I sold EFI Live to use HP Tuners.... I assumed i should be using it anyway to work with the fords and dodges later on.
For now i plan on using it just for my LMM and i feel like i shot myself in the foot. is there anyone in here willing to help out on some minor tunes for an LMM. So far based on my searching the LMM owners are on their own s there aren't too many dmax users anyway....
Any input would be appreciated.
i'm kinda leaning toward throwing this thing on ebay when i get it....
Why is that?Quote:

This is more of a professional shop setup forum here. Efi Live has a jump on the diesel market, but I here hptuners has a nice jump on some things that Efi lives can not do. It looks easier to use then Efi live. I have downloaded the Efi live demo & it was really confusing. I am waiting for the allison tuning to come out.
Do tell!! What type of things?Quote:

If you areinterested shoot me an emial.
Who's 220hp tune do you have and have you dynoed it? I have the 220 tune in my truck but it only picks up 100-110 at the wheels and I had to tweak it to get that.Quote:

EFI does have a larger crowd for the Diesels unfortunately. I see about 10x as much activity from the EFI crowd than the HPT guys and I'm not talking about sales pitches either.
Could be that they had tuning available for Diesels before HPT did and another fact that EFI already has had support for the Allison for a while now where as I can't even get a ETA from HPT on it. :rolleyes:
ETA is the next public update and we've already enabled reading for some of our beta testers :DQuote:

I purchased this last summer, and did not play with it much since I could not read our LBZ with it.
I assume it has LMM and LBZ support now?
Exactly how do I get LBZ/LMM support?
I believe it's a "Pro" cable. The instruction sheet does not work; the page they tell me to type in is not on your server: http://www.hptuners.com/newcust.php

What email addy does it say?

Thank you!
Hi, I'm completely new to programming, but have over 20 year exp as a Diesel Mechanic and Marine Engineer.
I've got a pet project I'm starting. That is putting a 2008 LMM duramax into a boat. I'm going to run with a full manual,2 speed power glide (without torque convertor) and a surface drive....
455hp with this configuration should have me up around the 90Mph mark.
I really want to get into the programming side, but The thing is I'm a bit in the dark as to where I should go with software.
The 1st thing I want to do is do the softwear changes that will let me get rid of any unwanted codes due to not running the Allison and all the rest of the Controllers (TCM, BCM etc). I'll have a stand a lone harness.
I don't want to go silly on bumping up the HP, 90+ over standard will be more than enough. (I'm happy to run with the 365hp for a start... but I would like to learn and play)
There is a lot of info at EFIlive
It looks pretty good here at HPT as well.
I haven't purchased softwear yet (I'll be doing that in the next week or so)
Guess I'm just looking for some positive feed back towards this product and tuning LMM 2008 dmax's
honestly if you dont have much tuning experience and are going to need help efilive is a better choice just because of the support. Duramaxdiesels.com would be a great place to join. lots of very knowledgeable duramax people there
Don't worry--if you need help, just post something. Someone here will help.
:rolleyes: there arent many people here that know anything about diesels but are more than willing to help with stuff they know nothing about. I tune with HPtuners but i knew what i was doing before i came to this site.Quote:

I speak up as much as i can but the problem is people don't ask what tables do what, instead they ask for tunes and then when i publicly post tunes other people use them for there profit. I wouldn't call myself an expert by any means but i do have alot of dmax stuff figured out.Quote:

Anyone still have lmm tunes available?
im also looking pm me thanksQuote:

lol lmao good ones in repository your funny , there all stock in repository hp tuners deleted everything . also i dl your tune already havent tryed it out yet tho . how much hp you make on it ??
Sorry did not realize they deleted everything, must have been a recent event (wasn't meaning to jest as I used one from there). I have a couple decent ones that were available.
My current truck tune i did not have dynoed or anyting like that. was just going for a good strong tow tune that didn't smoke. I get a touch of black at initial transient when you hammer it but overall seems to run swift, especially from the bottom (compared to before). its got more to go but i am being gentle on the tranny. Just data log and you'll find spots to tweak. Watch your EGT's when you start adding fuel. The more fuel you run, the more air you need keep down the temps. Of course timing plays into that as well.
There was one in the repository that ran great but, you'd want to have a strong tranny thats for sure.
I will ask. What tables do what? I am a mechanic and have done a very small amount of tuning on gas vehicles. I am lost with diesel. My brain has a hard time with not having a throttle to control air onto the engine.
That?s a super vague question man. Not being an asshole but there are ALOT of tables. It would be a book if someone wrote out what every table means/does.Quote:

If you need further help you can PM me
Is it possible to copy a tune from anther truck and load it to my truck? I downloaded my sons tune that is also an lmm. can i just load that to my truck. Excuse my terminology, I hope you understand what I am trying to ask.
Its frowned upon and could brick an ECM but....I've done it. Also would need to license your truck AND the tune when you load it (double hit). The appropriate way is to compare to the modded tune, and make the changes. Then you simply license your tune/truck once and know the segments are exact.
