Awesome Fubar! Great work, should make it a lot easier for everyone to log!

Dont know if this has come up yet, but removing the intake air heater relay without throwing the associated codes, since it is useless without the intake air heater on board would be awesome.

The ability to adjust the min/max speeds the cruise control works at would be great!

I've been trying to do this, can you post a screen shot of cal_link page after you added your links. I think I'm doing it right but I must not be

Fubar did a hell of a job getting this working for all! Big thanks to Fubar for your tech work

Question on dealer enabled options.

If you have certain options enabled by the dealer and then copy the stock tune, modify, and re-write will those options stay enabled?

Such as manual fast idle, door locks, B20 kit, etc?

4) Enable the B20 fuel filter option
5) Enable the "Fast Idle" option, and adjust the rpm range (i.e more than 1100-1500, like 1000-2500)
6) Adjust the fuel pump duration at key on

This would be great if you could atleast enable the factory settings.

Since I flashed with a fresh os I lost my high idle function. I used this function alot while catching some shut eye from plowing snow.

If I remember correctly, as long as you stay with your factory tune and modify it, you features should not change.

Would be nice to adjust the factory high idle not talking about the pto idle up . Change out side temp and engine temp of when it kicks in these truck have set to low . thanks shannon

I don't have the table number in front of me...but you can change idle vs temp already

dont both the out side and engne temp need to be adjusted? like know it kicks in at about 30 deg like to change that. thanks shannon

I know it may sound insignificant, but with the cable connected on the Dodges, the cable is directly between your legs and I notice myself hitting it every once in a while while logging.

If we could get one, even buy it separately, that came out from the OBDII port and went toward the passenger side, that would be the cats meow.

I found it to be a bit in the way aswell so about 2 days into logging i reached under and disconected the OBDII from the metal cradle it was attached to. i then reconnected the cable to the OBDII port and ran it behind the dash to come up through my console (its clean and no cable to be seen) now im just looking for a good cradle to be able to put the V2 in (to look cleaner/less clutter) and my laptop sits on an airdesk i already had in use in my truck.

did the high idle get taking care off with the newest update ?

Would it be possable to put a speedo calculator with the tuning tool to help the revs per mile like the Duramax have?

It seems as though the speedo is actually controlled by the ABS...which Efilive is currently not flashing any modules besides the ecm

Now that we have a timing calculator for main injection, how about a pilot timing calculator?

Change Tire size

The current development list looks like:

In Progress
- Speedo adjustment - Not consistent between trucks. Appears to work on some, not others.
- MIL / DTC disable list, GM style
Noted, no firm time frame:
- Switchable tuning (i.e DSP for Cummins).
- Removing the fan and viscous clutch without DTC's - Test Truck Required.
- Sensor scaling for oil pressure, voltage, coolant temp
- Adjust the temp at which the grid heater fires, and the duration
- Adjust the temp at which the fan clutch engages, and level of engagement
- Adjust the overhead mileage readout
- Enable the B20 fuel filter option (Bio Fuel)
- Adjust the fuel pump duration at key on
- TPS voltage table...so we can adjust TPS sensativity.
- TCC/OD Sol perf P1740 (torque converter clutch/overdrive solenoid performance) parameters.
Features Dependent on V8 Scan Tool Development
- DVT controls (V8 Scan Tool feature)
  - Injector kill test (V8 Scan Tool only)
  - Torque converter lockup and force 4th gear for dyno tuning the automatics. (V8 Scan)
- BBL
- **Option enables; high idle, fog lights, wheel size. All non ECM functions; will be investigated for complexity when V8 infrastructure is finalised. **There is a possibility these will NEVER be supported.
More Information needed
- Adjust the factory high idle not talking about the pto idle up . Change out side temp and engine temp of when it kicks in these truck have set to low; as posted here http://forum.efilive.com/showthread....l=1#post158667

More information needed from testers, or technical research on your end? Because I'd be willing to help all I can for the above issue.

Thanks,

For starters we need to understand what the request is in more detail, and if it applies to specific trucks or all trucks/years.

I have an 03, but I hope I can speak for the rest as well. If the ambient temps are below ~40* it will idle at 750rpm for a min, the idle up to 1000rpm.

It will idle up/down based on some input, and does not seem to be affected by coolant temp. It will shut off and idle back to 750rpm when the brake is depressed, or it senses vehicle speed.

At coolant temps below ~30* it will start and ramp right to 1000rpm, but after its warmed up the above will happen.

Exactly what BlackCPG said. If I use all the tables in EFI to limit the truck not to idle above 750rpm, it still will to 1000rpm as stated above in certain conditions.

exactly. as we discussed in another thread, i suspect there is another variable in the idle control loop tables and im guessing its IAT

on a side note, i noticed there was no estimate given for turning on the manual/PTO high idle option, any info there?

Thank you both for the explaination. That makes more sense now. Ross will take a look and see where we can slot it.

As listed above

**Option enables; high idle, fog lights, wheel size. All non ECM functions; will be investigated for complexity when V8 infrastructure is finalised. **There is a possibility these will NEVER be supported.

While the term 'non ECM function' may not be a correct description for the high idle function, it's still in the right grouping.

So since there has been considerable progress since January, are things like Wheel Size and high idle items that will be looked into after v8 scan tool Development AND completion of 10+ and 03-05. Tire size is one thing that I really would love to see over anything else(personal preference).

I meant to ask as well, do you currently offer tire size adjustment for Chevy's? Thanks-Corey

Speedo calibrations are in the abs module and not the ECM in the Dodges.

That's been available since EFI started with the Cummins.

Thanks, I am new to EFI and have not had a chance to look at the features yet. When 2005 is avaliable I am eager to dive in.

You can download the software now, download a stock Cummins file and start playing with the software and seeing how it works.

Then you will familiar with it when it comes out for you guys.

sorry if this was mentioned already, If it was I just missed it. I'm passing this along from cumminsforum

the ability to change what a/c psi the fan clutch engages and disengages. It would help out with troubleshooting the fan clutch a lot, and might make the a/c in the dodges work better

thanks

Just fan control in general would be great. I tow heavy and 215-220 deg are not what I like to see.

How about a unit that I can plug into my nav deck and will dispaly my gauges on it and or switch level?

Anything new on the with the High idle and cruise control? I really miss that feature.. It's odd with the Smarty anytime you load a file into a truck, and return that truck to stock, the high idle feature stays working, unless you flash it with a clean base tune.
December 31st, 2012
MQ105

For now you'll need a base tune with the high idle enabled, or use a Starscan (dealer) to enable it and save that as your base tune.
