    Is your speedo corrected for the larger tires?

    :(

    I complain when my Trip Average fuel economy reads less than 16.

    No, but one of my first trips with everything completely broken in (gears w/100 miles + 4.88 tune w/100 miles) was 250 miles round trip. And my tank was running on fumes when I got gas. ODO said 250 but GPS distance was about 264, so it's only a ~5.6% difference. Not huge, but obviously some effect.

    Yea, I'm also running about 1000 lbs of gear. What's actually interesting is my fuel efficiency didn't change after I put the RTT back on top. So, at least it's nice to know the efficiency is consistent.

    Yikes, that's like max the Tacoma is supposed to carry. Have you looked at your axles over time? Tacoma axles are not known for being fantastic at load carrying

    I have not but I'm definitely aware of the added stress. Might look into a new Currie F9 at some point

    Thanks, it actually looks a lot different now than it does in my prof pic. Recently put on the C4 HC rear, and a new Leitner bed rack. Gonna go wheeling in Johnson Valley this weekend, hopefully will get some updated pics :D

    FYI....
    After my Dongle return, vFTune "free" order, and sending in my system ID for p5Flash . . .
    I just received my vF-Tuner key, but still no p5Flash key. So I'm halfway there.

    Hoping someone on here can help regarding the reset of the learning values. I have not used it at all when flashing the tunes and would like to now. I was never sure of the procedure.

    Do I flash the tune and upon successful completion hit the reset values buttons?

    I guess my main question is, those of you who do it regularly when flashing a new tune, what is your procedure?

    Thanks in advance, and your time is greatly appreciated!

    I normally successfully flash the tune, turn off the truck, press the power button 2x to get to ignition then reset the Lv & At.

    Same here. They are probably waiting for their vendor to catch up with the keys for p5f.

    I believe this is the preferred method to confirm the tune loaded and the truck starts before clearing learned values.
