A40 Full Read option

If it matters at all or helps, Here is an A40 Full read that works..... =]

Yeah that seems to be the only one that reads out ok and it reads ok every time. Nothing more frustrating than waiting an hour only to see the red 'x' on the OS segment checksum

Ill see if I can hunt down one of those other O.S's and give'er a try.

Have you successfully flashed this file into a blank A40 ?

Any of you calibrators have a full read from 2006-2007 8.1 A40 file Operating System 15827766 Transmission 15827763 (3.73) as well as Operating System 15827766 Transmission 15827762 (4.10)?

Hey! It’s the conversion thief!

[YAKPERFORMANCE]

How is that? A file alone will not convert anything. You have to know what do do with the wiring a file alone is useless just so we are all clear? I'm all about wiring and making things that don't belong together function. Look at my Expedition then make your comments please you can find it easily. A Few years ago when my little brother asked me to get a 6 speed working behind his 02 I took a 2011 LML Allison and made it work. Just so we are clear I was the first to use the full 11-19 LCT 1000 case, transfer case, and build my own transfer case stand alone module to operate it. I maybe new on the forum here but been doing this a lot longer than all you think. There will always be people that flap. So what If I want to help people with their old rusty Silverado's / Sierra's to make them more efficient and for a lot less I might add. Not to mention I let my customers use whatever 6 speed they want it can be a 5.9L , 6.6L, a 8.1L, 7.4L it doesn't matter to me.

But back to the issue at hand working with A40 / A50 and all the in-between I have a J2534 I use with SPS but with the original A40 controllers can we full read them I know the .obj file was old on this forum what I really would like if any buddy can help not criticize is a version of the V8 2.2 or the one right after so I can use the .obj file to try and full read the A40 TCM's.

Look lets be honest here... the physical part of these conversions -- making a harness, reading a schematic, swapping a valvebody -- is not where the real challenge is. Anyone with basic wiring knowledge and a service manual can figure out which wire goes where. That’s not innovation, I'm sorry to say.

Contrary to what you seem to believe, the real value -- and what even makes the conversions even possible -- is in the software and calibration work. It's not just plugging wires in, its hundreds (and in my case, thousands) of hours spent reverse engineering GM's and Allison's code with no A2Ls or documentation. Understanding how the ECM and TCM communicate, recalibrating and writing custom code so the transmission function exactly as it should (diagnostic, pids, etc), as if it had been released by the factory. Its understanding how the software and TCM hardware interact and how its all linked together to not only gather the input data from the trans, but make sure the proper solenoids are being triggered when needed. Its not just a "tune" when done correctly. It's the ONLY reason your swaps with factory tcms work at all.

Frankly, you’ve been using my software and acting like it’s just about “making wires connect.” That’s not only untrue, it’s disrespectful to the people who put in the real work to unlock these swaps for the community. You couldn’t do these conversions without the software I built—and you know it.

If you think otherwise, I invite you to try doing one of these conversions without using my code or someone else’s work as your base. Good luck.

Hate to burst your bubble on this too, this was done almost 15 years ago. Just because its not on a forum... doesn't mean you were the first one. Allisons have been run on Fords, Cummins, Motech, Bosch... just to name a few .... and not in a standalone fashion, but with full communications between the ECM and TCM. Not as a standalone. Which all required extensive modification on the SOFTWARE side (ECM and TCM) to make those conversions happen.

Listen I'm a calibrator / wiring guy not a engineer I pay companies like EFI live and HPT for that. With what's there I use it to modify the file and make everything work happy. You can say what you want im just trying to make trucks operate FYI the file I started with was not a EFI Live calibration. On top of that its Allison's file not mine not yours. I think you are assuming to much without the proper background. I guess its not innovation either making a BMW M57 work with a 6R80 right? The hundreds to thousands of hrs I have into my calibrations IS proof enough. A lot of what im tuning for people is stuff never done yet especially with ford. I give a lot more than I get trust me but it makes me happy to hear they like the finished product. I'm not some kid like you think I'm sure, your name says it all. To be honest I wish it was so easy as to just write a file and go but from what I have seen a lot of the files need to be adjusted & require a lot of logging and changes to make them function their best. I don't believe in the one file fits all concept a lot of guys do each vehicle no matter if the same everything operates differently ad this is where logging comes in.

Also I have yet to see a LML Allison behind a GMT800 now a 06-10 model is a simple bolt up the transfer case can be reused from a 01-05 model. But once you go 2011-2019 the transfer case as well as the rear flange on the Allison was changed. This means you have to run the newer T-case. Now once you run the newer T-case you have a issue with the older controller not operating the engagement properly due to the motor changes. Make sure you read the entire post and not skim you might miss some key parts of what im saying I did. Also a L5P Swap in a gmt800 isn't really a 6 speed conversion since it came with a 6 speed from 2017-2019 its just a swap.

Just if you could keep your derogatory comments to yourself I'm here to try and move forward don't think I'm not earning my way just as all of us do. Now I have some full reads of the mentioned operating systems just did one with a guy using a A40 he bough off ebay I sent him a remote file to flash using his Auto Cal but I would still like to full read my files when I bench flash them. I'm not gonna lie I use HPT more but in the last couple years been slowly moving over to EFI Live. I feel HPT is leaving Efi Live in the dust but EFI Live is still relevant especially for DSP5 and Cummins applications. But HPT is moving with the current and has blown up in the last 10 years.

is there an update to the script for the full read on the a40 thank you for your time
