Title: Cummins ECM change (split from another topic)
Post by: D.J. Osborn on April 01, 2015, 09:05:44 am

No - the M11 was a 370 hp model for '95 and '96, uprated at the factory to 400 hp. 97 went to 450. I would say that is an early spec sheet.

Our 1995 has the 400 hp engine. I've never seen the details on what Foreetravel did to accomplish the uprating. Did they simply flash the ECM, or was something else changed?

Since I'm in the middle of an ECM replacement on my '95 ($$$$) - that's 4 coach bucks... I can say its just a setting change.

Curiosity just gets me ?

Cummins Power South - ECM $2700

labor so far 1100, two trips mileage 108 miles - coach cant be towed due to the location in storage.

Power Masters and core reimbursement not applied yet.

Dave, when I was in PHX with the troubles on coach lately the Cummins folks thought my ECM was faulty and replaced it. The bill was $1300 for it and $625 core (which was of course deleted as they had old one on coach). Labor was $439.00 which included a tech going with me for 2 hr drive while he had computer hooked up to monitor engine etc.
Maybe you are getting a lot more work done that is included.?

These older M11 1st generation ECMs haven't been built in over 10 years.
Lack of availability is driving up the price.

 I guess so by the looks of it.
Why are they replacing it? Hopefully not just a wiring problem like mine was?

Dave H,
If you provide your engine number, I would be glad to see the rest of the story about your ECM.
