    First attempt I was in 4 high in first gear, but after that in 4 low. The reason I was in 4 high was because I wanted to gain momentum, but it didn't work.

    So when you tune, the ETC still makes things better than tuned? I often wondered if something like the OV tune, or ShiftSense Pro would still benefit from ETC mode or get worse

    Ok so I did the tune today and here is my opinion. Tune definitely makes the truck drive a little better with 35's, but it is no substitute for 4.88 gears. It drives better than stock, but power is still lacklustre. So, it looks like I will have to install 4.88 gears IF I want better driveability from this truck

    Yes I did. It is better with ECT on, but doesn't have enough pull. In ECT mode it it seems like it will hold the gear for longer and engine revs higher. I was avoiding to do gears and hoping that tune will fix it, but I guess not.

    Edit: Man the more I drive this truck, more I wish they had v8 in it. Don' get me wrong my daily driver is Prius, but this truck is too big to be v6.

    I have 37’s, auto, 4.88’s, and the tune.

    It’s makes a good difference in power. Shifting still sucks. The tune definitely didn’t make as big of an improvement as the gears did.

    Mine has less than 3” and 37’s. :rofl:

    Just got my gears back from R.E.M. Coating so I'll be getting them installed soon. After the new OV tune update I've been pretty sarisfised with the droveability. I just hate the gas milage(99% of my driving is in town). Hoping the gears will give me a few more mpg back and a little more response off the line.

    Been driving the truck around since this morning and truck definitely feels better, especially with ECT. After I'm done this tank of 87 octane, I will be switching to 91. I did notice that MPG dropped to 12.7 lol...oh well cost of going 35's. I will be calling ECGS soon to see if they got these things in stock :fingerscrossed:
