    newbie problem

    Hi
    I have a 1990 r2500 burb with the 7.4. Here is the problem I am facing. I tried the $42 file series. The analog gauges are unreadable. The needles move, so I believe the data stream is flowing. The digital number underneath work. Do I need another set of files or is there another problem? Would the $85 file work?

    Thanks Brad

    What is the ECM number? While you look get the four letter BCC/chip code...

    Ok here is the numbers I came up with;

    On the ECM - 01228747

    On the chip I found these:

    1228747 is $4F

    For the chip you need the four letters off top of chip. The numbers you gave are off the bottom and don't help.

    Sorry about that. I had the chip in a holder. It is AUMZ
    Now with tunerpro running, but not hooked up to the vehicle, should the gauges be readable with the new ($4F) file?
    Thanks Brad

    Not without a data log to tell them what to read.

    Or do you mean they are blank? If they are blank it's because I add a butt load of pre made dashboards to ADX files I work on, but you need to Right Click on each gauge and choose from the list what you want there.

    No what I mean is that the gauges are unreadable. Say for instance rpms. The needle is pointing to a scratch instead of a number.

    I think a screen shot is needed to understand the problem.
    The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.

    The laptop is outside out of range of the hotspot. Let me get a screenshot and I will post it up in a while.
    Thank you for your assistance. It is much appreciated.

    Here is the screen shot after I used 4F. The truck wasn't hooked up. Is it supposed to be like that?

    Thanks Brad

    Ahhhhhhh.....???? Something is wrong? I just checked and those ADX work fine, I actually used them a couple weeks ago on a truck too... but it's like your computer is missing fonts? or?

    I wonder what is wrong!!! I used this laptop before with TP and didn't have a problem. I will check into it.
    Thanks again for all your assistance
    I will let you know what the problem was if I figure it out.
