Ive been reading all 5 or 600 posts on the clb, for the last 2 days. I have a 97 there has been quite a few probs with the clbs in the early c5s. There is no flash on the latest recall. Not on the a4 just mn 6. So is it possible you didnt read all there is on the subject. ...Im making this decision because if somthing goes wrong that the dealer did there responcable and there gonna fix it. If its a after market part and it takes a dump and you fry a computer along with the part guess what your out of luck and the dealers gonna love you then because hes making money on your stupidity.
You think the dealer's gonna give a chit about the problems you're gonna have after they do the recall and they're gonna fix it??
GM cannot fix this issue plain and simple. I would think that after reading 600 posts on this that any logical person would come to that conclusion.I have never seen nor heard of any instance where a CLB caused the PCM or BCM to take a dump. None...that's mostly laughable to think that it would.
The only stupidity I see is in those that continue to ignore this problem or take it to the dealers to "fix" it and actually think that it's gonna happen.
NOT doing the recall and installing a CLB is the only way to avoid problems. Have a good one!!

So you think they're not reflashing eh? Not exactly...I called two dealers today and YEAH they're still reflashing and doing the fuel cut-off no matter what tranny you have

NOT doing the recall and installing a CLB is the only way to avoid problems. Have a good one!!The funny thing is he thinks he will be saving money by letting the dealership do the recall. Wait until he is stalled out in the middle of no where in the middle of the night and has to have his car towed (probably damaging the car even more). Then have the dealership claim it is a "new" problem and charge him a few more hundred dollars for a repair that won't last.
Seriously Slick Rick, you are in the perfect situation to use the CLB. I know many posters here would love to have NOT gone to the dealer for the recall and been able to install the CLB with out the reflashing. You can believe what you want about dealerships but one thing that has been proven over and over here is that they are terribly inconsistent in following recall procedures. I can assure you that I have no vested interest in the CLB and I am only trying to save you alot of aggravation and frustration. Again, good luck with whatever decision you make.
