Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I have no other choice but VfTuner. I'm still not satisfied with shift points. It's either that or 2nd gen.

 

Data data data... you can't make bricks without clay... thank you.

 

Just a data point that most likely has little bearing. Some tend to flash on a warm engine, others not. I've gone both ways in the past, but for this flash it was on a stone cold engine that had not started in over a day. I then fired it up and started the learning process.

In Dog (or God for some) we trust, all others bring data...

 

2.0 Final test - 04B04 4.88's stock tires 87 octane. No issues. No cold start issues. No idle issues. No shifting issues. No acceleration issues. No issues. No whining. No Bitching. No "I know more than you do." Several hundred miles driven. @OVTune Thank You.

 

If YOUR truck has a problem with it... yes

 

I've had some more time and miles with the 91 octane 31-33 tune in traffic. Startup time is slightly extended like it's not firing as soon as it used to.
Also had a few instances where there was a drive train "buck" after transitioning from coasting/braking to accelerating. Speeds varied from 5-40 mph when it happened. Possibly torque converting locking/unlocking. not sure. Felt like someone tapped my back bumper.

 

Much better than 0944?

 

Nope, the opposite. Wish it was like the first or second 2.0 beta that had the aggressive tip in

 

the shift points aren’t the problem, it’s the terrible gear ratios that Toyota decided to put in the transmission. They are simply too wide. You can’t change that.

 

Just to be safe, for science, I just ordered a 24F X2 AGM battery. So if my startup issues are battery related, I’ll know soon.

 

The gear ratios are pretty bad but my truck still upshifts into overdrive gears too early. 5th gear at 35 MPH is still too low of speed in my opinion and I will change via VfTuner.

 

Glad to hear it! However, I was expecting omg more people to be raving how awesome the new tune is...
With enthusiasm.

 

What size tires - stock 30.5?

 

Yep. Truck is completely stock (Minus Ovtune of course) xD

 

Curious how testing the 31-33" version might be - just for testing and not a fix.

 

I could possibly give the 31-33" a try. If it did change shift points, I wouldn't expect much. Maybe a mph or two.

 

Same! But my battery just went out yesterday....sad!

 

I’ve asked a few times And searched but haven’t found The answer yet. Does anyone know if it was stated this $79 price for vFtune to current flash kit owners will stay this price for us or should we expect it to increase?

Dunno if this video will work or is needed but here's a good representation of the start.
