    That would be great for decreasing throttle sensitivity for off road stuff...... thanks!

    That's gonna be a nice touch. Tweaky in the high gears, and able to be modulated in the low gears. I like it...

    Any approximate dates when you'll have the Tow Tune available? If there's one thing I would do to this truck, it would be eliminate that damn Atkinson's cycle. I want all available power all the time, not when it feels like I need it. Keep up the good work @OVTune

    I'm new to the "tuning" world. I feel like such a badass just tweaking my throttle angels :D. Couldn't have done it without you !

    This isn't to limit sensitivity, these tables limit how far the throttle can open.
    So for example you floor it in 4low.
    The max throttle the ECU will let you have is 40*.

    I did the whole thing individually except the last two 89.9 sections i left alone as per @OVTune
    I basically went across the field trying to increase top to bottom and left to right in smooth transition that had a bit of a uphill climb to it.

    I tried running that and I wasn't quite satisfied with the very beginning of the pedal. So I started using the multiplier until it looked better. Saved, flashed, LOVED! Granted it needs to be ran for a bit to be 100% sure, but thus far I like what I've done. Spent hours doing it. Not gonna lie :D

    Why would you want to limit the maximum amount of throttle? Essentially putting a block under the gas pedal right?

    Gotcha. Is there somewhere we could make the sensitivity in 4lo different than in drive?

    Highlight area, CTRL +F to set value in highlighted area

    Then, highlight an area, CTRL+ i to interpolate and smooth.
    Will be much easier than setting individual values

    Thanks for the tip

    @OVTune

    If I want to take my tweaked tune, and then try the CTRL + I version of that tune, what is the best way to ensure I save two separately saved tunes so I can go back without saving over my other stuff. I'm used to a "save as" option and I can't wrap my head around this. :O

    CTRL + I.jpg OMG... I just did what took me hours on my "tweaked tune" in .012583597 seconds with this little tid bit of information. And it' turned our WAY smoother. Now what's the best way to save this version of my "tweaked tune" so I have my original tweaked and a "Tweaked CTRL+I tune".

    I went into my Tune folder. Copied it to the desktop, renamed as CTRL+I tune, and dropped that into my tune folder as another file. That will do the trick right?

    What's the downside of a higher limit? I guess I should ask, why did Toyota set it where they did? More nanny control?

    Good to know. I changed the values to 94 for the ones that were 95 and now I have a constant 14.5 at the battery with the multi-meter during idle. It’s an interstate Costco battery. If it goes bad I will return it and get a new one.

    When I make a change on VFTuner that I decide I don't like the looks of... how do I "undo"?
