When tuning the Solstice the gauges should work. I would contact DDM with specific issues you might have especially if you are having issues tuning an LS3.

I think more information is needed here such as what engine and ECM are you using?  What year and model of car are you moding?  What gauges aren't working?

Please consider editing your post above and make it more readable. To be honest, it's really hard to try and figure out exactly what you are asking for. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here but it's hard to help if we can't understand what you are saying.
To be honest, I think you need someone else to handle the tuning.

I guess that's your call, but if your asking for help and we don't know all the details it makes helping almost impossible.

Hope you find a solution.

I had started researching the two halves of the ECM issues. But the post with details is gone. Can someone find that?

That's good to hear Dave. The post wasn't particularly clear as to what he was looking for. I gathered that he's installing a V8 and that they gauges aren't working but I wish he'd been a little more patient and had edited his post to clarify things.

Let's just hope he's successful in what he's trying to do.

thank you all for the help I am not savvy to posting and don't type well and don't spell well so I thought it best to forget it a special thanks to dave in SC. I guess youall don't realize I have had a v8 in this car four yrs and it dropped a valve so in the best interest of my car fund I thought it best to start over with a new ls3 525 hp engine from gandrude  performance chev warehouse in green bay. and hopefully get back to one ecu to work it all. I feel it is going along fine as we now have a program from ls2 edit guy to work with with.i am always lurking as I own many tuner cars .THANKS.
