    Ah gotcha Nick, not familiar with your specific product offerings so thats why I didnt pick up on the terminology.

    Cool way to differentiate different tunes, good idea! Plus AutoCals are pretty friggin sweet, this is THE perfect use for them!

    Well I just purchased and installed the EFI SPADE. The truck really runs nicely. Very Smooth. Works for me as I don't intend to do allot of tuning, Only for my purpose. I'm Happy!

    That codes means the firmware and script files do not match up. Download the EFILive V8 software, install it, then open up V8 Scan & Tune. Plug your AutoCal into your computer, click the AutoCal button in the main page of V8 S&T. Now click the little AutoCal icon that appears near the clock on the bottom right of the screen. Click F6: Firmware, then click Update Firmware. Once the firmware is programmed, close this window. Back in V8 S&T click F5: BBX. Click F3: Tune, then click the green Read button at the bottom. Make sure the proper controller is selected then click the small arrow on the right of the Program button. Click "Program ALL Required Data (Slower)", then wait until the files are copied over. Disconnect everything and try to read your truck again. Once you have read the stock tune, go ahead and flash the new tune in.

    I do not get an option to update firmware on the autocal... I do get a message telling me: Firmware version is OK.
    Bootblock is: 2.07.03 Jul 25 2011
    Firmware is: 2.07.22 Nov 11 2011

    Went thru the rest of the procedure anyway but still get the $050b

    That means you're already up to date, format the config file system (V8 S&T->F5 BBX->Program [arrow]->Format CONFIG file system. Then click Program again and it will load the latest script files. If that doesnt do it, then probably have to wait for Nick on Monday.
