Hello everyone,

 

I'm new to this site, I recently bought a 2004 Silverado RCSB 5.3 2WD truck. I would like to know who makes software and the computer cable so I can read the computer output, error codes, and data log performance with my laptop computer?

 

Thanks

 

Jeff

AutoTap will probably do what you are looking for. There are other ones out there too. Check out TByrne's page in the prefered vendors section the the left.....he sells it and his website has a pretty good descripiton of everything it does.

Sounds good... Have any of you guys used this software before? Do you think I would need the Enhanced GM parameters? I'm thinking that I do... Thanks

I have AutoEnginuity's scantool on my Dell Pocket PC and I really like it. Lots of logging options, but I still wish I had all the enhanced sensor capability, but I just didn't want to fork out the extra $$$. I think their site is www.autoenginuity.com...

That's pretty cool, thanks for the link. I was thinking about getting the HPTuner for my LS1 '70 Corvette for its scanning tool and tuner in one. This AutoInginuity program is interesting as an alternative to AutoTap, but at $330 for the basic software plus the GM specific sensors, HPTuners isn't that much more for a full-blown tuner. I'd consider buying the AutoInginuity scanner if it were under $150 for everything. The cool thing about HPTuner is that you can scan any vehicle and you can tune any vehicle that is the same year and type as yours. LS1Edit is locked to your particular VIN so can only be used on your one vehicle. With the HPTuner, if you bought it for a 2000 Silverado, you could tune any 2000 Silverado that you wanted.

Yeah, autoenginuity's stuff is pretty dang pricey. I bought the Pocket PC and the autoenginuity setup as a package from a guy here on the site, so I didn't actually order it through them. They have some pretty deep discounts on ebay too for their packages sometimes...

 

The more I read about the HPTuners stuff, the more I like the sound of that. If I didn't already have a Wester's tune, I probably go ahead and get their basic setup.

 

I'm just glad there are enough companies out there to at least make some competition for this type of thing. :banghead:

Exactly... A few years ago Carputing (LT1Edit/LS1Edit) were the only game in town. Now with all of these other companies getting into it, the consumers finally win.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
