HELP PLEASE!!! Im stumped..

[AdamRRT]

Did you ever run into any issues tuning yours after running all those different timers? I've ran all of them as well in the past. Maybe that's why I needed a full reflash at the dealer...

No problems at all here. Just the usual rare tune that will throw the ABS/AB codes. But I can flash it to stock and put on a good tune and be great.

Alright..not really on topic, but same subject, I'm having my ECM flashed with the pto high idle enable tomorrow at the dealership. I'm having some limiting woes that have me pulling my hair out right now. So to be on subject, I will post the fresh flash of my truck to all applicable places for people to have. It's a '06 Mega Federal Auto. I think it's idiotic that I have to pay for an 'update' anyways. I mean, shouldn't that be part of purchasing the vehicle?? They do it with tractors and other various heavy equipment.

Cant you use this ECM read? It has the high idle enabled. Plus its free.

Thanks, but I've tried that one. When I go to the dealer, they will flash an update to my original OS from the factory. That in itself may be part of my problem. A funny thing I noticed when flashing. A 01 OS came stock on my truck, flashed an 02 OS, flashed a Smarty tune, returned back to stock, and it automatically put the 01 OS back in there. There's got to be something hard coded into the ECM to tell what came installed orginally or something to that nature. Thanks though.

Your welcome, just trying to save you the trouble and some dough.

My take on it is that the Smarty (not sure about other tuners) saves the FIRST config file it comes into contact with out of the box as "stock" then even though you change the base tune before flashing with the Smarty it will always flash back that first stock file.

The Smarty does not save any file from your truck.

It has a file loaded on it. All it does is load that file on your truck.

The first time I used my J-06 it spent a minute or two "Copying stock file..." and hasn't done it since.

Amazing that warranty hasnt picked up on this with a "returned to stock" smarty vehicle considering they generally come in with a different OS than they were originally flashed with eh?

[FUBAR]

Just to follow up in my case, a update flash from dealer cured all of my woes. They ended up installing a whole different OS. I had the pto high idle enabled as well. I've posted in Comp'd's EFI library. Will post it in the tune file depot when I get a chance.
