I would not randomly just flash another OS onto a computer until I knew for sure what is on the PCM at this time. Be aware that there are MANY differences between various operating systems some of which include injector sizing and injector data. Some are DBW, and some are DBC. Some PCM's that were set up at the factory for DBC CANNOT be used for DBW set ups.. That's why it's critical you identify the OS and programming that is in the computer now. Are you running an automatic, or manual transmission? If auto-which one? Is the current OS set up to run the trans you are planning on using? Sooo many questions... Start by "READING" the existing OS and programming on the PCM and see if it matches up with the engine/trans/settings that you need.
