    2006 5.9 checksum error?

    I have a 06 with efi on the truck and it won't let me tune, but I can read the file and look at the values. Is this efi file the problem or something else? Any help would be appreciated!

    Same thing was happening to me. Make sure your battery connections are tight, and driver side battery is charged. After that try writing again, sometimes it takes me 2 or 3 times to get it to work properly. Make sure you hit your unlock button as well, just to make sure the SKIM isn't flagging it.

    I can not get my hptuners to read my 07 5.9 truck at all. The read vehicle tab is grayed out. Scanner connects just fine though.

    If you have a tune open, the read option is grayed out.

    Yes that was the issue. I went to File, Exit and then reopened and it allowed me to try to read out my file.
