Q - Where can I purchase EFILive?
A - http://www.efilive.com/resellers.html (http://www.efilive.com/resellers.html) or https://store.efilive.com/ (https://store.efilive.com/)
If you reside in the USA or Canada, we recommend purchasing EFILive from one of our US based resellers. You will save on shipping and duty.
Q - Can this be used on the LBZ motor?
A - No, data scanning and tuning is not supported for this motor.
Q – Can I get software assistance outside of the Diesel Place?
A – Yes, EFILive runs it’s own forum.
Scanning Questions:
Q - How does EFILive scantool compare to a $4,000 TechII?
A - As good if not better. EFILive's scantool allows you to monitor as many data parameters from your engine as TechII does except you can view them all on a full color laptop screen. You can of course also save as many log files onto your PC as you wish.
Q - I don't have a laptop, what now?
A - EFILive's hardware interface can actually log approx 25min of data without a laptop, great for quick drives or drag racing. Just download the logged data onto a desktop PC later.
Q - Does EFILive support ECM output overrides like TechII, eg, Injector shutoff?
A - We expect this will be implemented by the end of 2005 for LB7 & LLY.
Q - How many vehicles can I log with EFILive?
A - Unlimited (if the vehicle is supported).
Q - What sort of data can I see with the scantool?
A - As at the time of writing you can monitor over 100 different data parameters on the Duramax, these include Fuel Pressures, Injection times, Balancing rates, RPM, Engine Temp and many, many more.
Tuning Questions:
Q - What is the difference between 'X' handheld and EFILive?.
A - With brand 'X' handheld you are locked into whatever tune has been developed by that vendor, if you are unhappy with something you can try to get the vendor to work with you to fix the problem or live with it! If you had EFILive you can 'tweak' your own tune as many times as you wish to get the truck running how YOU want it.
Q - What is the difference between 'X' plug-in and EFILive?.
A - Plug-in modules sit between the ECM and the sensors / injectors and modify incoming and outgoing signals from the ECM, therefore every plug-in module is only 'fooling' the ECM, the calibrations within the ECM will always be the standard factory ones. This is why DTC's (Check Engine Lamps) get set because the ECM eventually senses something is not correct. EFILive does not fool the ECM, it programs in new settings directly into the ECM's Flash memory.
Connectors are a very common source of problems in engine bays and unplugging/replugging them is asking for trouble, with EFILive there is no need to even lift the hood to alter your tune, retain totally stock appearance.
Q - So just what can I change in the ECM with the program?
A - Of course the basics like tire sizes, speed limiters, turn on/off DTC's, but you can also change all the fueling tables, boost control, fuel rail pressure controls, EGR, over 120 parameters and tables can be altered.
Compare that with what a handheld tuner will let you change!.
Q - My buddy told me he has a great tune done for he's truck, can I copy it?
A - Yes you can. You can even copy just certain tables if you wish, compare two files and much more. However, EFILive strongly discourages the copying and sharing of any copyright 'performance' tunes.
Q - I tow my LS1 race vehicle with my Duramax, can I tune both?
A - Yes you can, you just require a programming license for each vehicle you wish to tune.
