    Keep your fingers crossed that it helps me figure out the last piece to our puzzle.
    There are some very knowledge GenIV people here, I'm sure the puzzle will be solved.

    LS3Sleeper, broader new vehicle coverage as the years go on will come mainly due to GM (at least) using 80% common code over similar ECM's on numerous platforms. Going back to 2004 as an example, you had the LS1 PCM, LL8 PCM, P12 (IL5) PCM, Duramax, Northstar, SeriesII V6's each running totally different PCM's with totally different code in them, nothing at all was similar.
    Now when you look at the E67 as an example, it supports 3 of those engines I mentioned out of the same box (IL5, LL8 and Northstar). This is a trend GM is continuing with the new 2011 ECM's.
    There is really only a few PCM's we've omitted in the older engines that HPT and TC support (eg, the SeriesII V6's) and the Bosch SIDI ECM's, though I don't think any company has 100% (usable) support on the Bosch SIDI yet. On the flip side we are the only company offering tuning complete support for the E37 ECM, 2011 E39 & 2011 E78 ECM's.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.

    Just replied to your PM, any more questions shoot them my way. Ill try to help as best I can!


    Ross, you missed the 4 cylinder PCM and the Allison TCM (LLYs)! But I think the 4 bangers share a fair bit of code with the LL8 P10 no?

    I'm still FLOORED that HPT would BAN someone that is an actual customer !!!!
    I would understand getting rid of a freeloading trouble maker......

    Because that is how they are, you know, the kid in the playground that wants to play with every toy and no-one else is allowed. I also find it amusing that the word EFILive is usually banned over there too, we are referred to as 'the other guys', it's really pathetic. But enough of that talk, it's been like this for many years, we all just accept that is how it is.

    Yes, that is true, just a different shape box.
