Hi,
I just sold my Chevy 5.3L gas which I was using a competitor product and bought my first Dmax. When it comes to tuning a Dmax, all I hear about is EFI Live, and I looked at the products and talked to a few friends and find the EFI live website rather confusing.
Is it a hand held that re-programs the computer in the truck? is it software on a laptop? is it both? Do I have to take the truck to a special shop to have it tuned? can I tune it without going to a shop?
Why is support so difficult to get? When I went to the "reseller's" listing, it gave me both resellers and distributors and I tried calling 15 different resellers and every last one of them did not pick up there phone, wanted me to leave voice mails and some of them sounded like they work out of their basement. I really don't want to blow up an engine on a brand new truck because the manufacturer did not have proper information out there and the dealers were all fly by night businesses and you would have no idea if they would be in business the next day.
I want to consider an EFI live for the truck, but right now it seems like there is no information on what it is, how much it costs and the closest dealer (if I want to call it that after my experience today) is about 900 miles from me which is really odd being on the east coast.
