ECT Power Button

But with the DZ custom installed, you can only drive in "S" to enjoy the difference correct? the device does not work in "D" I watched the video in their website but did not see using the "D" the shifter??

 

Nevermind. Found it.

Says sold out anyway.

 

I have a write up for a DIY verison

 

How can I get your write up for the DIY version, please.....

 

Correct that the programmer works with the shifter in “S” and it kicks in automatically when you shift from “D” to “S”. If you want to use “S” to shift manually, you can cancel out the programmer by shifting up or down.

I was a little hesitant about that myself before purchasing. But now I shift into “S” right away. It becomes habit after about a week.

Motomatic ECT Always On Module for Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen

I just ordered one I will let you know.

 

I think my first dealer service is 10k miles. Yours was 5k miles?

 

yep every 5k for tire rotation, alignment check and what ever else they do then up to 25k. every 10k for oil, mine is up to 45k thrown in from dealer for oil changes.

 

So far I've put 2K miles on my '18 Off Road. When I first got the truck the transmission programming was a bit annoying, but now that its learned my driving habits it has improved quite a bit. Perfect? no, but it shifts a lot better than it did on day one.

 

It 'SHOULD' work.... the guy stole/copied everything from @mesojdm last ECT design and had it knocked off. He then sleazily started PMing everyone on Meso's sales thread. Competition is one thing, but that guy is a sleazeball in my book. I'll wait the 6 months or whatever to get one from the honest originator.

 

Yup. this^

 

If I would of known that I would of not ordered it.

 

you need to drive some more and it will learn your driving habits and the shifting will smooth out immensely.

 

I’m with you. Around 5k my 17 Taco started to drive much smoother. I was telling Jason yesterday when I was doing my CMC that my truck felt much smoother to drive. Maybe it was the cold weather but maybe I don’t have to drive with the ECT button anymore? Lol

 

Thanks for update, will wait too because I really didnt like how open that board was anyways. To anyone who bought it: would you like to be the first to review it on Amazon?
