EFILive Big update coming this week
- Thread starter EFI Support
- Start date
I saw screen shots of it, looks pretty cool. Kory Willis oughta know something about when it will be released.
Shawishka kawn lashka kno whala go!
I can say with the LML running such serious pressure, pulse width is tiny... I would Imagine!

The first requirement for EFILive is to read the ECM. Once the ECM is read, the user can edit the file and flash changes.
GM's level of security on the LML prevents the read. Distributing files by other means crosses into a grey area we don't wish to tread legally. We continue to try our methods each time new OS's come out or are updated, but at this point no dice.
Some products don't require individual reads to offer programming, and/or don't share the same concerns as us regarding the legal distribution of files.

As disgruntled as many people get over the issue. I understand efi lives side too. They're a small "mom n pop" shop when compared to Bosch and GM. One thing I've learned about big companies like them is that they are always watching everything. What people do, what people post online. They aren't oblivious to the world, however they generally don't speak up until they've built a case and they feel it's worth the effort. Many times when they do speak up you'll never know. The ones you do hear about usually don't fare well.
While everybody wants to baby powder up their hand and slap the EPA, the laws are here. The EPA knows shutting down companies selling products would require too much man power and make them look even worse so they go to the OEMs and nag them. Then they come up with an ECM that can't be legally read and such. In a way you almost gotta respect the respect EFI Live has for GM morally at this level. We all know GM wasnt worried about their reliability, I'm sure the EPA was just nagging on them or Bosch was concerned with the new pump.
Personally I'm happy with the powertrain on our 11. I don't like the dead pedal but once its lit and going it's fun.
The interior is still a joke. Still no express up windows. (My 00 Jetta TDI has them) mirrors that need more power options, and an overall boring plain look on anything less than LTZ. I really think Ford is above GM on interiors lately. Hopefully GM is getting ready to unveil a new design.
The LML AFAIR runs a Max of 29,000psi. Nothing super high compared to other.systems. the previous models ran between 23 000 and 26,000 Max. The CP4s are having some issues too. Cummins partnered with Scania to build their injection system for the new on road motors. They are running up to 36,000psi IIRC.
You can drive without having the dead pedal if your always thinking ahead but in the o sh!t moments it leaves you stranded, hunting for gears because the engines hunting for its balls. Its like the truck just walked into a room with a.naked girl on the bed and its scrambling to get its pants off but trips and falls.
I thought some people were claiming it was loosing rail pressure? And that was causing the dead pedal?

Let me clear something up. If we had a way to read the ECM we'd offer support. If we had a way to legally distribute stock files, we'd offer support. If we could overcome those hurdles we would be committed to offering the same level of tuning available to other Duramax vehicles supported (based on ECM functionality). Unfortunately those hurdles are show stoppers - without that piece of the puzzle nailed, the rest becomes mute

This is not a problem that is going to vanish.
Somebody is going to have to develop a "work around", or it will revert back to analog foolers. If the LML's are tough, I think whatever replaces it is unlikely to be more friendly. At some point they will use a black box or telemetry to check for modifications, so any attempt at changing an ECM will be caught pretty quick. This might even go retroactive to any vehicle equipped with factory telemetry. IE - At a smog check, you could fined, confiscated, etc. This isn't going to happen for years, but it will happen if you look at the trend.
1960's - Emissions devices added.
1970's - Emissions testing started.
1980's - Computer engine management.
1990's - Black Boxes started. Trucking companies and rental cars get telemetry.
2000's - OEM Telemetry started, ECM function testing at smog checks. Black box data deemed legal for criminal prosecution.
2010's - Mandatory tire pressure sensors, harder ECM's, crack down on tuning.
The trend is towards detecting changes to the cars digitally, and making them harder to change in the first place.
A company that made "buggy whips" for horses in 1900 is now out of business. A company that made "vehicle accelerators" in 1900 is still operational.
Buggy whips aren't going be around too many more years.
