I must be a square peg for a round hole!!!! The only thing i've figured out with this is how to adjust for tire size and disable speed limiter.....other than that...not a damn thing...I'm even sitting in truck with wireless connection flipping back to DIESELPLACE.COM and i'm still lost...can't even load a tune....This efi might not be for me...might stick with edge and call it a day...I'd ask for help but you can't help me....lol I need a hands on lesson... and where i live, if you say you got EFI LIVE people ask what channel it's on?? I gotta get in touch with guy @ socal thought i could mange it..WRONG!!!

Dude do not give up. I really cannot help you but I am sure within minutes plenty of guys can get you up and running.

If all you want to do is load a tune in that you already have from someone or the library. Shoot me a PM with your phone number, I'll call ya

Do not give up. If needed call me 650 333 9781 and I can walk you threw some stuff. I have a lot of tunes and can give you to play with. Give guy a call and he will help you. He has saved my ass a couple of times and so has McRat. Who did you buy EFI LIVE from they should help you out.

dont give up it took me forever to learn how to run it. If it wasn't for guy at so-cal I would have went crazy. the best thing i can tell you to do to learn what to do is download a tune from this web site and compare it to your stock and see what is changed. good luck and you will fugure it out.

Read the tutorials in EFI and talk to a few people. It is going to take some time to get the hang of things, but there is a lot of support if you need some help. EFILive.com has some good reading on it also. There is a forum there too.

It's a little overwelming at first glance, give it time, with enough wondering around you'll finally start to see the light.

Dont feel bad, it took me two months to figure out Defuel. It wastaring me in the face the whole time!

The learning curve on EFI Live is six months to one year, and I am behind the curve if that is true. But I learn something new everytime I talk with guys from this site and vendors on this site.

Keep at it, I will even load mine up in the truck and talk to you on the phone to help you out!

I was about to offer a "hands-on" tutorial since I live about 30 minutes from the NY border........then I checked mapquest and OMG is Watertown a long way, about 5 hours:eek:.

I'm someone must be near you and can show you the basics.

Hey buddy don't worry bout it I'm just now figuring out how to get my truck to run right and i'm still not sure whats what on there lol. I want to share a little advice with you go to dogpile.com and type in EFI university and I think the site is efi101.com later some time this year they are goin to offer a class on EFI Live and how to tune the Duramax Diesel using EFI Live the only draw back is its a online class which sucks cause i like real classes hope this helps buddy and stick with it you'll catch on eventually like I have lol
