I haven't decided on a price for the adapters just yet, but it will definitely beat moated. I will be offering them shipped with or without eproms. Eproms can be burned with any program you provide, or is available for download.
The basic premise is pretty simple. You build an adapter which lets you use a larger eprom (say 4x larger than stock), connects all the data and address pins to stock, and connects the 2 extra address pins to some type of switch. Not super complicated, and I have a working prototype here, but I...
A newer $FD.xdf has been posted to the Dripspeed Diesel website, courtesy of rainstate. It is also reflected in the dripspeed.com/6.5 directory of files.
Thanks rainstate!
If anyone knows of a database I could scrape to get more complete application info for those BCCs, it would be terrific. Each has 1-5 RPO's listed in the detailed view, but there is no way it is a complete listing.
OBD-I Broadcast Code database is now online. I scraped information from a few sources, and combined it all into one database. I think its complete, and it might even be accurate. This is a list of every broadcast code (chip code, like BPAA) used for OBD-I 6.5s. Includes turbo and naturally...
Well guys, I have the repository up and running. You can register, log in and out, upload files, download files. Right now files you have flagged as private are basically inaccessible. You can't delete files you've uploaded, and you can't edit descriptions.
However you CAN upload files with a...
Rainstate, I've been throwing your definition files into the dripspeed.com 6.5 repository. http://www.dripspeed.com/6.5/ Trying to name them to something obvious so people know which one to get/use. $EC.xdf and $FD.xdf reflect the newest, and i'll try to keep that current as you update.
We all thank you, rainstate.
As a side note, I ran through a tank on my latest hokey chip. 11.1 MPG vs 10.1 on the old chip. Driving habits were much worse, as I've been doing 0-60 runs over and over. Good sign!
That multiple chip adapter will NOT work with 6.5 trucks. Its design for TBI computers, which use a 2732 chip. Our computers use a 27512 chip, 16x as large. I will work on a multi-tune chip to go with all of the other adapters I'm building, but for right now, its 1 chip at a time.
Well I ordered everything I need to setup business, hardware wise. I will be selling a few items. Chip carriers to allow the use of normal eproms in our PCMs, both with normal sockets, and with ZIF sockets. Male to male adapters, which allow the reading and overwriting of OEM chips in the blue...
Well I ordered PCBs to make adapters. Guess I'll be paying that vending fee soon. Setting up a small website to make things a little easier on anyone that wants one (and easier on me). Will be at least 3 weeks before I'm up and running, takes 2 just to make the PCBs, then I have to put the...
The BPAA on my site is bit for bit identical to the OEM chip in my truck. I double checked it before burning new chips :) I'm glad someone that knows what they are doing has joined in, I'm just a Guy that got Google to work.
I'm getting more serious with the chip adapters, eprom programming deal. Its a pretty serious thought now, I even have an excel spreadsheet for the wife to look at. Purse strings and all that :skep:
Mostly, I just wanted to do it, to do it. I can't leave any vehicle I own stock, and I always try to find the lowest cost way to achieve that. Burning my own chip seemed like a doable good start. I dabbled back when I dealt with TBI 4.3s, many years ago.
As far as the truck, its a 95 f-code...
