Question about the procedure post Force Cal Update.

I went through a Force Calibration Update yesterday with Garret, got that to work and installed updates via the DSD. My question is, am I able to get the backup drg I have saved in an email from when I was getting a custom tune back onto the truck? This is a 2012 Ram 1500 5.7. I have the HF tune installed now and I can't adjust anything because it won't backup anything due to the trinity tune being installed, and I can't restore the Original Backup because it tells me it hasn't been saved or is already installed.

Followup question, when I put the HF tune on the tool and it asks me to select the original backup (which I browse and select), can I ever really do anything with the backup file I select?

Thanks everyone!

the tool will read a new backup now that you have forced a cal update to the vehicle.

Is it suppose to read it automatically? My first step after the updates was I put the HF tune on the tool and selected the backup then plugged it back into the vehicle, was that wrong?

Maybe I need to call again and redo it, I have a feeling I missed a step in there somewhere.

do the cal update then load a canned tune.

Alright, yeah I messed that part up. I suppose I'll have to call again because the DSD is no longer showing the Calibration Update tab on the bottom. Thanks Mike!

did you load the cal update to the vehicle?

I don't think so. Here are the steps I took:

Called tech support, they walked me through the steps while I was plugged into the truck, I took the trinity to my computer and it installed some updates, then I immediately loaded the HF tunes onto the tool and went back. I may have skipped past the prompt once I got back into the truck accidentally (my buttom sometimes sticks lately). I don't remember loading anything to the truck after getting the updates from the computer.

will it let you load a tune now?

Unfortunately no, because it'll try and backup the tune then stop because it's the HF tune currently installed. I think I may have disabled the FCU.

I'm just going to give you guys a call today and maybe redo the FCU.

Just an update, I called again and did the update correctly and everything is good. Thanks Mike and DS tech!
