Memorize or write down which is the original and which is the new one.<br \/>\n3) Determine whether the ECM on the truck is a 40-pin or 70-pin.<br \/>\n3a) If the ECM is a 40-pin, locate flash file# 125-8005. Copy and paste this file into the same location as the first two files.<br \/>\n3b) If the ECM is a 70-pin, locate flash file# 177-7013.
