Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I would like to keep ECT as ECT.

 

What if ECT was ECT+Perf+future goodness OVT is working on for us? How bout then....

 

I feel like I just woke up on Christmas morning and there wasn't shit under the tree.

 

Yes but who know when or if that will be. I just ordered the Shift Sense Pro, even with ECT+Performance it still shifts up too soon, and I drive like a grandpa. Wait I am a grandpa.

 

I'm happy with whatever comes out of this. I think we are in store for a significant tune upgrade that will change everything (again).

 

I think when I get back from Florida, I will give the base 91 a try. I figured with my lift and tires, performance would be the right one, but it won't hurt to try. The tip in doesn't bother me like I said, unless in stop and go situation with ect on. Eratic shifting is the issue unless cruising. I am sure these issues will get worked out. Mat has definitely earned my confidence and I look forward to the future with my favorite ride now!

 

Orders with pending tracking numbers, your orders tracking will update today. The cables did not arrive to us until friday afternoon.

For orders that are pending waiting on tracking numbers, more cables are arriving this week, with an expectation to be shipped by friday or sooner.

Stutter fix update (flash manager) is *slightly* delayed as we are releasing a new version of the flash utility at the same time, which is nearly complete.

pending reg keys should be emailed today

 

Yet again he makes promises for arbitrary dates and doesn’t deliver but when I call him out on it, the forum members attack me.

Just proving a point... so many people are blind fan boys of Mat. Just look at my previous posts and see how many people jumped on top of me including the tuner himself! Oh well..

I’m not demanding he release something at a certain time or date by any means just don’t say you’re going to do something then don’t follow through!

 

You already have the file. You're here to continually complain about something you already have?

I have no control over a 3rd party developer that was suppose to send something to us but did not. Nor do I see a "promise." The date was expected release. I expect to have it today, and then we can release the update to everyone.

And yes if you blatantly lie or post misleading info on the forum I will say something. Like the totally misleading post about us "gone silent" about the fuel reimbursement. Double check your own messages to us.

 

Thanks for the update Mat. I appreciate the many hours of work you put into keeping this community informed, even at the expense of some taking that as gospel and feeling compelled to constantly attack when their immediate wants are not satisfied.

 

Like any good developer, the more you learn in one effort the more you can apply to another

 

Part of our program is controlled by a 3rd party dev.
The Flash utility update we were expecting to release at the same time had a RAM dump option (which is what is making "new features" possible) and a clear TCU Learn value option.
However, it has not been sent to us yet.
I waited until the last minutes of Sunday, but did not receive it, and I know if I had posted here last night it wasn't going to be released there would be some backlash so I was hoping to wake up to it.
Not here yet, but I'm nagging him about it.
- same reason some reg keys are delayed

 

You're not going to like my advice, but please get a beer and relax. I've been on this Earth for over 50 years and traveled to just as many countries. I've been lied to millions of times. After a career in the US military spanning 30 years, I was lied to (by my own government) so much I became an expert at decoding their outright bullshit. When I made rank and had to advise my younger troops about something that effected their lives, I did so with caution. Example: In the middle of a shithole in Afghanistan we were running out of food and ammo. I was told that resupply would occur by the end of that week.

The helicopter that was bringing us our food/ammo was shot down due to enemy fire and our subsequent resupply was delayed. Did I LIE to my troops? I told them that essential food and ammo would arrive by the end of the week. Was it an arbitrary date? Due to extenuating circumstances we had to wait yet another week for another rotary wing to be scheduled. Did it arrive? Yes. In my humble experience we all make decisions based on the information we have at any moment, and on what we individually CONTROL. I could not tell my troops that the food/ammo would DEFINITELY be delivered on time, because I was personally NOT flying the CH-47, NOT working in the G-3 Air (where they schedule flights) shop at Bagram, and NOT in charge of the deployed maintenance shop. I sincerely was not in charge of the Taliban.

I'm not a fan boy of Mat and OVtune, merely an old guy that appreciates his ability to attack a problem and provide a great product. Been following this thread since the birth of the concept. I ask that you look at the overall way that OVtune handles product development and manufacturing. IMO Mat keeps TW updated quite well and is very responsive to his customer base. I'm very familiar with research, test and development. I deal with companies like Boeing, L3, Northrup, Lockheed etc. These companies have thousands of engineers on their payroll and mature logistics sections to handle design, manufacturing, and parts replacement etc. That's why I am impressed with OVtune's efforts.

If you're fed-up with a lack of specific timelines and actions, then your best option is to seek a refund and NOT read this thread. Life is too short to not be happy.

 

Thanks for the update, Mat.

If we knew who the 3rd party was we could nag him for you, LOL.

 

Keep up the good hard work
Some people never learned the art of patience as a kid I guess. Would they rather you rush and send something out that’s not 100% or patiently wait and get the right product. To all the impatient people out there I’ll say it again it could be worse
You could still be on the stock tune !

Or mat could be a ford guy....

 

This guys got it

 

This guy gets it

 

Well haven't been on here in a minute. Truck still runs great. With the 33s and 4.30s I'm averaging 18-19 mpg around the valley. Its awesome your still doing more for it. Appreciate the updates.

 

Excellent reference
