where you been hiding?!?! come on here just to get answers and then leave again for awhile? LOL

I get the validation error when I click upload to quick. Like the security didn't get a chance to clear. Are ya waiting for all the vehicle checks to finish when you turn the key. (like 5 seconds)

I take a look here nearly everyday, but been real busy with my job. I'm just trying to load the file in edit so that I can flash it but I get the message and it doesn't load. Made a few modes since I last posted, need to edit my sig. Will do that later...

so your getting the error when trying to load it into the editor not when your trying to flash it? Is it a file you pulled off of your truck? I would say reread the truck to view it...if you can read it you shouldnt have any issue viewing it.

I had a similar issue before, after a software upgrade I was no longer able to upload files to the PCM. I ended up re-reading the current tune and carrying over my newest changes then wrote that back. the tune file might be currupted some how, so just re-read and get a fresh copy to work from.

What I did was some logging then sent it to my tuner, he made necessary changes sent it back to me and now I can't open it.

I did check to see if I could open and read some older files and I could, so I think the file he sent was corrupted. Thanks will check with tuner.
