I purchased a '99 D2 with a bad BCU.
To remedy this as a testing procedure I had an extra BCU/ECU matched combo and replaced the pair and everything worked great and the truck runs good but the mileage flashed on the odometer.
The truck has 113k miles and the donor truck for the BCU/ECU had 190k miles. I work at the dealership and I used the T4 to run a odometer update which changed the mileage in the cluster to 190k :banghead:
So after a few conversations I realized that I basically screwed up in a way that is irreversable.
I bought a second BCU and Insturment Pack (ECU was not available) from another used truck with 116k miles and was told that the T4 can reprogram the used BCU to work with the ECU. When I attempt to do this through the "Computer Replacement" in the Vehicle Configurator screen on T4 it tells me that the BCU is locked and obtain one that has not been previously programmed.
My question is....Is there a step that I am missing to de program the used BCU?
Thanks in advance!
