    that's what it did for me the first time... took a drive and didn't notice any difference, so I re-loaded it.. took about 2 min... and definite difference... if the throttle input isn't noticeable then the tune didn't load

    Was your traction control off? Also, do you mean 22mpg on the interstate?

    ECU flash take about 4 minutes
    TCU flush is much shorter, maybe about 1-1/2 min

    My bad that was miles driven.. My wife's a teacher I should know to proof read but my southern slang confuses folks at times. Yeah I was turning right and had them talking with traction on and didn't hear that awful groan. I tried punching everywhere from stops, interstate speeds, you name it I was trying to race it. Felt like a new truck ( like when I bought wife's exploader the difference from base v6 to the sport 3.5 ecoboost was like Cutler to T Brady. Went and found some non ethanol 93 for 3.19 gal and saw almost 20 mpg driving hard home. Never saw over 16 pre tune and running 65+ at 1900 rpm holding gear is superb. I guess it's time to invest in a stage 2 or 3 now because after tonight she ain't going nowhere and in 4 my son will get a high milage taco for his sweet 16th. Let me get her off road tomorrow and I'll get a full review on that one page dude set up. ( Note : something I'm gonna watch tomorrow is 2nd to 3rd shift rpm dropped a little than expected and reverse is a little touchy. Thanks Matt @OVTune for your time and tune and maybe that activation code text you sent me is for the winner of the TT supercharger test vehicle for the east coast!!!!

    I tried to reflash both and now neither the tranny or the ecu will load!!! I click yes on the checksums then ok on the battery voltage and it starts doing its thing and the window just disappears or it says ecu reprogramming failed

    Did you identify and are u 04B03? Heck maybe try and flash back to stock and see if you tell difference. Then I'd delete Toyota flash and reload it all back up and try. I'm definitely not your IT man but you'll get done.

    make sure the truck is ON but not accessory and engine is off or you'll get the failed error (ask me how I know)

    also, my truck is on stock tires, and I can't squeal the tires unless I'm turning and floor it. from a stop, going straight, it's just a straight launch (haven't tried without traction control) which is fine, don't want to squeal the tires anyways. the launch will throw you back though.

    I take my last post back about not being happy with the power, the ecu did not flash but the tranny did so the truck felt odd but redid it with the help of @OVTune and I’m very happy with the way the truck feels now
