    I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm gonna learn. I hooked everything up by following moates startup and truck want start. I thought I could plug in and start up then look at adjustments. How do I find the bin for the original memcal?

    I am using a touch screen tablet and hit the emulate tab when I picked it up. Where do I go from here?

    You have a Harris Performance Chip, not a stock chip.

    The Ostrich 2.0 won't read the Memcal - Dang it, Dang it, and Dang it AGAIN!

    I don't like the idea of you having to spend more money than you already have - Frustration, Frustration, and Frustration AGAIN.

    Try loading the attached STOCK .bin file into the Ostrich 2.0 and post a data log.

    Thank you Dave, and yes I'm spending way to much money. I have the original memcal but, I have larger cam and throttle body w/ egr delete. The Harris chip is a coustom chip and was stinking up the world. Is there another place I can get on from?

    One option would be to read the Harris Memcal with a Moates.net Burn 2 - http://www.moates.net/burn2-chip-pro....html?cPath=94 and HDR1 Memcal Header - http://www.moates.net/hdr1-memcal-he....html?cPath=64

    See attached picture.

    Then you can load the .bin file read from the Harris Memcal into the Ostrich 2.0 with TunerPro RT.

    Dave, this may be one of the chips that Harris locked the BLM's on, he should probably start with a stock Bin and tune from there.

    Questions...I've been using a tablet with one usb port, and wondered if I can use a laptop to emulate and data log at the same time?
    Does the emulation need to be in progress to run the bin that it loaded onto ostrich 2?

    When I change the injector flow and save it, I unplug the computer from the ostrich, turn off the truck, then it goes into "limp mode"... why? I was able to get it working again by removing the G1 adapter, unplugging the memcal and plugging it directly into the ECM. What am I missing??
