13 Durango 3.6l tuning issues

Hi, i posted somthing similar roughly a year and a half ago about this issue but i was not able to complete it on my end because of my work schedule. Id like to make a second attempt at it. Here is my problem.

I have been having numerous hiccups when tuning my 13 Durango. First when saving original backup It takes nearly 3 or 4 tries before it saves the backup. It states original backup not saved -11. When this happens I have to pull the key and leave the D alone for a minute or 2 because it locks the vehicle up. After the vehicle powers down i can make another attempt. Eventually it will save the backup.

The next problem from there is, it also takes multiple times to get the tune to take. On a failed attempt the trinity tells me PCM:error unlock for refresh -18. The trinity locks up but the truck functions normally afterwards. Eventually it will install. This is just frustrating when changing tunes or switching vehicles.

Trinity is updated to 1r13g
cal id is 68170442AC
Vin: 1C4RDHAG0DC689113

If I need a cal update I should have the vehicle all day if needed.

we can try forcing a calibration update to the pcm, can you give us a call today with the device powered up in the truck?

Thanks

Well there was an issue when trying to do the calibration update. The application froze after i plugged the trinity in. I saw the calibration update button but DS downloader closed before it did anything. I tried it again and the calibration update button is no longer shown.
