When will EFILive support 2011-2012 Sierra 2500

[wesam]

I'm waiting since two years now to have support for GMC Sierra 2500 2011-2012
in each update i hope that the problem will be fixed but it seems it will take decades :(
I attached picture for the message i have when i tried to read the tune file from those cars in the attachments
i have the latest updates and firmware 7.5 build 206 & 8.2 build 197
this is the VIN : 1GT029CG7BF181024
please help

That message does not mean it is not supported (I don't know if it is or is not supported). It means the controller is most likely locked.
Can you please send the appropriate *.blx trace file as per the explanation at the bottom of this page:

I have tuned 2011 2500's with E78 ECM's. It didnt have all the tables compared to an E38 but I was able to tune it for the most part.

I think it has E38 not E78

The 2500 series with the 6.0L switched to the E78 ECM in 2011.
EFILive has supported the E78 ECM since August 2010. However, you must read and flash E78 ECM's using V8, not V7.

Thats exactly what I have seen.

[wesam]

Is there any tutorial for using V8 ?

[ScarabEpic22]

Open it up, click Tune, click Read, right click to select engine controller, click Read. Save file once read is done. Open the V7.5 Tune tool, File->Open tuning file, select the tune you just read and click open. Edit it as you normally would, then save it (make sure it is in the *.ctz format and NOT *.tun). Open V8, click Tune, open the tune file, click cal flash.

[wesam]

why not to read it with 7.5 ? Also i tried to find str this controler in the web site but i did not found !eam for

[minytrker]

7.5 will be slowly being replaced by V8 is my understanding. More and more features are being released to V8. I used V8 all the time, its much faster when your messing with E38 or newer ECM's.

[ScarabEpic22]

Heck I never use V7.5 to read any more unless a controller isnt supported by V8 (very few arent, it supports all the newer ones anyway) because its faster.

Cant wait for V8 to replace V7.5, V7's been great for a long long time but V8 already has a bunch of features that I like.

Ok i got it
here is the error message i got when i tried to press Tune in 8
this message is shown in all my laptops with windows XP
but it work with windows 7
any thoughts ?

[GMPX]

Open it up, click Tune, click Read, right click to select engine controller
Or just press "Auto Detect" and it should select whatever ECM or TCM is found on the bus, that way you don't have to worry about what controller type is in the vehicle.

Please try this on your WinXP system:



Go into Widows ‘Control Panel’.
Choose ‘Region and Language’.
On the ‘Formats’ tab choose ‘English (United States)’ format.
On the ‘Location’ tab select ‘United States’.
On the ‘Administrative’ tab click the ‘Change system locale’ button and select ‘English (United States)’.
