I am so down to get rid of the theft options, lol any input on how I’d go about doing that?

So, I’ve found another option I’m gonna try. I found a 5.3/8l90 flash on the hp tuners repository, I’m gonna segment swap the o/s in my factory ecm to be pretty much a clone of what I need, and then I just need the correctly programmed Tcm and it should work.

Bump for an older thread..

So I know that the Allison Diesel T87(a)'s can be overwritten to that of a gasser as i've done it with success with GM SPS.

I'm pretty sure that you can also do a full write with HP Tuners if you have the correct TCM OS you want to flash.

Pretty sure you have this sorted by now, but for anyone else looking...
