First problem. The V2 needs to be plugged in, in order to upgrade the OS. then once that is done you no longer need the V2 plugged in to make modifications to the .tun file you created.

When full flashing you don't need to do anything to the onstar or pull fuses that was a LLY and LB7 thing. '06 and newer trucks use a dedicated GMLAN and not the Class2 databus to flash. The only things on the GMLAN is the TCM and ECM, nothing to worry about.

It would also probably be a good idea to familiarize your self with the PDF document that is provided with the beta software as it is the upgrading tutorial.

ok ill try plugging the V2 in and let u know but for full flashing on the LBZ i just need to turn off my radio and stuff like that and do a full flash and no harm done??? correct? ill get back with u in a min on the update thing cuz i updated everything and repulled the tune from my truck and still no luck on custom OS but ill try again .. thanks

The tune file that you save from you truck is all you need. the V2 needs to be plugged in before you open the .tun file. then it will work.

No you DO NOT have to do anything special to flash the truck. EFI flashes the ECM on the GMLAN where the only things listening are the TCM and ECM. no other precautions are need to flash.

ok thanks i feel comfortable reflashing now but still no luck with custom OS idk what im doing wrong do i need to plug the V2 into the truck also and the computer for it to show up?? this is exactly what i did.. i updated everything twice now restarted my compouter and pulled the tune out of my truck now im in the housewith the V2 plugged into my computer and still no luck whatsoever i have to be missing something .. do i need to do a full reflash of my stock tune?? then try it i dont know man i really appreciate you hleping me alot thank you

have you saved the tune file to the computer? this is something that you have to do. download tune from truck>>>save the file to the computer>>>close EFI tune window>>>plug V2 in computer>>>>open saved tune file>>>>then upgrade OS. if that doesn't work you do not have the .calz files in the correct place.

ok now were getting somewhere... i done all that but the .calz files?? where are they and were do they need to be at thanks so much

look at "program files/efilive/7.5/calibrations/E35 and check to see if you have a folder called "custom" and within that folder do you have a bunch of files in it? and in the E35 folder check the date of creation on the OS that you have.

i cant even find the calibration folder?? i found the bins folder with custom os in it but theres no E35. i done a search for the folder and still cant find it i guess im just screwed

What operating system are you running on the PC?

justin123
October 21st, 2009, 02:57 PM
ok found it it has 13 files all starting with 126

bballer182
October 21st, 2009, 02:57 PM
k is there a custom folder in the E35 folder?

justin123
October 21st, 2009, 02:58 PM
no just those 13 files starting with 126 thats it

bballer182
October 21st, 2009, 03:00 PM
OK thats your problem. what operating system is in your truck? 12606128, 6698, 3145... open you tune file and see what it is...

Oh and BTW have you downloaded this file from this thread?

http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?t=12030

this file contains all of the files needed to upgrade your OS.

12606128 is the OS on my truck

ok i got it i didnt unzip the files to the right folder and the custom os is there now ... man thank you soooo much i really really appreciate the paientence and your time

u know where to get a switch??

bballer182
October 21st, 2009, 03:41 PM
well i could sell you one of my switches cheap. It doesn't have pins on it though... or you could buy one for SoCal Diesel or duramaxtuner

justin123
October 21st, 2009, 03:47 PM
what do u mean it doesnt have pins on it??

bballer182
October 21st, 2009, 03:49 PM
the ecm connector pins. (free from the dealer)

justin123
October 21st, 2009, 03:55 PM
oh im sure i can get them if not i might can rig up something anyways im pretty electrically inclined on vehicles so how much we talking?? and how does it work are the tunes backsward like right to left?? or they clockwise.. base.. 1 2 3 4??

bballer182
October 21st, 2009, 03:57 PM
4 3 2 1 base. like turning the volume up.

justin123
October 21st, 2009, 04:03 PM
yea cuz base is like a race tune right??? well i guess PM me and well talk cuz i need one

bballer182
October 21st, 2009, 05:00 PM
yes base is usually the hight HP tune and 4 is usually the lowest

I am producing a new series of switches that make this pattern intuitive.

One of them is a 5 position switchlock with key. The other is a 6-pos, 2 circuit switch, that will control another device on pos 6.

Yeah SoCal pretty much had the corner of the market for DSP switches, and he made his backwards form a logic standpoint. So thats how i make mine.. Base is last all the way to the right and stock is all the way to the left... Like turning up the volume...

and now since i suggested that he has released a new design... opposite of what he way producing before...

It started with a thread in the Beta forum about 2 months ago...

I am not criticizing anyone though. If I weren't doing the keylock project, something I wanted to do about a year ago, I would have just left it alone.

Yeah me either, i'm just sayin....

Keep in mind what I had said about the logic flow of the DSP switch position check, if you start producing switches that don't work the same way the ECM determines the DSP position you probably won't be able to select all the tunes. I had also mentioned that the ECM will use the factory table locations (non DSP) when the voltage is at it's highest, given that, this should be the tune you want should the switch ever go faulty (open circuit).

Right. I have considered that and it is much easier to do it this way, rather than taking all the limiting tables from a big tune and pasting them to a stock tune just so the big tune doesn't get limited by the stocker some how. And besides that i run the big tune on a daily basis and am completely fine it the switch faulted some how....
