That would be ugly as sin. There's some guy who lives in the Seattle area that supposedly knows how to make the stock unit work well as a stand alone. I'm inclined to believe that there is probably a way to pick up signals between the engine and tranny because I have a hard time believing that Motorola would actually spend the money to reinvent the wheel. I'm just running on a hunch, and only time and experiments will tell.
I just wish that the ECM and the PCM were "open source" software instead of proprietary to the Nth degree.
But Cummins isn't going to release their software, Motorola isn't going to divulge their secrets an neither is Dodge or GMC, and they would all have to agree for that to happen to benefit me. It would also put the makers of aftermarket programmers out of business, but I've spent $1,200 or more already programming the 7.3 and it's now junk- and the truck only has 117,000 miles on it.

As an aside, I'm going to be pissed if all of my PM's got dumped in the change over to this new software, and so far, it looks like they are gone.
