    04b04 premium 33 stock gear thx ... shifting is okay but still searches for gears on the highway into work. Gas mileage is .4 better so 12.4 (getting crap after lift and mt tires) At about 400 might try the non thx version.

    Just one off Amazon with good reviews and an included filter. Just get real fuel hose. By the way this was my first (longer) trip with the catch can...best mpg so far coincidence? Maybe.

    I emptied the can today and it had about a teaspoon of watery oil come out

    Better hose:

    I have about 600 miles with the new tune, 04B04 Premium stock and its been a dream. It shifts well, has a good amount of power with off the line go and no down shifts or double downshifts on hills. I think this will be my final flash. This is so much better than the same tune with THX for 04B04 which bogged hard in first gear when trying to accelerate.

    Did my first Tow on the 5.29 33” Premium Non THX. I’m running 285 E loads with full size spare. Prolly about 250lbs added weight total. Trailer weighs about 3800lbs. Travelled 176 miles and averaged 10.6mpg corrected. Loving the tune and how it performs. Towed the trailer very well. My mpg sucks but oh well. Got another much longer trip planned towing the trailer this holiday weekend up some decent grades so it’ll be a really good test.

    Don't swap until final and or don't swap at all..its all optional to swap. If ur happy with ur tune keep it and thats it. Don't have to take any future tunes

    I love it when I log in for the day and see I only have 12 posts to catch up on. This thread has become such a chore to follow.

    P.S I usually only read this thread when I take my morning dump. It’s fitting due to most of its content. Some days my legs fall asleep.

    There, now I feel better. Sorry for the TMI.

    I always found the adaptive cc would drop me in gears in order to stay behind the car in front and maintain speed, it is so weird, I never use it, I really don't like the way it behaves. It was the same in the RAV and the Corolla, maybe I'm using it wrong, idk, makes no matter, just never use it.

    i dont care for the deceleration when gaining on a car 2 football fields away, i would rather it give me the option to move to another lane before slowing down

    you guys can turn the adaptive cruise off by, holding the power button to turn the cruise on, until the radar feature turns off... gives you "normal cruise control". hold the button, watch the green cruise light switch from radar to normal. viola, no adaptive cruise. or, if you like adaptive cruise, and it is too sensitive, you can go into your settings, and lower the sensitivity level, so it doesnt activate so far away from another slower auto.

    I really enjoy it on my long, very early morning drives to/from central CA to Tuscon on Interstate 10. I settle in behind one of the many Fed-Ex semi trucks, enable ACC, increase sensitivity to increase following distance and relax. It helps with mileage, especially if there's a headwind. The semi truck 'runs blocker' for me.

    I do this in hilly regions. Semis always slow down a bit which keeps me from downshifting and all that. This is in Oklahoma though so I imagine anything hillier would be too slow.

    I was getting 18 MPG on average when I first loaded the latest 2.0 file with stock diameter wheels, but after the 500 mile break-in I averaged 21-23 MPG yesterday, which really surprised me. It was mostly highway miles at 75-80 MPH using the THX premium stock tune.

    You get to go efficiently, smoothly, and swiftly. You can get to fast stock....it's just not enjoyable shifting from 5th to 2nd to get there.

    Nah, you need to wait a week or 2 to get your keys, then hope your pc doesn't update between when you sent your system ID and you actually receive the keys, because if the system ID changes you're waiting a half week or longer to get another set of keys.
