Hey gang,
I've been lurking around the board trying to find answers to my many questions, but haven't had much luck. Hoping someone here can give me a little guidance (and this is the right sub forum for the question!).
I have a wrecked 2007 Dodge 2500 with the 5.9L CR engine. I'm going to be swapping it into a 1970 Ford F250, and I'm working on thinning out the wiring harness at the moment. I have a Flashscan V3 from EFI Live and have been trying to disable the SKIM module so I can eliminate it. Here's what I've done:
- Pull stock tune
- Change E6510 (Vehicle Anti-Theft) to Disabled
- Flash modified tune to ECM
This process went fine, but I did the whole thing with the SKIM module still plugged in. When I unplugged it I get the security light on, and a no-crank result. I repeated the above process after unplugging the module, and still have the same result (red light on, no crank at all). I pulled the battery cables and held them together to reset the TIPM based on more reading, and still no change.
I'm under the impression that guys are disabling the security on a normal basis, particularly for swaps. What am I doing wrong here? Are there other areas that need to be modified to eliminate SKIM? (I can't find any in EFI Live.) I've read in the past that people used stock C&C tunes to eliminate the anti theft. I read out the code I uploaded and it still shows the anti theft as disabled. VIN is also correct (all stock components and ECM). Is security stored elsewhere at all?
Long term I may build my own stand alone harness if I can convince myself that TIPM is not needed and I can still control the 48RE. Just trying to eliminate the security issue first!
Thanks!
