Ovtuned 1.04
Thinking the truck is “relearning”?
Maybe I’ll reflash

 

I sent him a PM but I do not have his email, can you share that with me?

 

i'm MT over here so not a great comparison to make, but i had fairly weak and somewhat inconsistent throttle response in the first 1/4 or so of pedal travel. it got less each release through 1.04 for me, and it was totally resolved in 1.05... but that's on my truck.

 

first post

 

I had this with 1.04 and (to a slightly lesser extent) 1.04r. At times it would soften but would eventually come back. Feels like a weird engagement of the TC or something. Likely will be fully addressed in 1.05.

 

Yes I run both the tune and the Meso always-on mod. The 1.04r itself is nice but the tune with the ECT takes it to another level. The mapping with ECT on is definitely more aggressive and keeps the motor in it's power band.

 

What’s this ECT always on mod?

 

so I just need another one of these hex files with the 1.04R_91 ? I wonder what would happen if I just re flash it now with this version . Will the TSB from Toyota be erased if I only flash the ECU ?

YOU NEED TO EMAIL OVTUNE! How many times do people need to tell you?

 

The keys needed to write the tune have changed and so it would be unable to write it. Its not worth testing the waters. Mat will respond to your email for 1.04R. Just wait

It’s drive line lash and it is excessive on these trucks.
Toyota’s tolerances have dropped over the years.

 

I especially like the bang in the ass end when it all comes together....

He will get back to you. May take a day or 2.

 

I don't think you deserve a tune.

 

Why wouldn't the tune simply account for such a boost and add whatever changes ECT PWR makes into the tune itself? Why can't the tuner simply eliminate the necessity of the ECT PWR button altogether?

That's where my confusion lies. If someone could provide a good reason for not adding the ECT PWR effects to the tune itself, I'd really feel better about all this stuff....

 

All ECT PWR does is hold gears in higher rpms so the truck spends more time where it makes the most power.

It can be done, mat has mentioned some changes to ect pwr in the upcoming release.

 

Gas milage.
