0 is boost fooling

1 is timing only

2 is timing & CAN fueling (About 65HP)

3 and above add wire tap fueling

I think advertizing on Edge & Quad both have a low setting for MPGs, but many have found that higher levels yield better if the throttle is judiciously used.

So I may not need that brick on the floor board :thumbsup:

I noticed a large bump is MPG when I went from dding at lvl 1/2 to lvl 10. 

 

I averaged 2 mpg better on a long trip on 10 vs 2.  but you have to drive nice otherwise those numbers go out the window. 

[mulcher812]

That's the same with the Edge Comp. Running on 5x5 is better MPG'S than 3x5

Can you do any custom tuning?  or does it revert back to 0 when you try and save?  

 

I tried doing custom tuning... It let me change the settings but when I hit the "enter" button (bottom button) it went to the prior window and everything was at "0" still.  It wouldnt take any custom settings.

All my "gauges" work though....  Although, the water temp goes to ZERO when it gets above like 202*

I thought I fixed that with the update.... its been so long though, i dont remember.

I bought the parts you linked to and listed. I figured I could just replace them as caution. They don't test out right on a meter. Also don't test out like the new ones. However. The OEM ones and ones you list have a different number on the face of the chip. Are they still the same?

AFAIK, there are 6 different boards. If yours is not the same version, it may have different part numbers. Get the numbers off of your parts & order them.

You can try to reload the pv1 update from a windows xp 32 bit machine, that MAY fix the issue.  What you are seeing is a corrupt or damaged firmware on the pv1 itself.  I have fixed 2 pv1s with this issue, 2 tohers I could not bring back.  They work as gauges fine, but they don't send communications back to the adr box itself, only recieve. 

 

Things like turbo timer won't work either.

That is exactly what is happening...  Im going to have to reread the tune load info on this forum.  I do NOT have any XP machines anymore except a desktop.  If i remember correctly, doesn't the PV1 need to be plugged into the truck to update it?  So a desktop does no good.

[Me78569]

The pv1 can be updated without being plugged into the adr box.

 

The 2 I did fix with this issue I did in my office. 

[LSxPoweredSorento]

Not sure if this will work... I uploaded the tunes I have saved.  I was instructed by the Quadzilla support guys to run the COMP tune with my injector upgrades and such.  Some of these tunes fuel hard!  They are all the OEM ones off the old Quad site.  Not sure how available they are but I figured I would share them.

The 3k tunes blew may have lead to my head gasket failure.... However its studded and rung now so...

Aaaaaand my sharty xp computer freezes at the driver file download thing...  I am downloading the .NET framework crap hoping that will fix it.. if not... Ill be lost.

[Me78569]

yea you need net framework. 

 

We have all the quadzila 2nd gen stuff saved on a website that can be found in the first post of this thread. 

[LSxPoweredSorento]

I looked for the Pulse updates on there but only the ADR tunes were on there.

I tried the .N.NET stuff. Didn't help. My xp computer hates me. Couldn't get it to finish loading the driver files. Sits there moving papers from one folder to another. Lame. Dunno Wtf to do.

[Me78569]

the pv1 updates are in the full zip.

 

Is the pv1 plugged in at the point that it freezes? 

 

Restart and try again I suppose

[LSxPoweredSorento]

Oh. Damn. I wish I knew that lol. I saw the link on this post then a few other forums. Although they had your old link address.

I scoured the download site but those wweren't on there. No idea they would be under full download ink.

Thanks!

As for loading... I followed the instructions to a T. Per the instructions it seems like you aare supposed to get the driver install request before plugging the commander in. I don't get that until I plug it in. When I do I recognises a "Van Akken Commander" and I follow driver install. The loading status bar completes but it sits with the bar 100% filled and hangs. Then I can't do ANYTHING on the computer. It may just be the old crap computer too. Not sure. I can successfully upload different tunes to te ADR module with my 8 core windows 7 laptop. However I can't even get a driver request from the Commander like I do on the xp machine.

[LSxPoweredSorento]

Any idea on what this Van Akken guy has to do with the ADR?? I see online Van Akken has their own tuners. They even advertise" diesel tuners. However they have NO tuner listed for my truck.
