    I broke down and just put my order in for my '17 DBCB M/T Sport.

    Hoping my experience is as positive and so many others.

    This is exactly what you’ll get. From 0-3500 is much improved, which is where you spend most of your time in a truck. OVT has accomplished a lot in a few months and it’s only going to get better as time goes on.

    Just got the email that mine is out for delivery but still no actual tracking. Are these coming UPS or USPS to the lower 48?

    When did you place the order? I just placed mine today. Curious how long it takes from placement to shipping.

    I just felt the surg on my '18. Was going along at around 50mph in 6th gear and a very light throttle and my wife why I wasn't steady on the gas peddle.

    Anyone know if there is a way to check the OVTune website after an order is placed to keep an eye on the status? My confirmation email said I'd receive and email when it shipped, but I like to keep an eye on it through the website if possible.

    That's why you guys are awesome! Updating users directly in the forums. Can't wait to try it out on my truck.

    Happy Holidays.

    So the ov website now lists kits of 16-17 and 18+ separately. Did I miss any discussions about the differences between the ecu's?

    That's interesting.

    I just placed my order two days ago and it was still the old menu. I have a 2017 and selected 2016+ manual. It let me put the order through and didn't say anything about being out of stock or back ordered. Now when I select 2016/2017 manual from the new menu, it says out of stock.

    Sure hope I get the right thing and that my order was placed before stock ran out.

    Just a menu change, nothing to worry about.

    ECU is still the same in the 18, hardware wise. Have not seen the 18 MT calibration yet

    I hope I don't come off as inpatient, I'm honestly curious, is there work involved once the bin file is emailed out to get the tune file back?

    Hey Matt, just got my tune today for my '18 and sent off my info to get my license key so I can continue. I know your not back in the office until the 2nd but can you send out my key before the 4th. I leave on a long 3 day road trip on the 4th and would love to have the tune installed.

    Thanks

    The most work is just getting the application set up. Once you’ve read the file and set it off, it’s just a matter of clicking a few buttons and flashing the new file.

    The installation steps are listed on the website. It looks like you have to send a couple of things back and fourth through email so I think the process from receiving the shipment and having a tune installed and ready to drive takes a little while.
