    Default Anyone have a 4.3 Vortec V6?

    This problem is only for my 1998 Vortec.

    For the life of me, I still can't figure out why my data logs won't link to my tune file. When I highlight a section in a data log it won't automatically link to the tune file....Even if I make a Timing MAP in the Scan tool, the info doesn't correspond/or is way off with the info in the tune file...sometimes off by like 10 degrees at certain points.

    The only thing I can think of is the warning I get when I open my Tune file and then open a data log i get this warning: "Vin mismatch was detected between Scan Tool(Vin#123456789) and Tune Tool(Vin#NA)....Vin numbers are from 2 different vehicle's"...The tune tool will not let me save my Vin# for some reason, always shows NA

    are your display units setup exactally the same on both the scan and tune? (i.e. standard, metric...) I had a simmilar issue and found I had a few settings different. I currently tune and scan everything in metric, except MPH. and it all works well.

    I don't even have access to a Vortec controller. Depending on what you are doing with the truck, that wouldn't be a bad idea.

    BTW, I have a bunch of wiring harness parts:
