Hello, we've got a 2016 MX-13 EPA13, with a bad ECM. Dealer has tried reflashing it several times, cannot get it to take the update. No physical damage. They say we should replace, but you know how that is these days. No idea on ETA for a new one. Has anyone tried to get these repaired? We have done with our older Cummins and a Detroit one, but not seeing many options for Paccar.

Repairs can and do work.....HOWEVER, the quality of the repair and if it even can be repaired will depend heavily on the guy doing the work. What tools he has and what exactly is wrong. If a chip popped off and needs to be soldered back on then most shops can do that. If the PCB is burned due to a short then your SOL. Also keep in mind a poor soldering job could destroy the ECM entirely or only buy you a few days or even cause engine damage when the computer gets confused.
A much better option is just get a used or rebuilt one with a warranty. Vander haags has several in stock right now. While its not as good as new obviously they typically come with a warranty and your going to get a better quality then a questionable repair.

rosnorter Thanks this.

Seems like a lot of unknowns buying a used ECM, considering how good ours looked. Was in a T880, 6000 hours only 90000 Kilometers. So hadn't had a lot of bouncing around. But I guess it's made by men, will break. -
I have contact info for a repairer in the UK.
Turn around is not fast due to shipping and hold ups in customs from the US.
PM if interested.Oxbow and spsauerland Thank this. -

spsauerland Thanks this.

That's what I've come to realize. You haven't tried any of the rebuild places?

Last one I got back was around 1500 all together with shipping. Took around 2 months there and back. Have another there now.
spsauerland Thanks this.
