This is all that it does now when i plug it in, it repeats the same menu's regardless of how long i leave it unplugged, I can't tell whats in the truck for software now, it runs and drives fine, but my trinity is locked now.

got it sorted out, ran into the exact same issue here on the boss' 2011 CTSV, I am emailing you the update now.

You'll need to call from the PC so we can force the update on since the tool is locked.
Once the update is on, it will allow you to restore in recovery mode, then you can tune away

fixed

emailing you the update now.

Perfect got it, now I will test and let you know how it is working. Thanks for the quick reply. I hoping to really enjoy the better shifting.

Hey mike thanks for figuring that out, here's my issue though, yesterday at work I blew my knee out so I am gonna be out for a while until we figure out what's up with it. All my stuff is on my work computer. I'll get back with you when I'm back. When that is though I don't know. Thanks for your efforts.

Ouch, get better man!

Hey man I have 2008 Yukon Denali can you please email me the new file

Can you sent me a copy for my 2010 camaro ss. Email address is [email protected]

sent to both of you

Mike,

When its ready I'll happily make my vehicle available for T42 development

I can do double testing if you know what I mean

Alrighty... I did some testing and while it worked I noticed some bugs... Thought I would post them up to help out get them worked out. It would appear I had an error trying to go from econo mode programing to 87 tuning, because it would appear econo mode didn't backup the TCM... Then I got odd errors about cal not supported but only once... So I went was able to restore backup and then went from 87 to econ and that appeared to work better and tranny was shifting nice at WOT, but needed some more help at normal driving. Then I got home and wanted to go back to stock and it said pcm error -1 but I tried it again and it worked. So it just seems like I have to try a few times for some reason, also I unnderstand this is still beta testing... The question I wonder is, I like the g8 shifting in sport mode that we have, can I copy those stock settings over to the ext? Or does the EXT shift different because it is 2000 pounds more and AWD? Good work and I can't wait for the completed code to be released. Also can't wait for TCM to work with ECO mode tunes as well. Also I can do more testing if you want me to try specific things as well. This was on my 2011 escalade ext, with 6.2 and 6l80e.

It sounds like your tcm was not supported.
Did it actually let you select a tune, or just the 'modify stock tune'.

Thanks

Yes it did, it let me pick the 87 tune and it did back up the PCM and then the TCM. Let me know if you want me to upload my TCM so you can confirm it was supported.

please do, still does not sound like you selected a TCM tune, they are not listed by octane

How do I do that? Also it won't be until friday as I dropped the car off to get scratches fixed and a window seal replaced.

just export the backups with the DSDownloader.
