    I pulled the the trigger for the tune today. Almost $800. I bought it mainly for the higher rev limiter and more power. Although I will appreciate the smoothness of the power too.

    I couldn't vote, because the original reason I purchased the tune was driveablity (and shifting is on me).

    The Toyota calibration for M/T trucks was not "updated" until almost 3yrs into the 3rd gen production run. I bought my truck in October of 2015, and IMO, the tune it came with (04B10) was a terrible mess.

    They didn't brick their ECU by flashing the tune, they did it by flashing the TSB, which is completely different and absolutely unnecessary with version 1.05.

    LOL dang this got crazy quick...never really figured out how they did just know they did, i remember when it happened it seemed like they were losing their minds ( with good reason) i'm not keen on computer programs, what does what, or even how to do most things with a computer,,, give me a carb and i got you, ask me to download a file to a computer and you might as well do it yourself because i'm pretty sure i'll somehow erase it or lose it forever...

    I see you have the M/T...you want this tune ;) I am not the brightest when it comes to computer stuff either but it is pretty straight forward if you can READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ;)

    All the things!
    I'm sure you weren't born knowing how to rebuild a carb. You learn by doing. Computers are no different. Just like a carb, you need to get over your fear of making a mistake. All mistakes are fixable, and you learn twice as much by making them.
