Sounds like you need to install the Trinity Driver from the CD.

you have to install a tune from the trinity, so that the trinity saves the copy of the original backup tune file to it...

then you need to use the latest version of the DSDownloader app (2.2.1.7.) and export the copy of your original backup stock tune file, and also a copy of the "last tune written" tune file...

then post up those two tune files...

Ok I have programed my truck, I have down loaded the stock tune, I am unable to cut and paste it though or copy and paste. How to I get the file on here. Also I need help with the speedo settings, I have 35 x 12.5 x 20 tire size I do not know this equates to in mm though or aspect ratio please help. I tried setting by tire size but it did not help. Im not sure if this is contribuyed by the gearing change.

Ok are you guys working on this, I only bought your tuner because you said you could do a custom tune for the gear ratio. I am no longer getting responces from you. I would really like to get my spedo right as it is racking up extra miles on my truck and effecting the over all milage.

Ok how do I get that I used your standard tune with out changing any parameters. Also back to the tires I need to know the correct formula for inputing for a 35, 12.5, 20.
