    Thanks Shellshock. I had to up Base Duty to 96 to get me over 14.6. Now I'm humming along.

    I've tried to figure this out, I'm pretty good at figuring things out. But what the hell do all the numbers mean

    Speed, torque etc, they aren't in mph, rpm, or lbft from what i can tell.

    Can someone explain this madness.

    fellas. is there a reason why i would want to mess with voltage for the alternator? like does running a preimum tune cause it to drain an agm battery quicker or something?

    We r messing with it because we have AGM batteries which require a higher charging voltage than a standard battery

    gotcha. i have a dry cell optima in my sequoia. stock everything else. would that mean eventually the battery will just run itself out? my taco has a regular battery that came with the truck. the reason why i ask is cause the sequoias battery just up and died few months after i bought the truck new. i replaced it with that optima and toyota reimbursed me for the battery, but i always had the thought to put an optima in the taco just cause. not cause it was needed, just cause. but if these vehicles cant sufficiently charged a dry cell without being modded for it, then i dunno.

    It depends on what the manufacturer range is.

    They are Maximum Throttle angle allowed based on calculated torque split vs vehicle speed.
    Calculated torque split is Optimal torque + WOP Torque / Calc Torque






    FYI..........

    We found throttle limiters for:
    1rst gear 4Low
    1rst gear 4High?
    1rst GEAR!!!!!!!
    R gear? < needs test

    Well I ended up tweaking my original throttle tune. Here is a stock THX vs my THX tweaked. I'm rather happy with the results. Not ridiculous, but ALIVE :burnrubber:

    For me, depending on where you measure, 14.4 at the ECU could be 14.6 at the battery terminals, I shot for the lower end. I can’t hook my multimeter to my terminals while I drive.

    I don’t want to cook my battery so I shot for the low end at 14.4 at the ECU, might be 14.6 at the battery. I can’t confirm this so for risk I shoot for the lower end.

    Did you multiply all the values, or put them in individually?
