    Straight to 04B14.

    It is nervy the first time. Mainly, just make sure your batteries are solid.

    There’s someone over there but I don’t remember who it is.

    going from 04b10 to 04b14 is going to feel like a brand new truck

    2016 MT. from 04b11 to 04b14. First drive impressions....

    VVT has been tamed. Its much smoother and cleaner feeling when it kicks in. I didn't mind the boost kick of vvt kicking in while smashing thru second gear, but it is much smoother now.

    Might have a little more low end.

    Overall the acceleration seems much cleaner throughout the entire range.

    I successfully update a vehicle from 04B11 to 04B14 with no issues.

    Small Pro Tip: If you update your Windows 10 laptop/device to the latest 2004 version, it does reset the ID code in TS. I am back up and running but a little issue there -

    Throttle response on the low range is much more controllable. Taking off from a stop with low rpm and crawling just got better.

    It's great to see the M/T ppl with early calibrations getting updated.
    I remember 04B10, but wish I couldn't lol

    You definitely should. It feels better to me. Just more of a joy to drive.

    Hey. I believe someone said one place to look is under the hood or you can check with a computer also. I could be wrong about under the hood, but I can check on my truck later. I have a 2019 now and think I remember seeing that there still isn't an update maybe???

    If it's under the hood it's on a sticker...if it's on a sticker a human put it there. I don't trust humans. Pull it with an ECU reader

    I never knew that, I popped my hood out of curiosity and it said something like OP 410 if I was looking in the right place.

    It was noticably better. Stock felt like 1.05 Base. The tune feels great on top of it.
