL parts for OE's for a decade). Yes, I have newer cars, a number of them, all newer.

From an Engineering standpoint, the DSM board is simply old technology. It's like arguing that a cellular phone from 1992 is better than an i-phone 5, because it has a case on it. I really don't care why it failed, it failed.

It failed, I don't want it to fail again. The Old 2003 Accel DFi Gen 7 in my dually lasted 100k without a hiccup. From my personal experience, thats my decision. No sense being snappy....
