Hello to all,
First I wanna say how much I appreciate finding this site. Reading through previous posts, it is so nice to see all the help and support everybody offers, even when you disagree with each other, everyone is civil and respects each others opinions. I have been on some other forums where that is not the case. Second, I am a diesel mechanic, but I have worked in the agricultural market since I got out of school and there just wasn't the electronics on the engines back then like there is now so I never got much training on that aspect. I have always wanted to learn more about computer programing and tuning in vehicle applications and was wondering if anyone could recommend some reading material on the subject, I intend to purchase the Minotaur software at some point but want a deeper understanding of it before I do. (right now i know just enough to make me dangerous ![]()

Well, I haven't looked through the manual in a while, but it covers mostly how to operate the software, burner, chip. There are some specifics, but mostly a simplified explaination of how the PCM calculates load and a few other things. You'll get the basic tunes so you have some idea of what's been done. HEUI is something you'll definitely want to read up on though. The greatest assest for reference is this forum right here. There are 7 pages of threads to read through with quite a bit of information.
