Looking at ebay, the sellers sell VIN programmed units, 07-14. So probably do just need VIN programmed.

I replaced mine once because the backlights were burned out, it was plug n play, but ya I am sure it's just a calibration file they used on the canadian ones

"You will need a TCM OS that's from the late side of the CAN comms breakpoint, your ECM is the late 127lb IFR variety. It won't talk to any TCM OS that was used with the earlier 63lb limit ECMs. Generally the breakpoint is 2009 for the early/late switch, but there is some bleedover depending on platform; 2008 anything is definitely an early and 2010 anything is definitely a late, but 2009 could be either."

What does all this mean?

The single speed transfer case was introduced in 2010 MY. So the 2009s used the MP3023 2-speed case. The 2007-2008s were still using the New Process transfer case.

That was regarding someone trying to get a 09 ECM to talk to an earlier transmission.
I thought since maybe there was a change in comms, it might affect his xfer case module, but apparently not. so NVM!

Does your aftermarket radio tie in to any of your trucks diagnostics to display codes or vehicle engine data?

If the shop tied into a data / canbus line it may be showing as a radio fault.
