Glad to hear it's accurate, also glad I don't need to wire up the sensor!

I'm still some time away from getting my truck, but was planning a 3.5L EB build in this enforced downtime, with 5 Star tunes (E50, 93) and SCT GTX device.

Thanks for your reply.

Message me your email. I'll send it.

No functional PID in non-flex vehicles unless activated though.

I just ordered the 93 performance and E30 tunes from 5*. I called and left a message to see if they could turn this feature on. Hopefully I get a call back with good news!

I have a 2015 3.5EB...

Could you describe to me how you did this? just in case 5* doesn't know (hopefully this is a slim chance)

Had 5 star turn on the PID on my tune revision. I got the data log configuration file from this link here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...VY1LXdieDkxT00

Hopefully that link works, the 402etha.dlx file is the one you will transfer to your sct tuner.

The % stayed where it was in that picture while parked, but varied while driving. It averaged around 11 or 12 %, with a quick spike up to 18 % one time, then settles back to 9.02% once parked again. This is after just a couple trips around the block out in the country.

I’m still waiting for my alcohol tester to compare the actual percentage.
