    Just flashed 1.05 87 FOB.... came from 04B13. Thank you OVTune. I was very surprised how quick it was to flash. Only one strange thing. On my initial test drive my rear diff lock indicator came on for a moment while going 30 mph in 3rd gear, then went off. That has never happened before. Might try the 2.0 beta later for fun after I get a benchmark with the 1.05.

    So far I feel pretty content with 1.05 87 FOB. (After 700 miles) No real concerns or issues, definitely a huge improvement over stock. I would go ahead and jump at 2.0 Beta but I'll wait till the final version is out.

    This tune really made me re-think what I would like to do with the truck long-term. Might as well keep it now right?

    No gaskets just 4 nuts bolts and washers. They look to be of very high quality. Beautiful welds

    Constant exercise in frustration!

    Why is everything different than the written instructions?

    I followed everything. I click on Identify and there was no version or calibration or nothing like that popped up. Where does it pop up?

    Also, be sure that you are picking the Tactrix OpenPort adapter in the interface drop down menu.

    OK. There was nothing in the drop down line at all, which makes sense since no drivers

    Agree 100%

    The ironic part is it's usually my fault for not reading.....the one time I actually read, I should have watched the video. :thumbsup: Oh well I need to put my nuts back in the honey's purse, she's home!!

    Sucks because I may not clear time until Friday AM. Can't be Wednesday.

    Also want to take time to thank local Tony. Super helpful, tons of knowledge, extra friendly. Offered to meet up and install. Huge thank you!!

    Anybody heard what @OVTune guy has been wearing lately?

    slightly less relevant post: I cleared the DTC and whatever else the shit was called recommended by handsome pants (@tonered maybe?) on here after pushing 87 base back into the truck, it’s never driven better and getting 21.5 mpg. I’m waiting for all you dirtbags with 2.0’s wieners to fall off before I put that beta into my finicky motor vehicle.

    Zoom, zoom! Or Go Places, or whatever the fuck Toyota is using to hook the kids these days.

    also, I still have my accumulator and am getting the clutch pedal creak notfixed by the stealership tomorrow. I don’t listen.
