Why do we want to be able to do that Mike?


If you add any fuel to a LMM file it will clog the DPF filter pretty quick Simon. Atleast in my experience it did. Then you have to take it to the dealer to have them force a regen on the truck. Not to mention the ability the dealer has now to detect any screwing with the ecm and tell you your warranty is now void for doing so.

I have a good source telling me that the LMM guy's will be screwed if they try and bring there trucks in for engine work.:eek:

GM already pubilclly said that in an LMM TSB months ago

I saw that Ben. But sometimes it takes it coming from the horses mouth to believe it.
He's a serv manager and informed me that no LMM's will get engine serv without checking the ecm first.:eek:
GM has lost there ass on diesel warranty work, not that I contributed to it or nothing:D

ahhh ok. I didnt know they would by default check ALL LMM's.

I just assumed they would only dig deep if major engine failure occured...


scary stuff tho, that its being done that often. :eek:

Before you take your LMM in for warranty work, force a regen so when they look at the ECM it doesn't say if was 26,000 miles since your last regen.

Good point, but any engine related problem according to my friend must be diagnosed starting with an ecm scan, now at the top of the list. He said GM has never cracked down so hard on diesel engines.. A spare stock lmm ecm sure would be some good advice for all you lmm'ers. But then again without a tech 2 you would never know if it has been programed or not.
 
X2... thanks for all your guys (and gals :D ) work.

Any idea when a stable release will be out with Bidi and DVT? Im kinda scared to do all the updating and everything still :eek:


The software itself is stable. The time consuming part is now going to be writing "proper" documentation and a "nice" interface to get it all to hang together. ATM guys using Beta are editing text files to get certain functions operational and this isn't something we want to do with a public release.
