what do you have for a 2006 5.9 isl cummins/freightliner Damon Astoria motorhome?

[cindy@efilive]

PM me your VIN so I can confirm we support your vehicle.


Cheers
Cindy

[173dave]

how do I PM?

[easymon]

if you look at cindys last post of to left click on cindy@efi a drop down menu will show then click on privite mesage then send vin and mesage. shannon

[cindy@efilive]

I've checked the VIN and as it's a 2006 5.9 isl cummins/freightliner Damon Astoria motorhome, it's not listed on the site we use as a supported vehicle.

That's not to say the vehicle isn't supported, it just means I can't confirm it is. The checking mechanism we use appears to only cover Dodge RAM Cummins vehicles, and given this isn't in a Dodge RAM, it's not listed.

My suggestion to you is to find someone with EFILive in your area and try and read your tune. From that we can determine if we support your vehicle

Rich's EFIlive for dummies helped me tremedously, think we could persuade him to do something similar for the new csp5 stuff? :)

What else would you guys like to see in videos? Besides how to tune...lol

I'd be willing to do more if the demand is there.

[billybob]

I cant play your video for some reason. Might not have good enough service, gettin my internet off a wireless tether.

And I cant for the life of me find the efilive csp5 reference guide. Oh well I'm doing it trial and error method. :/

Be nice to see something on tricks of tuning. Not to get to much in depth of tuning but just small stuff that makes a bit easier to learn faster.

I don't ever plan on tuning other people's vehicles but catching a flight just to take the seminars would be a bit extreme for my own tuning. So any help is very much appreciated.

Tuning tricks...such as? I may offer limited info...

[GLBWAMR]

Kinda thought the whole idea of a forum was to share knowledge or experiences to other people with the same kind of interest. I don't plan on selling anything, I barley have enough time to play with my own aside from being a dad.

So I guess not giving away one particular persons secrets but more of the general knowledge some of us can't find reading material on. Things like what's the best way to start a race tune, daily, or mileage tune. Where to put and pull fuel or timing ex.
