    Because we're on windows 10.

    That's not a joke. It's a known issue, Mat is aware.

    Yeah, now that you mention it I do remember this being a known problem in the past. I just thought it was addressed a few updates ago.

    On another note, has anybody figured out how to switch the fuel learning curve to run on premium fuel? I'm running Mooseditty17's stacked throttle tune(love it!) with the AGM settings I transfered and saw that he based it off the regular fuel file and not the premium one. Is it as simple as changing a certain map definition or would I need to match everything he changed in the reg file to the premium file?

    Just take what he’s modified and put it into a premium file.

    or maybe you can sweet talk him into making one if you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself

    I’ve done most of this for 04B04 premium stock 33. I didn’t do his shift modifications, but have everything else done. I’ve made a few other minor tweaks. I also applied the throttle changes to S-mode which the original didn’t have and modified for AGM to get 14.3 14.5V. I was going to flash it tonight and run it through the weekend.

    I skipped his shift Point mods as those seemed more geared towards towing which I don’t do much of.

    You may think that his shift points would result in fewer MPG, but it’s equal to OV’s latest release (at least on my truck). From a manners perspective, my all stock truck drives GREAT on his tune

    **I THINK** the tow stuff he did is in ECT mode. @Mooseditty17 can correct my if I misunderstood.

    A shift table that kept it >2000 rpm, I think a lot of people would be happy.

    I see better fuel economy in the MT if I cruise at 2000-2500 rpm. Lower and it’ll bog and end up with less mpg.

    The shifts on my tunes hold gears longer if you burry the throttle, otherwise it's really just tuned to hunt less. It doesn't shift into 5th until about 45 mph and won't even consider 6th gear until 60.

    The "tow tune" is only active with ECT PWR on. All that's really doing is holding onto fourth gear up to 65-70 mph instead of using overdrives @ 40! And, it doesn't downshift to 3rd as often.

    I wasn’t concerned about the MPG aspect. I’m still on the tune. It just tends to hold gears longer than I need. It’s a great tune. I’m just going a slightly different direction for me.

    I made the changes in my post above and nothing changed.

    Here is a log. Assuming >80% is full throttle, I can get full throttle in 2nd and 3rd+. I can't get full throttle in first gear. Is it possible, If so what do I need to change?

    For this log, I stomped the pedal abruptly from a dead stop and abruptly let off shortly after shifting into 3rd gear (like an on off switch).

    Has anyone, using the latest version of vF Tuner (1.2.5.1) with ECU 2018+ get any error on flashing / after flashing? verification / corrupt error?

    specifically 04A61, 04A60?

    I've flashed several times with that version without any issues.

    I believe @Mooseditty17 and some others have made this change

    I’ve done it, but I’m a MT so unfortunately not super helpful.

    I assume you’ve double checked your file to make sure the edits saved?

    I was going to mess around this weekend, are you recommending we hold off to be safe because a bug has been identified? Or doing some sleuthing?
