Are the two compatible?

Is any one useing one cable, licenced for a truck/F-body?

I've got a 99 truck & a 99 F-body ... exploring my options!

Thanks ... Ron

You need the 3 vin version. The "cable" as I understand has a box that is encoded with 3 vin #'s so that it will only read those PCM's. I don't think it works like A-tap or HPPIII's. I could be wrong, because I don't have it yet. Bigtex and Reallyslow truck should know for sure.

I've got LS1-Edit; it is not the unlimited licenced version, but the $550 special. It will hold up to 4 licences @ $100 per extra licence.

My 99/00 F-Body LS1-Edit software will not read my 99 truck, let alone read or edit a truck flash file downloaded from the web. It will however compare data sections.

Since I allready have 99/00 hardware, can I get my hardware licenced for my truck for $100? Or am I looking at the Full Monty of 550 big ones?

I just thought I'de ask here, perhaps someone has allready been through this.

You'd have to license another pcm for your truck @ $100, then send your equipment to Ken @ Carputing to encode that info into your box. Then you could read and program. I can't read anything but 01-02 trucks, but can compare any 01-02 file.

I bought the '00/01 version and three vins. it will read all trucks and cars '00 and up. i just read bowtied's '02 and then modified it. so i guess the latest version works with '00 and up. so i read f-bodies an trucks.

hope that helps,

When I ordered mine, they wanted to know "for which vehicles/engines." My read/write program has that info in it. So, unless you told them you were reading a 00,01, and 02 then it shouldn't work. But I'm gonna email them and see.

I checked with my local chevy dealer: $62 to flash my PCM. ... The way I see it; $38 for a edit licence for my truck.

I'll have to e-mail Ken and confirm this.

Correction, it is a '01-02. but i do read 01-02 cars and trucks and modify them.

I just recieved an e-mail from Ken: 99 F-Body/99 Truck compatability is within the same cable.

From checking carputing's web site: the add on prices have changed; $150 for an aditional PCM (up to 3) plus $50 handling charges. ... a little more to justify than my original 38 bucks (American).

FWIW ... Ron
