    Which version of TS did you download? I believe the one in @tonered is good all the way to 2020 trucks. Some of the others would only do up to 17

    You have to poke around, but the Customization page says Warnings:
    upload_2020-3-3_10-2-42.jpg


    Good stuff. I am not sure about the model year. You should be able to enter anything? 2TR is the 2.7l. 1GR is the V6.

    Sorry for the trouble.

    If you downloaded from the MT Update 1st Post, that version will only allow TSB updates for 2018+

    If you downloaded from @lapoltba or my signature, it will allow full access through 2020s.

    True, but if he got that far with V12, then might as well just use it for the TSB flash.

    Well boys I figured it out. I updated to 04A71 and then programmed 1.05 93 FOB. I was previously running this same tune but obviously 04A70. What kinds of benefits can I expect from this change now that it’s taken me all afternoon and made myself look like a fool

    Good work! It is fun learning new stuff, even if frustrating along the way. I was right there also when I did it.

    All kinds of good stuff. For me just going from 04B12 to 04B13 before having OVT, I got a slight power bump (could climb hills in 5th instead of 4th), much smoother, relaxed shifting, and a 0.5mpg bump.

    Enjoy!

    I have no idea. I don't know that any of the OG users have, just people that bought used kits.
