    So I downloaded the software, updated the module and installed easy 123. Turned on truck and abs/parking brake/ anti skid, lights are on. Removed unit and now the check engine light is on

    Did you try to power it before you mounted back the cluster?
    Check if any damage is on the board. could be faulty..
    Also when you place it behind the cluster make sure nothing is hitting it or pressing on it.

    Yes I powered up the truck before installing the cluster and the problem was there. When you ask the if any damage is on the board are you talking about the one the hypertech unit came with. I don’t see any damage. Tried unhooking unit and updating unit on laptop again, and I also tried clear vehicles computer by unhooking battery. Still didn’t work

    Did you keep a battery charger connected to it while installing?

    Ooops. Sorry. You are talking about the Hypertech interceptor.. I thought it was the speedo healer.

    So with it off are you able to read the code?

    It should have been. You can potentially fry your ECU

    ahhh you know what might be an issue as well?
    2014-2015 didn't have much issues..
    2016+ started to get some issues.. I think it was with the platinum models or something.. I'll try to find the thread. I remember the newer models had some type of issue before I bought my used one.

    Auto anything. Talked to Hypertech tech support, they seem to think it’s a bad harness.

    You don't need a battery charger with the Hypertech tuner. Its a plug in play system that reads your sensors and adjusts accordingly unlike the BD where it actually installs files to your ECU

    Disconnecting the battery for 20 mins or so will reset all the codes. My dash lit up like an xmas tree when I had the Hypertech first installed

    I’ve never had good luck with Hypertech. What I find that works the best is unplug the unit from vehicle, place on hard counter, use 3 lb sledge hammer and smack it no less than 38.45 times, open trash can lid, place parts in trash can, learn expensive lesson.

    So boardude, did it eventually go away, or did you have to change out the HT speedo calibrator?
