U7186 update problems

Post by 1987k20 »

Using a u7186 on my 2007 duramax LBZ (Classic bodystyle). It had Rev20 on it. I wanted to be able to check balance rates so I tried to updated to 9r15. It got to ~8k bits and froze. I tried 9t13f and it got to ~7k bits and froze. Then tried 9r11 and it loaded on the tuner, installed in the truck, but the truck would only start and then shut right back down.

I then installed 9r08 on the tuner, and installed it this morning when I got to work (had no more time last night). This afternoon, it started, pulled out of the parking space, but I noticed the exhaust note sounded a little different. When I pulled out of the parking lot and hit the gas it felt down on power.....almost stock, then I got a check engine light and a message center flashing brake system fault. Pulled codes and I cant for the life of me remember what the # was, but it was a ECM/PCM fault.

I reinstalled the factory tune and drove home with no problems. So now I sit here wondering WTF is the matter, and needing a tune that will work with my truck. Hell, Id be happy to have R20 back, just so I can have my horsepower again.

Ok, that worked.....now any ideas as to why 9r08 wouldnt work and it gave me a brake failure message? I attached the one I downloaded here off the forum. Is there a problem with it and the 07 lbz's? It seems ridiculous to me that my tuner (even though it is a little old), cant be updated beyond a 2007 update.

If it cant, guess I wasted my $30 on the computer interface kit :(

Like I said the whole reason for updating was so I could view balance rates, etc.

No, I cant imagine whats up with that, I dont recall have any such issues with 9r08, and anyone that has an older tool that cant update to the latest, we always put them on 9r08 with no complaints...
