    Is it giving you a checksum error by change??? Can download both the ECM and TCM together in one file and post it? I had a similar issue when I download my tune, but it was an SCT based upload.

    Not sure if that run on sentence is for real but, why don't you just read the truck with any number of .bin software.

    So now you are saying it is tunerlocked. That changes everything.

    It is likely you did not get a reply because he will not unlock it for you. Most diesel tunes are not HP tuners tunes. Most are EFI live. I don't know this for a fact but I have read a couple of posts from HP employees here who say the only solution is a new ECM/PCM

    Yea I only asked for a revision never asked for the unlocked all good pretty much got it all dialed in now took me a bit to grasp what each table did to another but after that I?ve figured it out have a pretty decent tune got it where it?s driving real good mileage back up now getting 15mpg but still rips and doesn?t dump a gallon of fuel leaving the line spools quicker now then it did like that also have the soft switch working for torque management smoke limit is all I e had to dial now in the low boost low rpm
