On my Gen3 LQ9 engine and 4L65e tranny I have put in a new mild-performance cam and ram intake manifold. I also had to swap out the oil pan(with sensor) and used a shallower 7 quart pan for ground clearance. A couple of questions: I want to continue to use Universal Patcher to make tune changes (don't want to spend the money for HP Tuners). but not what parameters that have to be changed. I have watched a bunch of videos on HP Tuners and it logically seems to be a little easier to determine which ones are affected. If you have any suggestions of how to go about making it all work better with Universal Patcher I would love to see it. Thanks for your great content.

I repaired cars and spent years with GM vehicles, then held tech Seminars in 7 states for ACDelco. For almost two decades GM uses a global architecture meaning metric on everything. I can go to Dubai, UAE, Egypt and others, the components, wiring, diagnostic flow charts and readings are metric. Remember, Jimmy Carter wanted 88kl on highways moving us and England (SAE standard / Imperial) into one. It sucked and never happened by a new motorcycle I bought went to 55 MPH and stopped. Shame because I could peg that in second gear. But at sea level water boils at 212 degrees F, but add 3 1/4 degree F for every lb of pressure the cap held on coolant. So, 264 degrees F before boil but the standard has been having the gauge in the middle straight up. This is 212. I am not programming PCM's but 411 is a term for years on forums for the 4.3, 5.3L and others. Lost track and have no clue about the numbers/letters you thru out there. I installed an 8k resistor to do a 30 re-learn to run my sonar on a floor stand to clean injectors, compression check, leakage and live gage oil pressure. But will send mine to MO. for finishing the rest. Oh, I will be running a canister for purge, just no EVAP testing or EONV, which is common for detecting real small leaks. (Engine Off, Natural Vacuum) Interesting video, nice info. DK, ASE Master Tech since 78, tech since 70.

You’ll use the OBD2 port but you’ll need a different cable/interface tool. The one I’m currently recommending is the OBDX Pro VT, I’m just putting together a video about it. Have it shot but not edited and uploaded yet. Unfortunately since you are in Canada like me it will come from Australia and will take a while to get here. Or you can use a J2534 tool like a VX Diag VCX Nano or Drewtech Mongoose Pro. If you want to shoot me an email at randy@lowbuckls.com I could probably loan you a tool to connect using Universal Patcher if you want.

@@LowbuckLS I appreciate it man, thanks for the reply! I won’t take your cable, I put in a ticket with hptuners and hoping they’ll have a fix for me. Thanks again, I’ll look into ordering the cable!

Working on a way to have a “crawl control”. Trying to use cruise control on a ls 6.0 gen 3. Drw. But the key to it is finding the 25 mph set limit, there has to be a way to lower that value in the programing. Then in my jeep I could set a 4 mph crawl, any help would be appreciated!!!!!

I see factory talk view on your computer. Only guys that deal woth controls and PLC's deal with that. Are you a controls engineer?

I agree it’s not an easy piece of software to use and there isn’t much for documentation. HP Tuners is easier if you don’t mind paying for credits. But even HP Tuners is not that easy to use.

A word of warning - Univ. Patcher isn't perfect on every OS. My '99 fbody OS doesn't have everything defined in their program and other random things ended up getting changed after flashing like idle speed, dfco, and probably other stuff i couldn't find. I emailed the guy and gave him info and he said he'll work on it but i'm just saying double check things.

Good advice, always good to double check.

Wait wait wait we can do this for free? I actually enjoy using hptuners but I guess that’s because I don’t know any better. Great video Randy! I have to check it out

This works well for stuff like removing VATS. For doing actual tuning like making changes to timing and fuel I still use HP Tuners. There are logging features in PCM Hammer, Universal Patcher and TunerPro but I haven’t used them yet. I plan on exploring that feature at some point but for now I use HP Tuners for big tasks and Universal Patcher for stuff like removing VATS.

Can I use this to on a carb LS application to control my timing?
