Where can you buy a new ECU? How much do they cost?

 

PM GTPprix. I got mine from him a few months ago. Was programmed properly, plug and play...Easy to deal with

 

Do you have to do a clutch re-learn with these cars when getting a new ECU?

 

I had a plug and play setup...then two days later it was flashed w/ trifecta tune

 

Not if you get the one with the newest OS. I got mine from GTPprix also, no issues at all.

 

Can the dealers detect or see that the OEM ECU has different miles then what the car displays? as if i took my stock one out and then replaced it back 3 weeks later can tehy tell?

 

Yes, the dealer can track if you've swapped your ECM for another unit even if you put the stocker back in when they scan it. The info is stored in a separate computer on the car, the BCM, it stores info on the last 15 flashes and ECM's I believe, it may be less though. Either way most dealers don't take the time to scan, mine hasn't and I'm on a tuned stocker. A buddy of mine who was a tech at a Saturn dealership gave me that info a while ago, I forgot about it until I saw a few other members on this site mention the same thing.

 

No, they cant. The only ECM that has the ability to do this (and its stored in the ECM) is the 2007.5+ LMM Diesel ECM. If you buy and tune a second ECM and replace it with your 100% stock one for dealer trips you are fine hence why I stock them

 

thanks again gtpprix for the ecu!! everyone buy em from him smooth transaction and plug and play right out of the box

 

how much???

 

x2!!!

 

X3 I REALLY want one lol

 

Okay I sorta trust GTPprix, I have bought other items off him, but would just like someone to confirm this. I have heard others say that they can tell, and GTP is pretty confident that they cant(he does work at a dealer also). But can anyone confirm this. LIke someone who has bought one off of him and then put the stock one back in for service?
THanks guys!

 

Find a wrecked Cobalt/G5 that has the same engine as yours and of the same ECU.

 

Dude go look up my background if you don't trust me you cant trust ANYONE on this topic LOL

 

how much!?!?!?!?!?!?! lol

 

did you get the PM I sent you?

 

did you get my PM?

 

yes I'll take care of everything Friday.

 

perfect, thanks.

 

FYI I know a few of you have been asking about me ever getting more of these... I got a couple in Today but these were a complete surprise so I dunno if there will ever be more. If anyone needs one please let me know...

 

Bump for a good guy. Got mine and loved it! Not really classifieds but figured I'd chime in
