Installing the V8 Software

[Boost]

That is correct. Registration won't be necessary until the V8 Tune Tool editor is released. And even then it may end up not being required.

I'm back to the EFIlive world and updated my flash scan too. I downloaded the V8 and uplated the build 303. GOt the bootblock and firmware to update but it has a bunch of trans TCM that need updating and when I try to update I get this. any tips? i'm excited to start tuning my LML

Support for the E86 controller has since been split into E86A and E86B and all files have been renamed accordingly. You should reformat the [Config] file system and then re-setup the controllers that you want supported on your FlashScan using the [F5: BBX] option in the V8 Scan and Tune software.

Wow I feel dumb since I have been out of efilive for awhile. What did you just say lol, that was for me right blacky? If it was how do I know what controller to use the A or B?

The Durumax family on EFILive:

The E54 controller is for LB7
The E60 controller is for LLY
The E35A controller is for LBZ
The E35B controller is for LMM
The E86A controller is for LML 2011-2014 (this used to be called just E86)
The E86B controller is for LML 2015+

So if you previously used E86, then you will now need to use E86A instead.

i bought a new laptop and its a Lenovo with windows 10. I downloaded v8 and v7.5 straight off efilive.com but now need to connect my v2 and get it operational as my old windows xp keeps randomly shutting down.
any tips to make this painless, doing updates and changing pc is the part that scares me. tuning on my car is the easy part to me. thanks, Chad

Install V8, install V7, copy your tunes/logs to new PC/laptop, copy contents of folder User Configuration to the same folder on new PC/laptop, plug in FSV2, start V8 S&T.
