    Look up 'Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo'. If you have this, it is nothing serious and can be treated at home by exercising the Epley Maneuvers.

    Hope you feel better.......................... Frank

    When done correctly and it works the epley maneuver is one crazy feeling. Absolutely made me feel like I fell off a cliff for a second but I felt so much better.

    Just Tuned my truck with 04A61 Premium stock, and reset all the things. Even A quick drive revealed how well this truck Performs now. It actually downshifts nicely, and I can properly accelerate while turning a corner. No clunky downshift driveline ruckus while slowing down either. I’ll report back after 1000ish KM. For Canadians the tune is almost $1200, and it’s the best $1200 I’ve spent, and the most fun I’ve had with a computer in a while.

    Get well soon Mat! I experienced bad vertigo earlier this year and ended up being taken to the ER because it wouldn't stop spinning. I really recommend using a Neti Pot to clean and clear out your ears and sinuses. I also realized that I had been drinking too much...
    Anyway, the 04B14 test beta is awesome - the Rev hang is more suppressed and revs drop a lot quicker. Thanks for all of your sacrifice to make something awesome for the Tacoma community, but take care of yourself and your family first.

    I never should have tried the premium fuel tune... now I need to buy premium fuel for the life of the truck because there’s no way I’m going back.

    so why keep the dongle then? If you can trade it in and get vf for free, why keep it? So you can flash back to old files?

    Same here, I guess we both have rocks in our heads.. well, tiny rocks in our inner ears!
    Once I got them moved around by using that maneuver, all was, and is still, well.

    Correct. Some people don’t wanna lose the ability to flash old files

    I’ve updated my ECU twice now, so none of the old files were any good anyway.

    GMail spam filtering used to be among the best but anymore it’s got serious issues. I constantly have things missed or things flagged that shouldn’t be. I never used to check the spam folder but now it’s a regular occurrence..

    It was good at one point, but it was only a short time for me. Maybe 6mo with no spam in my inbox and no errors? For the past couple years, it has been similar to you. I check the spam folder daily before emptying it.

    It has gotten so bad that I did get phished for the first time ever. It let a bad link through from a trusted contact and I didn't look at the link address before clicking. Thankfully, it was benign.
