Does the truck need to be flashed for the EB to work with the auto tranny? I know it doesn't for the Getrag, not sure though on the 48RE. For the manual tranny, new wiring to the ECM informs the computer a EB is installed.
BTW, here's a link to the manual;

No, it doesn't. There's only two thing associated with the EB that the computer takes care of. One is trans TC lockup under compression. Because this is something you want even without an EB, it is already there and working.
The other thing the puter does is allow activation of the EB when throttle is at 0%. This too is present at the computer but is a pin that is simply not used until an EB is wired in. (This step is the most scary of the whole installation but is really quite easy).
So no trip to the dealer is needed nor is any computer change.
To clarify, the wire attached to the computer doesn't tell the ECM the EB is there, that pin simply provides a negative signal for the EB relay when ever the throttle is 0%. That function is working right now but nothing is connected to it.
Any 2006 or 2007 RAM truck is ready to go as-is.
Nice huh?
