VF Tune for Dummies.

What kinda driving is that? City? Combined?
Corrected?
ATs? Is that auto trans?

 

Y'all are making this tune some better and better to me. I am hoping to get mine done pretty soon by @PapaRee. I live in Mississippi my self.

 

That's daily driving average. Probably a 50:50 split of city and highway.

AT tires. MT Taco.

 

Go man go!

If I can handle it ANYBODY can handle it!

 

Nice! We’ve got about the same truck.

21 mpg combined with the added fun. Sign me up!

 

Exactly. No penalty with this setup. And, it is only getting better with age.

 

I’m the the western burbs LaGrange area.

 

Tagged you in my thread with more info

 

Tonered & Shellshock: have either of you guys ever experimented with tweaking your tunes yourself?

 

Yes, we have. @Shellshock is a pro with the AGM edits. I have messed around with the Air Load Control, Throttle, Torque Limits, and such. Basically, most everything that OVT posted about recently in the main vF thread. Here are a couple threads that I created:

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ovt-vf-linear-throttle-edit.685735/

 

Nice. That sounds like it could be fun to play with different things down the road.

I'm assuming it's as easy as opening a tune, renaming it, making the changes, and saving it?

And did I read somewhere VF Tune is going to do some "tuning webinars"?

 

pretty soon the title gonna be vftune for blown dummies. am i right or amirite? lol

 

Hey!

I resemble that remark!

hahahaha........

 

Yes. I would recommend copying and renaming the file beforehand though. This because when opening a map, making a change, and closing, it will ask to save with no opportunity to Save As . . .


It was said that videos will start to flow once 2.0 Final for the ATs is dropped.

 

Ah yes, that makes perfect sense.

I would probably do it that way anyway cause I'm such an ANAL SOB.

 

Yep. vF doesn't yet work like a typical Window program, but OVT is working on that aspect.

These new map edits that OVT recently gave us are untouched from Stock and the benefits are there to be had.

Also, I would (now) say to edit one map at a time and test. Like I said about the Air Load Control, I went too aggressive and struggled a bit to find out which changed caused the problem.

 

Is there anyone in central California who is doing this? I don’t have a windows computer and need this tune in my life

 

There should be folks.

Otherwise, @Shellshock runs all the OVT and TechStream stuff on a Mac using Bootcamp.

 

there was someone in California but I don’t remember who

but yeah, I bootcamp mine. No issues

 

I noticed that!

I'm just glad that I read about how long it takes for the program to load. If I hadn't known that little tidbit I would have kept clicking on the icon and then had about 150 copies of the program opened!

LOL
