vF Tuner for the 3.5L Tacoma

hey thanks, tuned this on my truck and had a blast driving it through some back roads. no I gotta figure out how talor it more to my driving style. also, was there some kind of manual that comes with vf tuner telling us what everything does?

 

Nope. Trial and error. Glad you like it. Make little adjustments on one maybe two things at a time and see if it's what you're looking for. If not, keep on making adjustments until it's tailored to your needs.

 

@Mooseditty17 has come a long way in a month’s time! Just a few weeks ago, @tonered and I were badgering him to upgrade from 04b02 lol now look at him go!

 

So it looks like for the autos the TC locks up in 6th as soon as you're above 53 MPH no matter what and it will never unlock until you're at least below 51. Considering chaning this so that the TC is able to unlock under 70. Anyone see any long term harm to the tranny in doing this?

 

I’ve moved all my TC points up. I don’t see any issues other than maybe heating up your trans fluid. My temps have been fine though. Can’t speak to 6th in particular, my min shift up to 6th is at 72mph.

 

Finally got through making a new tune for my dump tubes... failed. Truck won’t start. About to jump it off and hope it’s a damn voltage issue....

 

What Ecu version?
Failed flash, or flash success?

 

04B04

tried several times. Went back to a stock 2.0 file.. same thing



Tried it in both VF and the flash manager.

 

I don’t want to have to open a ticket, but all I did was create a file with the values for dumps set to zero and now I’m stuck.. can’t even go back stock

 

try this >
shut truck off. unplug battery, wait 5 - 10 mins.
then try to flash, click "flash it" and select the file
do NOT press identify.

 

no luck. Tried it, made it to 3%, 26%, 5%

 

OHHH SHIT!!
Hopefully you get it. Help this man Mat!
I’m down the road if you need me.

 

I have my wife’s 4 runner I can take to work tomorrow but yeah..

appreciate it

 

Is there any benefit to making these linear? starting at the lowest value staying the same and making the highest value 100 and Ctrl I the whole field? Or is changing them all to 100 really the least limiting and overall best case scenario?

 

Just flashed your newest tune about to go for a drive. So glad we are running the same setup and your good with vftuner cuz im not lol. Thats the beauty of vftuner i guess we can all share if we have the same ecu id. Keep up the good work bud, ill follow up with some comments on this newest tune!

 

I’ve been through something similar a year or so back. But I had a dongle and PCM flash. It took several attempts but it worked.

this is something different.

 

It's a damn good start, but you'll have to play with the fine tuning for your style of driving and particular vehicle set up. Hope you enjoy! Do small adjustments at a time when fine tuning. If it seems it's ALMOST there... let the truck run with it for a bit, it may fix itself, if not, adjust and run some more. I'm still FINE tuning to my likes, for my truck. Damn though, I honestly fell in love with the ol girl all over again!

 

So this does not act like the throttle limit 1 through 6 tables correct? It just gives the throttle the ability to open all the way... It's not like a pedal commander turned to 50 out of 10 right? You found setting all the values to 100 successful? Do you see any benefit to setting the final value to 100 and Control I the whole field? Will I reap the same benefits being a slush box?
