2016 OVTune Tacoma 3.5L Manual Transmission / Engine ECU Reflash

Ordered Friday morning and got a shipping notice Monday afternoon.

 

This. If not the Defender will see one of the DLL's as a bad actor and quarantine it. cannot remember which one...... runtime one.....

 

I got it figured out thanks for all your help!

 

What was the issue? (SO we can learn)

 

I don't really know what the issue was to be honest...I just kept trying different combinations till it worked.

 

My guess order of things. The first time cable and adapter it seems like as if the recognition is not instantaneous. But after that first time it is.

 

So I'm curious as to what everyone else's first impression was. I flashed 1.05 and it drives like a completely different truck. It feels like it has more power especially going up hills driving 50-60 mph. Does it really have more power or is it just the increased throttle response?

 

yes it has more power especially torque. before getting too excited spend a couple hundred miles on it and it will change a bit.

 

So does that mean it's going to tone down a bit after a while?

 

I think more like it becomes the new normal

 

What file did you flash?

Also, it's been my experience with every file that the throttle response softens up slightly (some delay creeps back in) after a few hundred miles.

 

Question: Can Toyota re-flash a tuned truck back to stock?

 

Yes. Just as you can.

 

Thanks

 

1.05 87 octane "base"

 

Try 87 FOB next.

You'll PROBABLY like that file better

 

Little orange box arrived yesterday, but silly me only submitted my registration info on Tuesday night so now I have the box and I'm waiting for @OVTune to get back with my reg info

 

1.05 87 and 91 FOB are both stuttering/jerky for me at low-RPM, full-throttle applications e.g. turning onto a side street with a short, but steep, hill and going up it in 2nd at 1500-2500 RPM.

Stock tune and the base tune both are fine and go up the hill quicker with no drama. Also, it's not a traction issue.

 

Im getting same stupid 2nd gear stumble, cold engine, after a turn at low rpm- 87FOB
I also agree, I don't think it's a traction control issue. But this only happens to me when the engine is cold. Maybe once or twice.

2.0FOB need now!!!!

 

On a warmed up motor, have you guys tried the DTC and LV Resets? My first try of 87 FOB was not the greatest. An improvement over stock, but I was happier with Base. Then, I loaded up 87 FOB again and did the Resets. It felt like a completely different tune, esp right off idle.

If you try the Resets, do a 6min idle afterward.



I like the Betas that I tried, but I am back on 87 FOB until 2.0 FOB drops.
