    True. Don't understand. I got passed "rapidly"; I inquired how he did it over coffee, and even
    accepted his "help" in adjusting mine. Never be too proud to learn new things.

    I’m at home recuperating after 4200+ miles in 6 days. This pace is making me feel old. Thursday and Friday the traffic seemed extra heavy and stupid. Hopefully celebrating the resurrection of my Lord and savior will settle my temper. Happy Easter everyone.

    When i first got that truck I had a few guys, a driver and a couple shop guys tell me about it. So I suppose more than those knew about it and someone probably snitched as they had a tracking system in most of the trucks but not that one.
    Never could understand the childish attitude some have. Like they are stuck in a 65 mph truck. So they should know that snitching on my truck isn't going to get their truck turned up but, in all likelihood, get mine turned down. But they do it anyway. Like if I can't do something, I'll make it so you can't either. Children.

    I have to second this.

    Any changes to the ecm will be at the very least time stamped with the engine hours at time of change.

    MAYBE even day and date, depending on the diag program.

    It is common for fleet mechanics to be told to check for such changes during routine service.

    Some will just quietly change it back, and if asked about it later blame it on the software update.

    Some will go running to the maintenance manager with the printout: "BOSS! LOOKIT ME! I FOUND ONE TURNED UP!"

    And from what I've heard about Stevens, I doubt they'll have a sense of humor about it. Fuel economy is important to their business model. Cost them money, they'll kick ya to the curb.

    Good luck.

    The diagnostic/service programs I was (it's been a few years) most familiar with were Detroit and Allison. With both, some changes in the programming required a phone call directly to them in order to get either a password (Detroit) or the calibration you wanted sent to you (Allison).

    In Detroit's case it was if the customer who'd specced/ordered the truck requested password protection on specific items in the software.

    Allison it was to make sure the calibration/changes you wanted to do weren't going to cause the transmissions untimely demise.
