Well, since no one else wants to share one and EFI LIVE relies heavily on Tune File Depot or CompD websites to work.
Here is a 2011 2500 Auto Stock Cummins Cal I spent $30.00 on.

Reaches in hat and pulls out rabbit. :cucumber:
Get them while they are still available
Tune File Depot (Web Archive Site Access from March 21st)
Hate to burst your bubble, but those sites don't actually store the files, or at least not all of them.
I'd consider hosting a site myself but..... One of these days big bad GM or Dodge might go stomping around, and I don't want to be the one who takes the fire when that day comes.
And do what ?
If you own the vehicle, you own all of the components that make up the vehicle .... you can sell them, trade them, recycle them, turn them into art, etc. The only caveat is that the vehicle cannot be modified during the warranty period without the consent of the dealer / manufacturer, or the OEM warranty may become void.
Except we are talking about software here. Something that is super easily copied. I can't just upload a movie on the internet because I own the CD. It doesn't work that way.
If it did work that way, then EFI Live would just host its own massive database, and there wouldn't be a problem.
Does it matter? I don't know. I don't think anyone in the entire tuning world has ever received any sort of cease and desist simply for sharing files. However that would be about the extent of it. You can't just sue someone for violating your IP when you yourself never enforced it.
The courts in the USA have ruled that vehicle owners remain free to work on (or service) their own vehicles. Along with oil changes, brake replacement, and general parts replacement, owners may still administer a "tune-up" to their vehicles - which includes modifying the ECM programming (as long as emission requirements are maintained).
The manufacture cannot receive $100,000 for a new vehicle, and then claim that they still own part of the vehicle.
You may purchase a new or remanufactured ECM from your local parts store. You may then have GM, or any privately owned service facility (with the appropriate equipment), program it for you.
Issues only arise when these actions lead to voiding the OEM warranty, or being in non-compliance with emissions requirements.
need to use Google Chrome.....will work perfect......
