    I got that notification yesterday. I turned off my wifi and turned off my antivirus. Then I reflashed and was fine.

    I don't know. I got an unsuccessful LV Reset one when I had the engine running. I did read anything else other than the unsuccessful part.

    Yes it was. I wasn't flashing though just reading. The reset lv and dtc ( i think) said they were successful. It seemed to idle different when i i started it. I only drove it a few miles so I'll experiment more tomorrow.

    I'll find the updated vftuner and try that tomorrow. I'm sure I'm skipping something important. Any awesome features of the update? Do we have locked diff in 2 high yet? I need to do leave some fresh doughnuts in my work parking lot with all our rain we get everyday at 5 when I leave!

    A weird idle sounds like you got the LVs Reset.

    Agreed. I did a test yesterday and if your foot is into it while already on the hill it stays in gear. If you let of the pedal slightly just as you approach the incline, it will shift up if in 3rd or 4th already

    Alright, its finally my turn. Picked up a cheap windows laptop, working on getting everything installed.

    I've made it to registering my software, which it appears to have done successfully. But now the software won't open. When I attempt to open VF Tuner I get this error message. Any input?

    Wasn't able to figure out how to do that, but I tried opening the app again and got a security notification. I was able to manually override there. On to the next step!

    Google it.
    Also add .exe for pf5flash.
    You will have the issue to start it as well

    Rafael is making the files right now.




    New version of vF Tuner expected to release this weekend. Updates include
    1. even faster log rate through variable PID timing
    2. decimal point recording on logs
    3. Several new tables

    Minimum AFR to enter Open Loop
    Richest allowed AFR Target
    Minimum RPM to use AFR Target
    Minimum Coolant Temp to use AFR Target
    Byte Activation switch to disable Transient AFR Correction
    Minimum Throttle angle to enter open loop + Delay timer
    Minimum Throttle angle to enter open loop Without Delay timer
    Fuel Compensation by throttle angle
    Load Thresholds to enter Open Loop
    Close Loop Delay Timer
    Table Branching statement for AFR Transient Correction map 2 (normally disabled)
    Base Power AFR 1

    by the end of this year, vF tuner will be the absolute ultimate, most in depth tuning solution on this truck one could wish for.
