    no as some people are having issues with flash manager, unsure why but I want to get that all sorted first.

    have you downloaded the tactrix drivers?
    try this:
    shut truck off.
    plug OBD into truck, run pcmflash
    turn truck fully ON, engine OFF
    do not press identify
    select the tune file
    press write > follow prompts
    should work

    Will give this a shot. And just to clarify, this is the third time flashing the truck from the same PC.

    I hit identify each time before I flashed the ECU and TCU, both said flash was successful. would hitting identify mess anything up?

    So far I can tell there is far more "usable" power. I can go up kanan road towards PCH in 4th gear holding 60MPH. Never before possible. Had to stay in 3rd. I run 285/70/17 Toyo MT's, a heavy tire, and I was finally able to use 6th gear when normally I'd cruise in 5th at 75-80mph. It doesn't pull as hard to redline as the previous tune, but, the usable power is nice for a change of pace.

    So far, if all this holds true, i might just skip the regear.

    Has anyone ran 87 and 91? Any noticeable difference?

    Yes, 91 pulls way harder and the power difference can be felt.

    I hate to be this guy, but what are the chances of the pre orders shipping before you go on vacation?

    Awesome thank you sir! I must have missed it. I have been trying to keep up with this thread but it is so hard. I preordered the day it became available and have been anxiously waiting since.

    An add on pack that had more PIDs to scan. One of them included trans position and torque converter lock up status.

    Haha no worries man I hope that his reply applies to your situation. Sounds like it does! I’ve been trying to stay current with the thread too and it does move real fast! Fortunate the last few days have been slow for me so I can enjoy the tune and stay updated here! Hope you get yours soon, you won’t be disappointed!! :burnrubber:

    My poor truck isn’t going to know what to do, getting the tube hopefully within a week and then getting my 4.88’s installed at the end of the month, I’m excited to see how they pair together.

    That’s an area I’m always in also. My kids live just outside Westchase. I blaze down Patterson almost everyday. Love the curves on it. My kit is arriving today. Lol
