    I waited to respond to this until after I had a long long drive. I just finished the Georgia Traverse; I drove from Cincinnati taking all back roads and just returned home on I75 last night. :)
    I'm getting this not just in 1k-2k rpms, but up and over 3000 rpms. I was a bit heavy with all the gear I had but not towing my camper heavy. I notice it the most on the highway when trying to gain speed. Just very inconsistent, slightly shuddering power.
    Question: What does a patch mean to us? Is that a table you create or adjustments you make that we overwrite our current tune with VFTuner? I'm assuming you're not making anymore changes to 2.0 final before release?

    Doooooooooood! Don't unlock that ECU.

    Update to 04B04 first:

    Yes. You will use the orange Tactrix. Just follow along in that 1st Post, install TechStream, and load up that T-0034-18.cuw file.

    You will need to have the Tactrix drivers installed.

    I'm not even sure there is anything released yet for 04B01 yet, but could be wrong. Once you update to 04B04 you will be good to go. Not to mention just that update alone you will notice a huge difference!

    Get techstream installed then. After you confirm it works, close it down, then double click on the T-0034-18.cuw file.
