    Thank you very much for sharing Scott, well i have a friend that has the Tech2 scan tool, he bought it through Aliexpress, he uses that scan, and i used to borow it of him, before i started this project. I think it can do all that, plus to all, the cost of it was something like 120$.

    2 way controls are better known as Bi-Directional control. Since the engine, trans and Antilock Braking System(ABS) are controlled by the same controller, its called a VCM(Vehicle Control Module). As such if you have a Scan Tool, such as your friends Tech 2, you can do work on your brake system, then use the scan tool to activate the ABS motor in order to clear it of air.
    You can activate any electric or aux fans to ensure they are wired correctly
    You can engage and lock an electric trans in any gear you wish, as well as toggle the TCC(torque Converter Clutch)

    And perform a CASE relearn (CASE=Crankshaft Angle Sensor Error) CASE relearns allow the VCM to accurately detect misfires after a new engine, different crank, new crank reluctor are installed into the truck.

    Is there no way to tune with EFILive without buying the V9? I thought you could use a V7 or something like that and only need the V9 for the ability to flash a PCM?

    Are you sure that they weren't asking for the number of your Roadrunner so that you could apply the EFILive/Roadrunner license?

    peace

    Hello Hog,

    Yes I`m positive about that, aswell on the official EFILive website of the RoadRunner Realtime License, you have two rows to fill in, marked with a star *, meaning that must fill in, where one is *FlashScan Serial Number and the second one is *RoadRunner Serial Number. so if i just fill in Roadrunner serial number, the EFILive asks me to fill in the *FlashScan Serial Number, which i don`t have. So i thought ok, may be buying through moates.net, i can escape that,but NO.(((

    Ok guys, if you can help me now, i have got to start my swap soon, and want to get ready for it! In order to do that, i would like to make a step by step instructions on what i will have to do. Now i have on hands a 4L60E transmission, that if i install before the swap, will not work, since in my blackbox i have a tune for a manual transmission, since i have a 700R4 installed. and i have my 0411 PCM with Roadrunner, to make the PCM swap, and TunnerCat RT soft license and software, but when i just try to start it, it gives me an error unable to locate any Diffinition files (i guess it needs the Roadrunner connected via usb cable to work). And i have downloaded the "2002 Chevrolet Express Van Automatic L31 5.7L 4L60e 4wd (12212156)" tune. Now i have to figure out how, and what to do first, where to start, and step by steb to the finish line.

    - What do you guys sugest?

    - And if i make my pin swap, from blackbox to 0411, and connect my roadrunner installed in it via usb cable, will i be able by the usb, using tunercat RT, load the tune in the 0411 and start working on it?

    - Or may be i shall find a donner truck with 0411 installed, and ask the owner to use it, in order to connect my 0411 with the roadrunner installed, to load the tune, and make changes, and then take it off and make my swap (basically use someones track as abench)...?

    Thank you in advance!

    You will need the VDF for whichever calibration file you want to start with.
    I'm assuming that you want to keep the stock distributer and 4x reluctor, so I'd direct you towards the stock 2001-2002 calibrations.

    OBD2_03
    2001 –
    02 LS1 Trucks (4.3L, 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 8.1L)

    I realize that the 5.7 van isn't listed, but is indeed included in this VDF.

    It's strange, i did not get any reply from moates.net, but i have downloaded some different vdf files and same result, the tunercat just gives me same error, "unable to locate any Diffinition files".
    I as well wonder, I have downloaded the latest RRTuner.exe file, from the link http://www.moates.net/rtobd2-tunerca...l?cPath=100_55 -> Additional Links, and have installed it and registered. The .exe file is called rrtuner.exe, that have installed and registered. I have tryed downloading the .exe file from tunercat.com and upgrating it to RTtuner, but when i tryed to register, it says invalid registration data, and does not exept it for registration.

    Hi guys, so finally i got the diff files, installed them (well, unpacked to the directory on the program). And got the TC RR Tuner software working. So now I’ll be looking for the most close to my setup tune.
    I have downloaded some .xdf & .bin files, but cannot find .cal files. As well, when i opened (loaded) one of the tunes, and had a look in how many different options and changes can be made in the tune, understood that i have a long trial to go through, and a bunch of work to make. Hopefully i will not mess anything up, well i hope i will not!
    Does anyone have a clue if there is a list of settings somewhere in the web, i have to consider, and pay attention to??? May be something like that exists???

    Hello Jeff,

    Finally i got the TunerCat RT software instead of EFILive, because in order to buy the EFILive license, you are obliged to have the EFILive V2 cable and tuner, otherwise EFILive would not issue the license. So i went with the TunerCat. I`m now looking for the base tune to start of, for my set up. I wonder if you could help me with that. As well i wonder, if there is a list of settings somewhere in the web, that i have to consider, and pay attention to when changinr the tune for my setup???

    Thank you!

    No, it`s a 350 EFI 1990 engine, with L31 engine heads, manifold and all of the top end is from L31, as well as the wiring under the hood and black box pcm, that i will be swapping to 0411.
