Recommended diagnostic software/data loggers for laptops

crazyrunner33 · 10-09-2009, 09:54 PM

Anyone have any recommended software for data logging that works on our trucks? I'm use to running software like Vag-Com on VW diesels with a VP37 that would show the values from the MAP sensor, timing, speed, RPM, and every other value from the other sensors and was wondering if there's anything like that avalible that would work for our trucks.

Never mind, I found some really evil tuning stuff and instructions.

I'm going to blow up my engine aren't I?

I'm taking my time to research this before using it, it's not like vag-com, it's software that the WRX people use for tuning, here's a how to someone started for a Cummins. I'm still looking for something that can give raw data on the go like vag-com but I'm not sure if the values would be correct since the fueling box fools the computer.

They'd probably be better at sled pulling since they can get passed 4000 rpm without missing.

rocket chip custom tuning. Computer is from germany with different chips inside and loaded with a stage 3 euro tune. It allows full fueling up to 5200
