2016 OVTune Tacoma 3.5L Manual Transmission / Engine ECU Reflash

I do not think that it could be any better. There has not been one time where I was caught out, and there have been plenty of times where the perfect response has surprised me.

 

wtf how big is this dog? Must be a damn grizzly bear

 

This is wildly incorrect lol I have a short bed and my 115lb GSD and 80lb husky/St Bernard mix do just fine back there

 

Only you and one other person has responded to how the response is.

Has nobody else tested??

 

Thanks for all of your work on this testing/providing feedback etc.

 

Sorry! I enjoy to test.

 

Thanks!

@OVTune has done a killer job of digging deep in the code to help us out.

 

Don't have the file or I would test.

 

No 04b13 PCM file...

 

I can test a 04B13 dongle file once I'm off work this afternoon

 

Haven’t had time but @tonered is on point most of the time.

 

Hi everyone. I just joined the forum.

I have a 2018 TRD Off Road MT with about 25k miles, that I just flashed with the 1.05 base 87 tune. WOW!

I was ready to sell the truck I was so pissed with the throttle response and all the other typical issues of the stock factory tune.

OVTune has made this a new truck! It will be fun to experiment with the other tunes...I am really happy I made the investment!

As a newbie to all this I have a couple questions I have not found the answers to yet.

1. My truck has the 04A70 ECU. What would I gain by getting the 04A71 ECU?
2. In the ToyFlash utility (1.2.2) what is "Reset LV" and "Reset AT?"

Thanks!

 

Thanks, @RedBeard1 ! Much appreciated.

@OVTune said:

A lot of folks say that 04A71 is big change on their 2018s. Although, a few said that it was a minor to no difference. I think there was only one or two folks who did the TSB tunes and said life was worse.



The Resets remove all stored values from the ECU and allow you to get a pure setup after a flash. The first time that I used them, there was a very big difference in the way the tunes worked. All positive in my experience. Since, nothing to really discern, but still great performance.

 

Feels good, not sure how it could be improved more.

 

That's what she said

 

Honestly, most interested in your exhaust setup. I've been looking at the dirty deeds kit, but frankly, I feel like I could do most of the re-route work with the help of a local shop for half the price. Tube diameter and component combinations are really the only X factor and it sounds like you've tried a few combinations. If you dont wanna share the secret sauce, I understand. But if you do . . .

 

Feedback sent. Pretty much on point with what @tonered has said. It made a huge difference in drivability in my truck. 2nd gear is also way better in the <2000 rpm range.

and I haven’t had any jerky 1-2 shifts... so that’s a win.

 

Freaky good, huh?

 

I think the most shocking thing is how much that one change, totally changes everything

can’t wait to have this plus the rest of the goodies

 

Completely surprising here also. It now feels the way it should, but even better than I could have expected.


I'm prepared to have my mind blown with the full version.
