Default Help I'm Stranded

While on dyno uploaded wrong program (one for a 5.3 chevy truck) will not let me install correct program for a 5.7 what do I do? Will I have to take to a dealer and have reflashed? I'm on vacation and run across a dyno day and got into trouble with having the 2 programs in my computer and hit wrong button and downloaded the truck to the tuner . Help my car thinks it's a truck

Will the software let you do a full re-write? I know there is some option (if you are using HPTuners), but I don't know if it is only in the pro version.

Are you running HPTuners? If so, you need to ask them. They *may* have a suggestion. How fast do you need it fixed? If you have your original file saved somebody with the pro version may be able to help you out.

I don't think he is using HP Tuners. We don't have a slot based licensing scheme.

Really appericate all the replies. I'm stuck here in Tenn. and the tuner is going to get the us to a dealer in the morning to reflash back to stock. All SHOULD go well, just really scares you when your this far away from home. Thanks Mike TexaSS, if any problems come up tomorrow I'll be calling you. Thanks Johnny

Monodax, didn't see the advanced menu but will try and rewrite VCM in the morning as first thing before loading it up and going to a dealership. Thanks for the heads up
