I agree with you, and that's exactly what we did, further to that we actually sourced an oscilloscope and offered to send it to a tester. Given the cost of such equipment and the skill required to use it as a borrowed item, it was only offered privately (you won't find any posts publicly on this).
At the end of the day short of importing an LLY to Australia to test this feature ourselves or putting a person on a plane with relevant equipment and find a test vehicle at the other end, we did everything we could to get this tested in a reasonable time frame. The truth is, as unpalatable as it is, nobody - beta tester, public consumer or any other interested party stepped up until now.
It took 18 months to get to this point, scheduling this in for review is going to take time.
Tim, can you please point me to the thread on our forum you created for your issues? or the http://support.efilive.com/index.php support ticket number?
We don't profess to be able to cover each and every thread that is created - we are only human, although we do give it our best shot. The Helpdesk support ticketing system is a far better way for us to manage these things.

I know the feeling. I thought it was just mine since it is a transplant with minimal electronics added in. It drives me nuts having to guess wetehr V7 or V8 will flash my ECM, or if it will BBF or not. I get random messages saying my ECm is locked when I know it isn't, and all other kinds of issues. Most of the time it just ends up being a PITA for me though. Just CAL flashed an LMM here a few weeks back with the V2, and it screwed up all of the OBD2 outputs and disabled his EDGE monitor. I've posted about some of my issues in the past, but I always figured most of it was me not knowing teh software that well.
June 1, 2012 software update includes changes to E60 (LLY) injector cut-off bi-directional control.
Changes require user feedback asap before this goes back onto the sit and wait pile again.

If I have 7.5 installed already, can I install this into a different directory? With all the issues regarding flashing LLY's right now, I don't want to upgrade and screw things up, or has that been all fixed?
It looks like, at least in V8, they have fixed it. From the changelog:
Not sure about the V7 program though.
Has there been any update to this? I had a truck last week with bad over fueling at idle. When I turned off injector 1 (passenger front) it cleared up. Replaced that injector and it was the same. Replaced injector 2 (driver front) and the problem went away. Just had another LLY with a fuel knock while driving. Turned of injector 8 and it cleared up. Replaced injector 8 and the knock is still there. What injector do I "try" now? 7?
Is your EFI software totally up to date? It should have been fixed a few revisions ago but I haven't had time to verify it works yet.
This will not work as the FICM fires in batches of 4. If 1 injector in a batch goes out the FICM kills all 4 on that batch. This is why when you lose connection and have to ice pick one, it runs so rough when it happens. 1 injector losing connection cause you to lose 4.
The FICM does not "fire the injectors in batches of 4". How would that work in the engine if multiple injectors were all firing at the same time...the engine wouldnt even run.
I think what you mean, is that the FET high-side drivers in the FICM have the injectors bussed electrically in groups of 4. So if there is a fault in only one injector circuit, the FICM has no choice but to shut down the offending bus because it cannot completely electrically isolate one injector circuit individually...it has to bring down the remaining 3 with it because they are all driven off the same high-side driver.
The separate low side driver is what triggers the injector. Obviously there are 8 of those....because a diesel needs to fire each injector individually...

If you want to get technical about it, then yes. I tried putting it in basic terms. I guess I should have said they were in 2 groups of 4 instead of fired.
Most DC electro-mechanical devices that are driven by solid state electronics (IE, a computer) are low-side driven.
I think its because solid-state low-side drivers (IE, a FET) are cheaper. Whether theres an electrical advantage to switching something on and off on the low-side versus the high side, I dont know....Fingers would have to answer that.
Ben
Don't take this the wrong way ferm but your post did seem like you were saying our injectors are batch fired like older style multi port injected gassers
