Wsell don't know about that but i do know that some of the rep[lacement parts have to be down loaded into the cars/ truck computer as they are NOT A PLUG AND PLAY . and sometimes NOW this is a good thing . Case in point here , We needed a car now and at the time we did no0t want to dive into a new one and i found the as i call it the REVENGER . It had a couple problems that i thought i could handle .It had a problem with the anti loc brakes and traction control . It was SUPPOSE to be just the module not a super big deal just remove six brake lines upnplug and un bolt replace , NOT . The unit my cost was just a 178 and change . Yea i could R &* R it but it would not work till it was flashed into the computer and had to be plugged into the scan star system and factory coding had to be flashed . Neat , at times it is nice to have good friends in low places that can pull strings . For what the module would cost my friends at the dealer would do it . Simple job of R & R and flash , total time 2 hours and 45 min. WELLLLLLLLLLLlllllll that did not go as planed . As the NEW module out of the box was defective and in turn FRIED another part of the system and it was going to take three days to get another one from National . So in the mean time they gave me a new Cherokee to drive . Three days later they call me and let me know that they were still having problems with defective parts and just keep on driving the Cherokee . week one has come and gone and into week two and the REVENGER is growing a beard stetting in the same stall. After three and a half weeks they finally get everything talking to each other and all is well . Then the throttle body takes a dump and it has to be flash coded , then the Cat plugs up and it has to be flash coded . Just because you break down and buy the best Scan tools out there off the candy wagons guess what they may tell you what MIGHT be wrong but they are not going to flash code with the factory . This is what the companys want . I said i would never buy a scan tool , well i lied i bought a high dollar Snap on Solus and you have to spend big bucks to upgrade with each new model year . Just how much of this new tech do we really need to haul our donkeys from point A to B . I may be and old fart a non conformist what have you but all i need is something that will stop and go and not break down . I don't need heated and cooled seats , i don't need the car/truck to tell me or fight me to stay in my lane , i don't need it BEEPING at me everytime someone comes up from behind or along side . i do not need anti lock braking , and i really don't even like a automatic trans . I don't even mind changing points every 10 or 12000 miles . ya all can keep this new stuff . Myself i have not liked any cars built since 71 and the last half decent truck i have owned was a 79 F 250 Ford and it had it's problems . My 73 f 250 was a good truck other then the ft. end as the Dana 44 was way to light and ate spider gears like M & M's but it was cheap to fix and in three and a half hours you could be back on the road.
