EFILive has successfully commenced it's LB7 BETA testing program and has confirmed a public release date for the first week of December for LB7 sales. EFILive is now ahead of it’s beta schedule and is pleased to announce we are now looking for people to participate in our LLY Beta test program. EFILive will soon offer support for the Duramax LLY (2004.5 to 2006) motor, so if you own or work with these engines then you may qualify to join us in our beta test program.

EFILive's Duramax programming opens the world to untapped power from these awesome 6.6L V8, never before has anybody offered such a detailed tuning solution to the Duramax market.

No more add on boxes fooling the ECM, no need to 'stack', no more unwanted check engine lights, with EFILive you have complete control with over 100 parameters and tables to alter directly in the ECM from injection timing, injection amount (both pilot and main) for more power and better MPG, plus of course the simple things like VATS bypass, tire/speedo rescaling and the ability to change many diagnostic fault code parameters like overboost and DTC enablers.

Workshops will appreciate the option to lock ECM's from other tuners being able to read or write to that ECM, this includes the GM dealers!. Lock reversal and programming standard programs back into the ECM is a quick 40 second operation.

Team our awesome editor up with the best scantool on the market that includes features like the ability to log up to 25 mins of data without a laptop, built in EGT input that is logged alongside the engine data and you have a Duramax tuning and scanning solution rivalled by no other.

But if that's not enough, prices start from just $699 which will allow you to program any two vehicles EFILive supports (Duramax LB7, Duramax LLY or LS1), then after that, additional vehicle programming licenses can be purchased via Email for under $100 with a maximum of 25 per cable.

Over the last year EFILive has taken LS1 tuning and scanning to a new level, now it's time for the LLY Duramax!.

We are looking for all levels of users to help us get the product tailored
to all spectrums of the market before it's public release. The LLY package is expected to be on sale late December 2005, a couple of months ahead of our original projection.
To initially qualify you must answer yes to all these questions -
1 - Do you own or have unlimited access to an LLY Duramax that you will be willing to program?
2 - Do you have at least a basic understanding of Diesel tuning and have an EGT probe?
3 - Do you own a laptop with a USB port and have good general PC knowledge?
4 - Do you finally want to get rid of plug in modules and generic one size fits all tunes from your truck?.
5 - You are prepared to purchase the EFILive product (if not already owned) to conduct the beta testing with.
6 - You are prepared to sign and return a non-compete and confidentiality agreement with EFILive.


If you answered yes to all the above, then please send an Email to - betadiesel@efilive.com with a brief bio of yourself or your company, all Emails will be treated confidentially. Applications close on November 28th, so be quick. To those of you who jumped the gun for LLY when we announced LB7, we have kept your email on file, but do ask that you review your submission and ensure that all the selection criteria has been addressed. EFILive screenshots can be viewed in our LB7 post.

Great. :)

Couple questions. Somehow I had the impression you could load your tune to the scantool and then flash the pcm with that. Looks like I was wrong, rereading the lb7 thread, you still have to use the usb cable and flash the pcm from the computer? If so I will just have to get a really long usb cable, then I won't need a laptop. ;)

Also, anyone can download the software and start learning to use it? Then just buy the scanner and cable and install tune on your truck? That seems like a really cool deal.

Wow you guys have a fast server. Average 226, 4:58 to get that file. :rocking:

I better get around to getting some gauges.

I'm signing up!

Both the scantool and tuner are PC based, the 'adaptor' between the PC and vehicle does have the ability to log data (about 25mins) without a laptop but not program. With 2nd hand PC's worthy of running the software going for about $200 you could always just have a desktop PC in the garage :)
In fact the actual programming part does not need much CPU power, all you would need is a 250MHz Pentium and Win98, plenty of cheap laptops on Ebay with those specs.
Faster CPU power is needed when data logging for chart and gauge display update rates.

Yes, the current download only has LS1 ability though.
But at least you can certainly get a feel for the software and if you get really enthusiastic you could always read the manuals.

Ross

Great news! sent my email. Hopefully you got it.

Awesome!!!!! My email is SENT!!!

sounds like great news!

What will the purchase cost be to the testers? Normally when I test for someone the product is free, but #5 on your list leads me to believe I would have to pay to do your research! Whats up?

Will the software have the ability to read balance rates, etc? I was looking for a list but couldn't find one. I know what I want for Christmas. Do you hear that Santa? :)

Santa is fake.

Rick,
The beta testers do purchase the product at a discounted rate, the beta test is more just a confirmation that things look normal and work as expected on various vehicle combinations not a blank sheet let us have you truck so we can figure it all out type deal.

Dave,
Below is a list of parameters that can be logged in the scantool.
Typically to retain fast data rates 15 - 18 parameters from that list below would be logged at once.

Cheers,
Ross

You could give us an early Christmas present and release it early :).

Sent you an email. ;)

Sounds great:D . Sent an email.

will we hear back from you if we sent an email? I just want to make sure my email went through.

--Ben

I'm in. Email sent.

e-mail sent

We have recieved a large number of Emails. It is impossible for us to respond to everyone acknowledging an email receipt. All applications that were sent to the BETA test email address will get a reply Email on the 28th.

Please note, we have had a number of emails simply stating "I'm interested" These statements do not give us enough information to assess the suitability of the applicant.

Cheers,
Ross

Today is the big day! I have my fingers crossed!!!

is there any good information that a newbie can start reading before EFI Live is released that would give some good basic tuning info for diesels?

i do believe i will buy this as soon as it becomes available

Today is the big day! I have my fingers crossed!!!

