I think I'll order the vehicle side connector too just because. In case it did get corroded or contaminated with fluid. There was something black in the cavity when I first looked at it, then I cleaned it out with MAF cleaner. Wouldn't hurt.
Glad they got it quickly and it made it. Looks like you've got plenty to work on
Yeah I heard the same thing, and Performabuilt says so in their videos. I forgot again, keep ordering the expensive stuff.Glad they got it quickly and it made it. Looks like you've got plenty to work on
also, Unlike engine oil, transmission fluid is transmission fluid. I buy the cheapest dexron (x) I can buy. Just for future reference. I've asked a lot of transmission builders and they have all said the same thing. Ask your guy next time you talk to him. Just trying to save you a few dollars in the future
For once, I wasn't wrong in your thread.
I don't need to interface it as in take the tune from an EFI Live file and work on it, but to download it from the vehicle and then work on it. So, like Dan was saying it should work. Frank @ Performabuilt just told me HPT will modify any tune as long as it's not password locked and if it is I'll get the password from Justin. He will no longer hold me hostage! I was shopping for the Mpvi2+and found it plus 2 credits for $344 from Hinson Motorsports on Amazon which is $55 off plus they send 2 t-shirts yay. I can always use a couple work-on-the truck shirts.
It's fixed! It turns out that code it kept throwing- P0785 for the 3-2 shift solenoid- was causing the PCM to put the trans in limp mode. And Performabuilt told me they were curious what would happen if I could tune it out since their builds don't even use that solenoid. So I used my new HP Tuners to set that DTC from illuminating the DIC on the second failure to "not report" which makes it invisible to the PCM. Aha! I drove a half hour last night and then today I drove around town for an hour and even got into a bit of rallying with a Subie. It shifts great. I believe it was throwing that code more and more and since I only saw the MIL on each second failure I didn't know it was probably always there, and if it was there, the PCM was setting limp mode. Thanks to Frank @Performabuilt and @randeez and @Dantheman1540 and @pwtr02ss and anybody else I might be forgetting that helped me. This is a huge relief. I might keep the harness and electronic parts but I can return a few things. I have no plans on dropping the pan and figuring out what's up with that solenoid since I don't need it but if something else in there decides to mess up at least I'll have the parts. THE BEAST LIVES!!!!!

Hell yeah. I couldn't stand waiting 2 weeks for every single answer plus now I'll do some tinkering with tuning which I've always wanted to do. I waited all in all a month for Justin to get back to me, and he was no help. He actually had me believing the PCM wasn't the problem- he said it must be the wiring and it was commanding shifts fine. I don't think he even tried to help even though I offered to pay him. He doesn't have time for this stuff. Which I understand but when he's the only person you're counting on it sucks. It was his tune, he could have fixed it. IMO, of course. I was at my wit's end. I can't stand waiting a day, much less 2 weeks. Then another 2 weeks. And if I was to have him disable that code, it would have been another 2 weeks. And if that didn't do it and I needed him to do something else, another 2 weeks. I was losing it I swear. But I'm much better now....
I'm the same--I hate waiting on and depending on other people. Sux.Hell yeah.

I wish. I actually have the pulley, stashed away for the day I decide to pull the blower and install bigger injectors (thanks Whipple) and then do a dual fuel pump and 2/bar tune. My log file showed the injectors were at 98% at WOT according to Justin and my MAF was maxed out as well. I don’t doubt him on that. So off the pulley came.I think was well worded, BBP is awesome and is what 98.4% of people especially on this forum should use for their tuning needs but..... Once you get into serious stuff and want a system to help troubleshoot or test stuff with 2 weeks is way too long to wait! That's exactly why I switched back in 2017, self-sufficiency is key in life.
Now you can look at stuff like Injector duty cycle and see if you can pulley down some for more boost
Is going SD the same as just tuning out the maf? Is SD already in the pcm files?
A tuner asked me if I wanted the maf tuned out since I constantly have a maf code stored. Doesn't light the cell but it always shows when the obd is scanned. Because of this I can't pass my state's inspection.
