When the can stuff is done and in the publics hands...will EFI be needing a '03-'05 truck to test??
For GM our scan tool is comparable to the GM Tech II diagnostic tool, but for a fraction of the price.
For Cummins, our scan tool is still in development, so it can't yet be compared to the Cummins factory tool or other scan tools on the market.
Your question can only be answered when the scan tool hits our beta testers and we start to receive feedback. We have published a list of the logging parameters that will be available in our scan tool here EFILive 5.9L Beta Update - Competition Diesel.Com - Bringing The BEST Together
thanks for the information. i hope that it becomes the best cummins scan tool!! and hope its soon!!:rockwoot:
Please disregard my initial response - the 15 mins to modify my post got me
For GM vehicles we offer pass through reading/flashing/logging, which is PC-FlashScan-Vehicle connection. We also offer standalone reading/flashing/logging where the PC connection isn't required.
This will be our offering for Cummins, however at this point of time we have only tested the Pass through reading/flashing. Our initial release will most likely only cover Pass through functionality with standalone functions to be added in a future release. The functionality is there, we just need to apply it to Cummins and test it; at this point of the project this isn't a high priority.

Yes you can scan a Cummins without the Manufacturer's Tune license. Likewise you can Scan a GM vehicle without access to the Tune tool.I have a question regarding the scan tool for the older black V2's. Will we have to buy the CUMMINS upgrade in order to access this or will this be available as an upgrade for current V2 customers? I know that we'll have to buy the CUMMINS upgrade to tune, just wondering if we will be able to scan them without the upgrade as I run a small shop out of my house and anything extra I can scan opens up more business for me.
We've done some testing on BBR for Cummins in the last couple of days and it's now functional. Further testing needs to be done with our beta testers to confirm it does in fact work and will make it into our initial release.

The difference with Cummins is that it's going to be our first Scan Tool release on our V8 software, so in your situation you'll be scanning GM in V7 and Cummins in V8 until we migrate everything to V8.

OK im sure this is dumb but just wanna ask anyways, when you purchase the V2 scantool and the cummins tuning licence will that come with a disk or something with the tuning software on it to put on the computer? Also when you get all the stuff do you scan your vehicle with the V2 and save the stock tune and then go to you computer and open the tuning software and load the stock tune up? And then from there just tune it on the tables you choose?
So the switchable tuning might not be a switch, but a different download, is this correct?
And to do this download one must have your V2 tuner/scanner?
So if you get in a situation where you need the stock tune put back (warranty, ext), you must go back to your original tuner (person) to put it back, is this correct?
And does that tuner (person) have the exact tune that was taken out of said truck, or rather a generic base tune for that year?
Time frame on this "switchable" setup?
I'm guessing will be at least a year, until the rest of the trucks years listed are done with the beta phase.
Les, we will post some appropriate setup/instruction documents when the process is 100% set in stone for the first release. We are still making some fundamental changes so it's a working document at this point of time.So as of the current V8 build (139 I think) BBR isint avail for the cummins???
If when it is avail, how does one go about setting it up??
Thanks

is there anybody in wisconsin that will do professional tunes like Huckstorf Diesel?
if so... will there be a lope tune like you can get for dmaxs??
if you were to do everything yourself how much would you be spending once its all said and done??
thanks

There is another option if you are not interested in tuning which is purchasing a custom tune from a performance shop that stocks/sells our AutoCal product. Think of it like a handheld, but customized by the tuner for your truck. You walk away with the handheld and the custom tunes that you purchase. You can read/clear codes and data log. Your tuner can email you tune revisions based on those logs. NOTE: You cannot switch the handheld back to stock and install it on another vehicle, but in pretty much every other aspect it is the same.

As far as stock tune, each indivdual will keep track of their own tune....store it yourself on your own pc/laptop. Myself, I'll be buying a laptop just for my truck.
Can't wait til EFI is on the market for '03-'05's.....
A BIG:clap::clap: for EFI LIVE and the beta testers!!!!!
