    Canada Eh!
    OP- it takes all of about 2 min to re-flash. If they road test your truck properly and thoroughly they may discover the increased rev limit and somehow discover gear lock (assuming you’re Auto with the GL tune). That could raise a lot of questions. If the tech is switched on, they’ll also notice how much better the truck drives.

    Better to flash back to stock and not have needed to, then not and wish you had.

    Nice!

    We have E0 everywhere, but you have to get 91 or higher.

    Update. Just told transmission fluid is low and tried to blame me...lol. I have complained about possible low fluid and it’s documented. I have the towing package that was under filled at the factory according to previous posts. They only did the easy check each time. They are filling and giving back but service guy is meeting with manager Monday to decide if I owe.
    My questions:
    1. Should I flash it back after I get it today, I have ovtune.
    2. Could this have caused permanent damage?
    3. Should I start a case with Toyota or wait?

    thanks all!!’

    You'll owe nothing, let them prove you messed with the transmission fluid level since purchased.
    Btw, you do know, not to mention this forum to the service department, right?

    Just curious, why you say not to mention this forum?

    I know, crazy. He a said i was the first person to mention that TSB, that was in 2019 when it was just released. When i told him about the hesitation between 20-40mph or whatever it was, which i didnt have by the way, he had no clue what i was talking about. I told him the TSB# is on TW, he did a search on google and got the number from a thread on TW.
