Just wondering if anybody has had any dealings with Flagship one for ecm or pcm replacement. Is their lifetime warranty any good.

Here is  a list @pepsi71ocean has put together with experiences. I personally dont know about Flagship one but have heard their name before.

 

@Auto Computer Specialist is one of the vendors here. You might want to look them up.

I'm not in need of one their add keeps showing up on my Facebook and I was just curious. From what I read these are brand new units not repaired ones they build then flash to the vin of the truck.I would hope they are anyway for $900.

While I see they do not require a core, the two I looked at were listed as "refurbished".

Wonder how they get enough units if they don't want a core returned.

Doesn't make sense to me either.

Maybe they notify wrecking yards to buy the units as soon as they come in. If they make a higher offer than everyone else they get the units. Then sell em to us at a mark up.

 

If they come from a wrecked vehicle they are more likely to be functioning units and don't want to do repairs on your non working unit.

Nothing to core out. The circuit board is mylar and it glued directly to the aluminum cover. If it burnt or damaged there is nothing to core out. 

 

So what do they or anyone for that matter refurbish?

I'm really curious about this too since I've noticed allot of this stuff on Facebook ads lately.

Some information I got a couple years ago was that there is a fuse inside the ECM that often burns and is just a matter of soldering in a new fuse. The problem is dealing with the gel and getting the case open. The fuse also does not look like a normal style fuse, but like a very small component.
