Where does Throttle Pressure come from a TV cable ??Quote:

Then there is the governor parts that consist of a governor pressure sensor, which also contains the transmission fluid temperature sensor, and the governor pressure solenoid.Quote:

To an extent. This is how the old BD locker worked. It would pull the TV arm to almost full open(roughly 85% which was not enough to cause a downshift, but still max line pressure) when it was applied on the 47RE to up line pressure. There is also a main regulator in the valve body though that controls overall pressure to the trans. A pressure control solonoid, and a couple of shift solonoids would have given almost infinite control of the trans, but DODGE went with a pretty goofy and marginal control system(I think) to accomplish it.Quote:

The majority of the shift firmness and line pressure upgrades are done in the valve body. I have a list of customers that are eagerly awaiting the release of custom tuning for their trucks. We are looking forward to it. Be interesting to see how the Cummins will compare to the Dmax once they get tuned in.
with november 30th release i can now read cummins ECM's with V8 but can not edit. When i try to open it with V7.5 it says file binary image is not a valid binary size. is this normal for now or should i have these features?
When I read the V8 updates, it only listed reading support for now for the CUMMINS controllers.Quote:

Also THANKS guys this is amazing how far you all are progressing this quick...
Thanks,
Ben :grin:
I was in the middle of getting the 5.9L & 6.7L ECM's to read out using the V8 PC based tuner. They are a little fussy and don't quite work the same, I nearly got it working but then had to stop to prepare for PRI (leaving in the morning).
Enjoy the flight Ross. :hihi:
14hrs to LA + 5hrs or so to Florida, to a time zone way out of whack to mine, excuse me for sleeping at the stand.
I've got another trip to NZ at the start of January to finalise the flashing for the 2006+ 5.9L ECM, it's getting so close now.
sounds great ross, very VERY excited for this. You guys have a Merry Christmas and have a safe trip to NZ. :santa1::santa1:
can't wait to see more updates. love to see a 5 switch. put me on the waiting list
You and 500,000 othersQuote:

Thank's!!
The initial beta phase will be conducted with existing customers who are already intimately familiar with the EFILive products and processes. This decision is intended to ensure that product familiarity do not cause unnecessary issues for either the user or EFILive as we try to progress through the beta phase. Additionally we ideally wish for the beta participants to have the ability to recover the Cummins ECM with other tools should a problem be identified, it is beta afterall. For this reason individuals (personal users) will generally not be considered due to the potential for issues.
On the licensing front. Our licensing model is to change shortly to align with the changes that supporting multiple manufacturers brings. When Cummins support is released customers will be able to purchase the 'Dodge Cummins Diesel Tuning Add-On' which will cost US$399. There will also be a 'GM Tuning Add-On' product to cover the existing GM support, also priced at US$399.
Existing customers FlashScan V2 cables already include the 'GM Tuning Add-On' because that's all we support right now. New customers will have the option to choose which (or both) tuning support they wish to activate on the FlashScan v2 interface.
Cheers,
Awesome !! Ya I've had a V2 since September of 2008 and LOVED IT!! :mrgreen: and I do have a friend that has a teck 2 thats available at any time, but as far as Dodge's... I don't have any way to recover them if anything went terribly wrong. :bad:
Well I would like to get a hold of that Dodge tuning software as soon as its safe!!
Keep up the GOOD WORK!! :grin: :good::thankyou2:
How about stream? I will be purchasing a stream right away...this is great news! Thanks for the updateQuote:

No streams for the Cummins just vin licenses.
VP44 guys there are no intentions of supporting vehicles that are getting to be that old.
haha i didnt think so thank you for answering. anythin lookin good for the 04.5 models one of my friends has one and he was wondering
Planned Vehicle Support
1. 06-07 5.9L CAN based vehicles - expected public release March 2011
2. 07-09 6.7L CAN based vehicles (ECM and TCM support) - development will commence after 06-07 public release
3. 09-11 6.7L CAN based vehicles - development may or may not be concurrent to 07-09 vehicles.
4. 03-05 5.9L SCI based vehicles - will commence development after all CAN support is finalised.
5. Pre 2003 trucks will not be considered at this point of time
Time frames for support are dependent on the beta progress of the preceding controller.
Just a quick update, the scantool is still being worked on. Paul has locked himself away in a dark room with no phones or human contact!!, we hope that by next week the beta testers will have scantool to play with.
We've had a bunch of ECM reads sent in too, the good thing there is only one of them was an ECM Operating System we hadn't seen before, so it looks like majority of peoples trucks will be supported from day one.
Cheers,
Ross
Can you start scanning Cummins yet? and do you need a special cable or does the V2 GM cable work?
You can read the Cummins ECM out, but the general public cannot view/edit/flash tunes yet and the scantool is still being worked on. The regular V2 will work with all CAN based Cummins,.Quote:

As ScarabEpic22 says the Scan Tool portion is what is being intensively worked on right now.
I wish I could view/look at the tune now. So we probably won't be able to view the tunes until it is publicly released correct?Quote:

Currently we are in the process of testing everything in the next beta software release (GM and Cummins) because there was some substantial changes made to make the Cummins work with the Scantool. All the beta testers need GM functionality still working so we can't just release a Cummins only version. Anyway, that verification process is happening this week as I type.
Once we are happy the scantool is 100% functional the Beta testers will go crazy with logging and tuning to further assist the final descriptions of some tables and how the ECM functions.
So I would say two to three weeks and we should be right to go to a public release.
The good news is all the reads that have been sent in have been mapped so hopefully everyone with a Cummins license will be set to tune as soon as it's released, so far there has been a total of 13 unique operating systems.
Think I'm going to go ahead and order my V2 and license this week or next. That way shes ready to roll when it's released. Truck should be fixed by then too!
is the cummins flash scan upgrade option for current V2 owners available yet? or if when available how will i go about purchasing it? thanks
Will we be able to re-calibrate ABS tire height/speedometer?
Anybody know?
It is still in beta testing (not available publicly yet). We don't have a firm release date yet but it is getting very close.Quote:
