Not to beat a dead horse but what?s everybody running for alternatives to the 545rfe?s running over 600 whp?3rd Trans just went south on me. Just read the t56 swap on here, sounds fun. Looking for a daily driver not 1/4.
545rfe alternative

Yep! Trucks at the tuners right now trying to turn off a couple transmission inputs. For some reason it still thinks its an auto and throwing a Fluid pressure CEL.

I'm using a stock pcm, and a manual valve body trans swap, I get one code that pops up. It doesn't bother me enough to spend $450 or so to get a flash done. Keith also had to change something in the tune to stop it from going into limp mode

Check with Max to see if he still has his 05 manual pcm. It's what I use without issues.

I was never able to get rid of the codes neither using a manual-flashed PCM, Diablo or HPTuners. I live in NY and to pass inspection you cannot have an active CEL so I had to go with a Manual PCM so that's no longer a problem.

My problem is that i DID pay the $450 to have mine reflashed and still throwing Auto trans codes. Talked with B&G today and they say there's no way around it>

Ok now that you proved yourself the chosen one, we will knight you on a holy mission. Come find my 10mm socket!!

Always buy extra 10mm sockets. I have three alone in 3/8 drive simply because I lost one, bought another, and then found the lost one later on.
I had been loosely watching for that PCM for some time now just because I have a 518 sitting on my bench. My 545 is holding for the moment but once it lets go again it will be getting done.

So got Max's 05 manual PCM on the way. Sucks I will have to pay to have the truck retuned and flashed with my Vin again!:facepalm: Wish B&G would have disclosed that their would be CEL's after the reflash. $450 for the reflash and an $800 dyno tune down the drain. :cry2:

I wish you had seen my build thread earlier, it would have saved you lots of money and headaches. I went thru the same thing, bought an HPTuner which did not work, Diablo doesn't work, and flashing the auto PCM does not work. If you live in a state that requires inspection you will need a manual PCM there is no way around it (as of today, maybe someone will figure something out later on)
BeeFast, I will PM you later with a tracking number

Looks like I spoke to soon. The PCM arrived today in it's the wrong part number. I called them and confirmed the VIN as an automatic. I'm sending it back and they are crediting me as it was the only one they had. I should have confirmed it first I suppose instead of trusting their knowledge. Figures...

Yep, I've had several folks tell me they had one and were wrong. The manual is a rare sucker. A guick initial ID is that a manual pcm c4 is a blank.
