    So. Many. Stickers.
    Ungrateful poorly engineered pieces of monkey sh!t. And Chrysler 100% do NOT care if their customers get killed because of death wobble.

    Excited to see people's responses to 2.0.

    I'm super ready for 2.0, but probably won't get to test since I'm taking it back apart soon.

    I swore off Chrysler / FCA stuff after owning a 1996 Dodge, but the Wrangler still gets a pass for me. That pitman arm steering is pretty crazy though.

    Hey... I finally figured it out, I just needed to select Setup -> VIM Select; then drop the "Interface setup" box to OpenPort.

    Thanks to everyone for the tips that got my blinker change working :thumbsup:



    I saw earlier today a PDF that someone posted and it explained all the available customizations. I can't find it for the life of me now o_O anyone know where that is? I was hoping to find something to change the sensitivity or delay for dimming the display when I pass under an overpass. I doubt there is a setting for it but I'll remain hopeful until I find otherwise.

    Wish I had found this info and tried the TS TSB update before I tried to convince my local dealer to take me up to 04B13. I couldn't get them to do it under warranty, and they had me on my heels so I paid something like $100 for them to install the TSB :(

    I tried the Tacomas manual and just felt disconnected. Glad you guys are getting some nice ovt improvement!

    After driving on the single throttle map for a couple of days, i have to agree with @tonered After it settled in, it is quite pleasant to drive

    Wait hold up... shortbeds are too small so you threw him in the cab.... which is smaller...

    Settled in? isnt the whole point of the single throttle map to eliminate this ridiculous learning feature?

    It still has to learn fuel trims.

    it doesn’t do the ridiculous switching between 100 different maps.

    The idea is that instead of a different map for different gears, or other scenarios, they are all the same.

    They all feel the same, except for the obvious gear ratio change thing that happens when you change gears.

    I even noticed the tugging feeling in 6th isn't there anymore.

    Rev hang is still there though, and that is the single most irritating thing about the truck in my opinion, above all other complaints. I sure hope he fixes it

    04b04 and 04b13 are usually the first test ECUs (2016-2017 AT & MT). Then once those are confirmed it gets rolled to more ecus shortly after.
