    You pulled the OE PCM and then put a PCM in from a GMT-800 and now the OE PCM will do nothing correct?

    I am a trained CNG system installer. Email me your VIN and I will look at the OE calibration and PCM Service number.

    This file is a 2003 2500HD 4X4 8.1L. DO NOT LOAD IT!
    Use this file to compare. Make sure the injector settings are correct for the injectors you have. Get the part number and check them.

    Is this a stock tune file?
