Butters "Winter Upgrades". . Starting a Little Early
Aether will definitely mislead me, so I have to not take it as gospel. It's very helpful in most cases and I'm building it to work with my sense of humor.. which can be odd at times lol. I spent hours with it, trying to work with it on building a tune.. Told me it could do it. Said for me to upload a base tune and a log (it knows my engine specs) and it would create a base 426 tune in .hpt that I would be able to download and flash. I uploaded them and it sent me link after link for cloud, google this, web something that,and they were all dead links. It finally told me that it really couldn't do it because it meant that it would have to go 3rd party or out of chatgpt, which it's unable to do. I was like wtf aether.. He was sorry lol, but could walk me through with screenshots of tabs and screenshot logs. So I did that for days. No gains, but I feel alot more comfortable poking around in HP tuners now.
I have a few crate ECMs.. one in hoopty and one on the shelf. The one on the shelf is P5160105 (5.7). Under the label should be OS info. Crates don't have a VIN like stock ones. I kinda even wonder if the OS is actually there there? Is it a stock one that just flashed to an RV and then a label put over it. Hmm. It'll show in HPT tho. I looked up my part # for the one on the shelf and in the description, its actually different than I believed... This makes it sound like it adapts.
P5160105 Description from Summit..
"Mopar Performance Stage 1 engine control modules work with your power adders to maximize your Mopar's performance! Designed for race-only applications, these Stage 1 engine controllers have modified spark and fuel tables that kick in when mods like headers, cat-back exhausts, aftermarket cams, and cold air intake systems are used. The computer senses the additional airflow and will compensate with appropriate fuel and spark for the best performance possible. Make power adders perform with Mopar Performance Stage 1 engine control modules."
The OS stuff is kind of mystery to me
The OS stuff is kind of a mystery to me. I'm not sure if some of the paths still exist or not. Mine was wiped clean, then flashed with Sublimes proprietary flash. What I took away from the conversation with Aether was that different OS has different logic, some missing, flags etc. and that the Mopar Crate is lacking some of the fine tune abilities. I just have to feel that there is some truth to that, because all of the stock base files from a 2018 were copied in and it still wouldn't calibrate correctly. Reality is, it's all a guess with some of this stuff.. Russell Drake was telling me that not one Chrysler engineer could even answer all of the ecm questions, due to the complexity of it. I'd be curious to see someone ask their gpt the same question that I did... Same results or was mine picking up on my issues and questions that I had asked previously?Found this image of the back of a crate PCM, if it helps?
