gauge cluster message

[FH Leader]

I have seen it but I dont know how to do it. How do you program your gauge cluster to display a message that you entered in to it with efi live?

I believe it is the file Messages.txt located in My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration.

There are some caveats to displaying a message, I believe it will only display during flashing.

And won't work on your LBZ, it's only for earlier vehicles.

damn it will they ever get it to work on the LBZ?

Doubt it. 01-05 the programming was done over the Class 2 bus. 06+ programming is done over the HS GMLAN bus, and the cluster is on Class 2. 07.5+, programming is done on HS GMLAN, and the cluster is on LS GMLAN, which might not even come back to the DLC. slipping the message in on the class2 bus just before programming is easy. It's not as easy to try to send the messages on a differnt bus than the one you're programming on.

I'm sure you're doing something other than slipping a message onto the data bus just before and after programming . I can make my cluster say whatever I want too

I'm wondering the same thing for a 06LLY , 07LBZ truck and a 04 Gas engine truck that has the 6.0 Vortec?
Having the custom message at vehicle startup would be sooooo cool !!

Thanks !!!

EFILive cant do it, it only lets the custom message flash across the DIC when reading/flashing because the EFILive bootloader is working in the PCM/ECM at that time and it is the bootloader that can display the message.
