    Didn't you say you were getting the best MPG on 1.02C-A? I am still on 1.02C-C and was running around 20mpg with lift but stock tires but I've noticed my last couple of tanks are lower. (winter gas?)

    I ran 1.02C-C 91 and managed over 20 mpg with an RTT and camper shell on the truck (lifted but stock tires) I have not seen a significant change in MPG in either direction. but have only ran 102.C-C and 1.01b.

    My MPG performance was better with A (which had the jerk and was too jumpy for me on takeoff), worse with C, and best with the first alpha release / stock

    I ordered 11/7 #2133 and haven’t received anything.. emailed and PMd but no word yet. I’ve got lots of other stuff to do to the truck so it’s all good I’m just curious/anxious too! Especially because I paid in full already.

    Ah...I just saw this in the other tune thread, I hadn’t “caught up” on my posts yet! Looks like they’ll be on the move this weekend!

    Wooo Hooo, have my tracking # :):cool::). Finished most of the prep work, had minor symptoms of CPS problems, changed it a couple of weeks ago, and maybe a hair's worth of change for the better, wasn't on any of the recall list though. Picked up a cheap Dell with win 10 home on it, probably going to drop it back to a win 7 pro so I can run a win xp virtual box that I know for sure will run techstream. Almost ready to concede that I can't get it to run on win 10 (being a 64 bit version) although still trying to find a solution, being lazy, don't want to have to reinstall everything. Looking forward to getting the tune installed, had the truck fall flat twice yesterday getting on it to get out in traffic, with traction control off, barely any tire spin.

    Have to disagree, 1st gear is too much in A, it's uncomfortable to drive with it. C is much nicer to drive day to day.

    I wouldn't recommend it, 1st gear is held uncomfortably long and will jerk when changing to 2nd

    I have to disagree with you, A is much better than C. The 1st gear harshness went away around 1K, I now have 3.5K on A. Mileage didn't change for me.

    I've never felt a harsh upshift from 1st to 2nd on 1.02 A just harsh downshift from 2nd to 1st
    And only a couple of times lately after a 1000 mi on tune.
    From a stop or rolling slow in 1st and giving a little throttle it seems a little abrupt so I have to really apply the pedal slowly. Smoothing that out a little would be nice...

    I drive a completely stock truck, and have to agree with Acemastr, 1st gear is too much in A.

    I wish there is a 4th option, stock gear shift 1-2, enchanced gear shift 2-6.

    After reading 29 pages...(exhausted to say the least)...Im leaning on going in on this tune. Having my 16 completely paid off, I've been on the fence about trading this turd in. Been to dealerships already and only getting avg trade-in value of 28.5k, can't justify trading it in and starting another small loan. If the damn Tundra would have better MPG from factory I'd be in one of those instantly.

    I read the update on the alpha post, is Dec 15th still the day OVTune will be available again?
