Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Its amazing how people don’t get banned anymore for off topic post

 

heres my vacation photos guys.... haha, joking.

 

Here's a slightly off topic question for @OVTune forgive me if it's been asked before . . .

I've heard rumors of "hacking" the rear diff lock on the 2nd gens so that it would function outside of 4lo. Reading through the forums it looks like it's tied into the ecu on the 3rd gen, but no practical hack as of yet.
Seeing as how Mat has been able to go deep enough to even change S mode, is the diff lock something else that could be altered from within the ecu??

 

When 1.05 is released to the general population, will those that are already running 1.04/1.04r need to request the 1.05 files or will we get them emailed to us en mass?

 

you’ll be able to download yourself using flash manager

 

This thread is a total free for all.

 

Mat said there would be a big information update tonight?

 

I dunno it's a long weekend, maybe he meant tomorrow?? Lol

 

Ovtune posted on saturday.

 

When did he say this? Oooo hope its turbos...

 

Likely a download link like last time

 

So in the new instructions it still states there is an ECU file and a TCU file to flash, all I ever received with 1.04 was a single 87 octane and a single 91 octane tune, not different tunes for ECU and TCU is this correct?

 

Good change up. First page is straight to the point.

 

There is different files for ecu and tcu, but if you ordered the dongleless version like I did then we did not receive a tcu file, just the ecu

 

First post has been updated.

 

What does highway and non-highway mean? Is 5th and 6th not going to engage until certain mphs?

 

I hope it means something like while in town it keeps from 5th and higher and while on highway it stays out of 4th and lower.

 

Me too, just not sure how it would know unless mph was in play. I don’t want my truck to be in 5th gear at 35mph anymore. I’m hoping him talking about good mph locked in fourth at 50 was a hint to holding gears better without S mode nor ect.

 

Anyone know which step rails @OVTune has on the test truck in the pictures on the first post?

 

Look like nfab, but others make same style too
