So it is done!
Ended up doing this on a MacOS running virtual machine on Windows7 image.
This seemed to work better than Windows 10 machine as I did not have to powercycle the programmer to initiate read/write operation.
Also the checksum error only occurred while reading the blank PCM...
Working on this right now and it seems like the binary in the new PCM is what is causing the checksum error. Hooked it up to the PCM on the vehicle and read the binary and checksum is correct.
Writing the backed up binary into the new PCM as we speak.
Here is a update and I would like to ask some of you who have backed up their original ECM for help.
I tried this on the native Windows machine and I am getting the same error when I tried to read the ECM.
Interestingly, the virtual machine did not need to power cycle the Scanmatik but the...
I did and when I do, I do not get the error as it shouldn't.
So here is a question for yall, are you guys unchecking the verify option? Also if you do, do you get the same error as I am seeing?
I know you didn't mean that SSD is required.
I am not sure if the it is virtual machine is...
I have another machine coming in the next few days. My MBP already has SSD. Ordered a government surplus tough laptop with windows and SSD to keep it in the garage. I will try it again and see if the read process goes properly. Will report back in a few days.
I got it setup with Virtualbox that I am running a virtual machine running Win7 off of my old MacBook Pro.
I should be able to share this image and you would be able to do the whole process off of a Mac or at least a 2013 MacBook Pro. Since it is a virtual machine there is no real worries...
I don't track my Gladiator so I think I will be ok.
One thing I found challenging with the Analog HDs is that because there is no big enough opening for hand to fit on the wheel, it is tougher to pick it up and visualize the position of the lugs when mounting it on the vehicle
I also think...

I put mine under the passenger seat.
Diesel is slightly easier as it has part of the halo wiring already done. You just need that 1 wire on the passenger side and luckily there is part number for that short segment of wire bundle.
Update on the install with nothing special to report. The tint designed for the tail light with patterns drawn on the film is holding up well. I don't think I will ever swap out the until it chips or cracks.
The film looks tinted from outside and inside it shows hexagon patterns.
Have...
I would give a few days and see if it is still weird.
I remember when I did the adaptive cruise control install. Automatic High Beam feature took literally like a 3 days to become active.
Also is your vehicle inside the garage? Have you tried driving it around?
When did you replace the...
