Efilive has crappy customer service. The only PC based software that has bidirectional controls to bleed ABS on a gm is Autoenginuity.

None at the moment
See if you can find a Snap-on Solus scanner on Ebay. Snap-on introduced a new scanner, the Solus-Pro, so there may be able to find a good deal on one. They are still able to be updated to current software levels, and Snap-on has really decent coverage on the new GMs, including the brake bleed function.
I work for them though, so my opinion is obviously biased.

Dan,

I just linked this in another thread and while viewing the page noticed they sell an optional extension for duramax like they do for powerstroke.

This product is basically like the VCDS for powerstroke so if they have a similar level of functionality for duramax it might be a good option.

Im glad to have learned of this other Windows based OBD system, might get pricey for me. I would need to get GM & Ford enhanced support options. Thank You dittoes here:)

Use a Tech2 with a Candi module. That's what I have and it works excellent.