Everyone will get an Email in about 12hrs time.

EFI live is the best tuning equipment on the market for gm's lsx motors. I have high hopes for it in my dmax as well.:ro)

can someone expand on how difficult the acutal tuning will be? Will it be possible for the novice user to write one with out destroying the motor?

To what extent will we be able to control boost via EFILive? I would assume we'll have full control on the LLY...

I'm wondering if I should save my pennies or go ahead and buy PPE's boost controller.

How many changes can I make on my truck? or is it just two changed loads?

Is there any risk of me causing damage to my engine, or do you have any safety built in incase I make a mistake? I don't want to burn my new truck to the ground, computers have been known to freeze up in my hands...:(

If I set my truck back to stock, can I re-sell your program to a friend or even a stranger to use? Or is it like a used gun shell after 2 loads and I just have to toss it?

turbo lcc - you probably should educate yourself a bit first, or stay tuned around here, I'm sure others will share the knowledge over time.

coyotekid - you will have full control over the boost, if the ECM controls it, you will be able to modify it. Whatever the mechanical boost limits are with the factory turbo you will be able to reach them.

marksrt43 - you can reprogram your truck 1,000 times if you wish, the license works per vehicle, not how many times you program that vehicle.
The product is shipped with 2 licenses, so you chose the two vehicles you wish to program (you are prompted when you attempt to program a vehicle) then you can reprogram those two vehicles as many times as you wish. If you wish to add a 3rd, 4th, 10th vehicle to program it costs $99 per vehicle.
You cannot reset the license usage, once it's programmed a vehicle that is it.
You can cause a major meltdown if you wanted to, it is too hard to build in 'safety' margins not knowing if the end user is chasing an extra 30Hp or 300Hp.

Ross

Beta applications are now closed, Emails have been sent to all that applied, please don't be offended if you did not make it, if you did, welcome aboard.

Thanks,
Ross

Do you have any good reading material a person can start the education process?

Dooh! Recieved the email. Looks like I'll be waiting for the production units:( I'll let you guys fiqure out what works best and copycat, so get busy.

yup me to idaho rob
i hope it get release soon i wanna play with it

Well I guess I don't feel so bad I didn't make the cut then either...:)

I do understand that EFI can't let EVERYONE be a beta tester. They've got to draw the line somewhere. There are undoubtedly better testers out there than me because they have a lot more experience.

I didn't make the cut either, didn't think I would, there are many far more qualified people on this board than I.

I'll be watching this very closely. I believe the possibilities with EFI Live are endless.

If we get hit with a emissions testing, we can download a "clean tune" that would put just enough fuel to keep the engine running.

Us LLY guys may be able to disconnect the VVT function and put one of those big aftermarket LB7 waste gate turbos on.

The potential is endless.

I'm really excited about this.

Sounds like there is 25 of us waiting for now. It also looks like we can order the LS1 version and use it for data tracking while we wait for the LLY software to be released. Then download the software and we are ready to go. Do I understand this correctly?

Ross,

Putting who made the cut off list a side, this sounds like the most promising product for the Duramax's to date. When it's available please let me know before IdahoRob!;)

Hope all goes well,

Opie

My truck runs great with what I got, I'll play it safe, and leave the experiments to the computer experts.....

Actually full LB7 version will be released next week. With this you can clear codes and data log your LLY until the end of December when the LLY version is expected to be released. :D

I have a bunch ready to ship any time you guys are ready.

Back to Beta testing..............................

Back to Beta testing..............................

Yah, get back to work and learn ALLLLLL the ins and outs of that stuff so the rest of us can bogart your knowledge. ;)

Ross-- how should we go about getting our names added to the Beta Duramax forum on the EFILive forum? I already made an account name..

thanks,
Ben

Did I pass the test?:joke:

Yes, I could go on that it was a setup......but no, I did a cut/paste of the full PID list and it would appear I left one in from the LS1 :(

Cheers,

Guys with LLY stuff, how is it working out for you???? I don't wanna sell my programmer if it's not working well!!! Still haven't heard a peep from anyone with an LLY!?!

They are probably under strict guidelines not to say anything until it is released (at least that's the way it was when I was a LLY beta tester for Edge).

Well maybe Flashscan can give us an update about how well it works on an LLY???

Well maybe Flashscan can give us an update about how well it works on an LLY???

Well, we had some delays in actually getting the LLY version to the beta testers (sorry guys), they only got it in the last 24hrs!.

We'll post some results here over the next few days.

Cheers,
Ross

All that I can say is that we are having fun :D

thats for sure!!!!

patience, everyone...its coming!

Thanks Ross! I just want to make sure that it works as well on the LLY as it seems to on the LB7 before dropping 700 clams.

Feels like Christmas and groundhog day in one. I can see the gift for the LLY's under the tree, but everytime I head over to open, the day starts over just before I get there.

The racing season starts for me in April, EFI guys get-her-done. Guess I'll be calling you Tripp.

My Christmas list is getting out of hand: SC stage 5, 5" exhaust, EFI, head studs, tires. I must of been a bad, bad boy... my wife said O.K.:D :D :D

Rob

The LLY stuff is different from the LB7 but it looks like a lot of unlocked potential awaits in those tuning tables.........:cool:

You guys will be in for some fun, but you can't play if you don't have the hardware........

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WAITING FOR ???????
