6.0 won't turn over. Needs flashed

I Have a Bully dog "pup" programmer and when I was programming my truck it quit working. Hoping for some answers. How do I get it to start, can I get it started without taking it to a shop.

Moved to 6.0L PSD forum.

Good luck getting her fixed, Greg.

I would contact the Bully dog manufacturer. They may have had complaints and may know what to do.

Agreed, but if it quit working in the middle of flashing, you'll need to have the PCM reflashed by someone with an IDS. Been there and done that...

I would still wait to see what Bully Dog has to say on the problem.
Alter all SCT has fixed a failed load for other people.

By any chance did you make a backup of you stock strategy?

Does this take an IDS to achieve I assume it does but sounds like a very wise thing to do

The ones I have seen were able to restore from the backup file
with the tuner that they were using at the time them made the backup.

No VCM and IDS needed.
