I talked to John @ Speartech today, and he told me that if I have the correct file, that LS1EDIT *will* reflash the PCM (i.e. I don't have to send it to him.) The PCM accepted the file that I was sent, but the truck still won't shift into reverse. As a matter of fact, we hooked a Snap On scan tool to it, and the PCM is telling the tranny to be in 1st gear regardless of which gear is selected with the shifter, including reverse.

I sent the file to John today and left him a couple of messages, but after our initial conversation this morning he hasn't been able to call/email me back. Can I email the file to anyone and have them check it w/ EDIT to make sure that it's the correct one? That the segment 1 ID is correct, etc etc?

Does anyone have any other suggestions? We've checked, rechecked, and triple checked the wiring and it is all spot on. I **have** to get this truck off of the lift soon...it's waaaay to heavy to push in and outta the shop. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. WHY CAN'T THIS **** JUST WORK?!!?!?!?!?

 

If you had EFILive I'd send you a file. Let me check and see if I still have Edit installed anywhere.

Do you have your stock Edit file?

 

I know that you are talkin about edit, but when I tried to reflash my PCM (with HPtuners) with just the tables from an 80E it would not work. I had to actually install a file that was originally made with the 80E calibrations and it finally worked.

 

I'm pretty sure that EDIT reflashes the entire 512KB file which includes all the operating and segment information. If it does and he got a 80E file it should work fine.

HPTuners and EFILive only flash the calibration data which is about 96K unless you specifically do a full reflash which is the entire PCM file.

 

I'm about ready to upgrade. I'd thought about HPT, but EFILive sounds like killer software too.

John, I'm going to email you a few files...my stock file, the file that Carputing sent...

 

Ok

EDIT

My LS1Edit won't let me read those files.

 

Not sure what to tell you ....

Check the box on the side of the trans, it's called the gear selector indicator, or something like that. It's a little black box on the drivers side where the selector shaft goes through the case. Make sure the lights are in synch with the selector. That's what that box does.

 

what about the other email I sent you?

 

That's a big negative there ghost rider.

 

Any updates my man?
