    View my complaints and suggestions for improvement. But it's well worth the money. Lots of area of improvement, but wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

    Heads up for those running Windows 10

    Win 10 has auto updates for Windows Defender that recently went out.
    When my computer received them it screwed my settings for defender up and I had to reconfigure everything
    Before I caught what happend it quarantined my techstream app and did the same for PCM Flash which wouldn’t allow me to flash my truck earlier today.

    If the updates start you’ll need to let them finish and then restart your computer. Once restarted before you launch anything make sure you reconfigure your defender settings to all off.
    Like others have noted you can add programs and files to the exception list which I had done. Not sure why this happend but it is what it is.

    You might want to tweak that a little.

    Any automatic 1.04 testers care to give preliminary feedback?

    Disable defender with GPO.

    People would have a lot less issues if they used a dedicated flashing machine with all that shit disabled. You don’t need anything fancy to run the tuning software. Mines been golden since day 1 :thumbsup:

    I’m running bootcamp on my Mac. The only thing I use on the Windows side is the flash software and the techstream software.
    Everything on Win Defender was disabled until Microsoft pulled a fast one with an update and renabled everything causing several things to be quarantined along with a few other issues.
    With that in mind I’m simply putting this out as a reminder for those who have a harder time with computers.

    Gave my feedback to Mat as requested. Agree with @ThatOneTaco though.

    pump in that premium and await the goodness! :D

    I'm looking forward to trying it as well, 1.03c on premium has been great, absolutely no
    issues so I'm not even sure I'll see much change but going to try it anyway.

    I'm on the the second tank of premium just about on the 87 tune. Once the new 91 tune drops I'm flashing asap :D

    I also want to start logging just to be sure

    Based off my calculations and his release date history. We should expect a 3 weeks delay from the original release date! :rofl:And if coffe is involved....game over budy it could be a 1month wait :eek: joking lol....

    @OVTune super excited about the updates forthcoming. The product has been incredible thus far, and yes there are some final quirks to work out but I know you are very close. I’m also encouraged by the fact you are acknowledging there is a lot of variability amongst these trucks and thus getting it truly dialed in will require logging and fine tuning.

    You’ve been incredible to work with and have produced an ever evolving product that makes driving this truck anything but frustrating.

    Tip in, 3-4/4-5 shifting and a bit of smoothing which it sounds like is in 1.04 is all I see standing between this being perfect.

    Those with hesitations I’d say the stock tune rates a 3/10 and right now the tune for me is 9/10 and it will soon be at the top!

    I’d love to have tested... but I’m back in Nashville on daddy duty on a stormy Saturday so I wouldn’t be much help today. Lookin forward to the DROP!

    I will say, it’s raining buckets here today and when I went to pull up my driveway the traction control kicked in and on stock I just punch it a bit and it’ll smoothly climb on up my hill... I chirped my tires. Sometimes I love the ability to chirp my tires but I have found that it’s hard to modulate especially on a greater than 90 degree sharp turn or climbing a steep hill from a stop. I’m guessing this will not be an issue by tomorrow though
