We have had several SERIOUS 6.7L Cummins ECM failures in the last 24 hours. We are currently investigating. The common thread is all were previously tuned with SMARTY. Our development team are currently working through the issues, but can verify that ORIGINAL stock tunes and the latest public release software DO NOT cause failure. We will provide further updates as more information comes to hand.

Cheers

We have updated our software with additional warnings. The Public Release software (Apr 03) is now available for download from our website. Download Software (http://www.efilive.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=133)

For Cummins, this release adds additional warnings for incomplete files, and updates the Cummins ECM Reference Notes.PDF which can be found via the menu selection Start>All Programs>EFILive>V8>Documents>Cummins ECM reference notes.pdf

Many box tuners DO NOT return the ECM to stock even on the stock setting.

Whilst some incomplete files may be suitable for flashing, EFILive is now advising against this. Each box tuner has their own flashing routine, and it is impossible for us to know and understand each and every method they use for each of their products, software versions and operating systems. Consistency DOES NOT EXIST, therefore customers SHOULD NOT TAKE THE RISK.

Customers will need to obtain a true stock file either from their EFILive reseller, the tune library or their dealership.
