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 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.

So,this bin has the DOD_activation changed in a couple spots in the readout,and this is where the small check marks,also.

Can anyone tell me why universal patcher can't open my bin file? It says something about can't find dtc code table! But PCM hammer says everything was written and read correctly

I’ve never had that problem before, what PCM are you working on? You could try join the Universal Patcher, the creators of the software are in that group so it’s a good place to get support for UP.

That's strange. I'll look into it. You can also see the PCM's and programming that I have to offer in the shop on my Facebook page, just search up Lowbuck LS on FB and make sure you go to the page, not the group. Click on the shop tab and you should see some products.

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!!!!!

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGHCe2l-gclph6csi=OIUniK5iISRAKDgO If you want to use the factory pcm to run a carburetor ls setup and you only need like 5 wires on your harness and delete /disable 3 dtc 102 122 and 200 and you will have to mess with the idel table at rpm thats about it you keep 5 or 6 wires on your harness

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?
