Reply to "PS3 Diesel Upgrade Kit of P5a 5 volt style"

Well it's done, except for tucking in all the wires.  I loaded the PS3 sound file and chain file for the Premier GG1.  Discovered I was not getting any sound because one of the speaker wires broke loose, I soldered it back on and then lots of sound.  It took me 1.5 hrs to load the software and get the engine responding properly.  30 min to load the sound file, about 15 for the chain file but that all went smoothly. (I am using V5.0 on the TIU) The DCS found the engine instantly but it took me several tries, factory resets, restarts etc before I had it all working together.  I would get Engine not on Track, I would delete the engine and it would stay on the remote.  So I finally deleted all the engines in the remote then shut it all down and left it for 10 min and then restarted the TIU & engine and it was fine.  Even the marker lights are now on, all 4 of them all the time, forward or backward.  Both couplers work, all lights work etc.  

I don't see how anyone does this for a paying customer and manages to do it quick enough to actually make some money!!  I guess after you have done 10-15 you get pretty good at it.  I have only done about 5 so far.  

I loaded the sound files to see how it affected some of the issues I was having.  Did not discover the speaker wire off(covered by a baffle) till after the sound files were loaded.  Fortunately nothing shorted out!  

As I said, I still have to neaten everything up but I want to thank everyone for the help and information.  Also, if anyone else does a Pennsy P5a maybe I can help with some tips.
