Lost 2 credits. Not sure what i did wrong!!!

[Sefhinny75]

Hey guys,

I was going to disable DOD on a buddies 2012 Silverado today. I read the stock tune file. Named it. Made my changes to the DOD. Clicked save. Prompted a file license. I did vehicle specific. Licensed the file with 2 credits. Now, when I try to write that file to the vehicle, it says I do not have a license for the file.

When I check my License information, it shows that I have used 2 credits, for a 2012 Chevy Silverado. I'm not sure what I did wrong here or if I'm missing something.

Please help

using my magic crystal ball I see you likely read the FSCM but did not license it. Thats just my best educated guess without more information.

Hey, I'm a newby but my 2010 Silverado required 3 licenses. But what I can't figure out is why I have no 1,2,or3 bar os to choose from. Does this require more licenses.

It required 3 because you bought the fuel pump control module when you didn't have too. You could have re-read the file while unchecking the FPCM and it would have only been 2 credits.

Not every OS offers a 2 or 3 bar OS in those trucks. I rarely see 2010-2011 trucks have them and 2012-2013 was hit and miss.

No GEN 4 OS ever offered 3 bar in those trucks, only 2 bar. It's not like the GEN 3 computers that had 1,2 and 3 bar OS on most computers.

The OS upgraded is not ever required, you can alter the MAP settings for a 2 or 3 bar sensor as well as extended VVE table to support 2 or 3 bar. Using the MAF is normally suggested even with boost because the card style MAF sensors can read a ton of airflow and support very high horsepower builds.

Because we don't offer custom operating systems for them hence the reason why you have no 1, 2, or 3 bar os to choose from. Use VVE calculator.

wow, learn something new every second. so I have a 2 bar map I bought for the turbo build, can I make adjustments for this in the tune, or is whats on the truck good enough and I should't change the map sensor. it's a flex fuel.
I am looking for 600-650hp.

I think I'm going to need help on this

Thanks

[Bill@HPTuners]

look into using the VVE calculator.

Ok, what will this do.

I'm guessing this is correct as I just looked and the license is requiring just 1 more credit to write. $50 dollar lesson learned.

Thanks everyone for the responses

You are absolutely correct. This is what happened. Thank you.
