    i have hills like that too. noticed it more with 1.04 vs stock tune.

    TSB update seems to have fixed it completely. my guess mat can take it even further with 1.05 and lock down improved shift logic.

    cruise control still sucks though. to me, it's always been to aggressive to down shift to 4th.

    It seems like CC wants to hold the speed EXACTLY at speed . There should be a parameter to set it in the tune to let it vary up or down a couple mph going up and down hills etc.. I do not know if there is one but there should be .

    Thanks for the follow up with me, I've already emailed you, with my paypal transaction instead of order number. I certainly wasn't trying to pester you. Delays happen, thanks for staying in communication even about something totally outside your control.

    Why? That’s not what CC is designed to do.

    I equate it to the CC being a new driver who only knows how to floor it or have 0 throttle at all... trying to hold a speed on an incline up a hill has caused it to go all the way down to 3rd on occasion. The same hill with my foot would likely stay in 5th or shift to 4th on those steeper ones. CC is just too aggressive to downshift to 4th and 3rd.

    Yes, and I am pretty sure you don't need Techstream in order to install the TSB update from Toyota. The CUW file launches into a program which contains the tune file. I will be trying this afternoon...

    Are y'all doing the tsb yourselves or taking it to a dealer? Dealers in my area refuse to do the tsb claiming it doesn't exist for my vin (a lie) or telling me they wont do it because its a salvage title. If you're doing it yourself, please send me a pm so I can pick your brain regarding how to.

    Welcome to socialist Canada. Where healthcare costs less per month than insurance on a 92 Geo Metro, the government will make 40-52% of a vehicles initial sales price in sales taxes over the course of its life, you pay 10-14% tax on almost everything you buy, and your monthly gas bill for your average truck will run you as much as your monthly grocery bill for a family of four.

    But at least there's no California DMV. :D

    I did the flash myself using only my laptop, tactrix OBDII to USB cable, and the CUW file for the update. Took less than 8 mins...

    Letting it idle for a while and I'll be going for a spin.

    And now your calibration id changed? Is it just as easy to get back to the previous calibration if you had those CUW files?
