Without the box connected to the computer, click update module. It will say searching for module. Connect to the box within 10 secs. It will say module found, updating. Unhook the box when its through. Then you can hit Get Information, connect the box within 10 secs, and it will tell you what fileis uploaded.

Thats the process I use. If thats what you are doing and its not working, I dunno. You can download detailed instructions for updating on thier website I think.

Ok, I returned your PM but, for the love of pete......slow down for just a second. Take a deep breath, everything is going to be fine.

First and foremost, you did not get a bad module.

Second, when all else fails read the directions. The direction for updating the module are located at the top of EVERY update page. These are very useful. The first time you hook any/most usb devices to your computer you must first install the drivers for it. This is also true with the module.

Basically when this happened:
Some wizard app opens and tells me to instal a disk .....I down loaded a program off the site to my computer . A quadzilla box showed up . I clicked on the udate box .

You did not install the drivers.

Now, if the driver installation does not pop up automatically you need to do the following.

Open an update, any update will work.

Click on the Quadzilla logo

This will start the driver installation all over again.

Follow the steps in the instructions.

Be patient, sometimes it takes windows a whopping 10-15 seconds for it to pop up the window that asks you to search for the drivers. Click yes. Let the installation finish and follow the rest of the instructions. You will be good to go after that.


The main thing you have to do is be patient and not get ticked off when a window pops up on you. All of the above is covered step by step in the instructions. It should take about 2-3 minutes or less and you will be good to go.


Also, you need to keep in mind that you have a 6" lift and 37" tires. 65hp is not exactly going to make it to where you can melt them off the wheel. Yes there are much, much stronger tunes to download and that is what you should do but, keep your expectations real.

Myself along with many others will tell you this thing will be much stronger than a superchips programmer.

let us know when you get it updated.

I would use a 2000 series or one of the beta tunes for what you are wanting.

Does the high idle work on all trucks or just the automatic ? I downloaded the 2011 and its been idleing for like 5 minutes and nothings changed
 
#20 ·
I wanna say my XZT has to be in the off or timing position on the swithc for the high idle to work. Mine kicks in after 2 min with the 3000 tune.
 
#19 ·
It should work on sticks but mine is an auto so im not sure.
 
#24 ·
got my high idle to work . it has to be on the timming mode to work .
 
#25 ·
Unless it is in warm-up mode, the high idle will only work in the OFF position.
It's been long enough that I don't remember the switch settings, but whatever position you got the high idle to work on, would be the OFF position.
IIRC, middle is off, the side of the switch that has the notch in it is timing/fuel and the opposite side would be timing only. Like I said, it's been awhile though :confused013:

Again.......from Quads website
High Idle will only engage in the OFF setting once engine has reached 170 deg Coolant Temperature
 
#26 ·
Again the side with the notch is the power side middle is off . other side is timing . I can leave in the middle for 40 minutes already warmed up . High idle wont work . Once i switch it to timing AFTER ITS WARMED UP about 30 seconds later high idle kicks in . I did it like 10 times . So what they say is wrong .....Well on my truck it is atleast . Ill get the camera out if ya would like :buttkick::thumbsup:
 
#28 ·
When i put my switch on . on the side of the switch it shows on-off-on . SO WHERE THE KEY WAY IS OFF ??
 
#29 ·
I have the notch facing up . If i floor it in the middle and flip it up you can feel a diff in power . And thats towards the cut in the threads . So timming is in the middle and off is on the bottom ?
