    Working on that
    I appreciate the responses, thank you. Now I need to find somebody local (Hood River, White Salmon) to help me with it.
    Anybody near me with ideas?

    Ohh, this is why I was getting an access denied error by your (assuming AWS s3) bucket when trying to download the final 2.0 tunes

    04B81 has been available as a Tune Pack since the start. TSB-0092-20 last year just made it possible for 04B80 folks to update as 04B81 came from the factory for later production 2020 ATs.

    @OVTune is the new update going to have the ability to fix the CEL if you have dump tubes?

    Hahaha! That's alright. 04B80 was early production. 04B81 is a good update from what folks have posted. There are a few TSB-0092-20 threads that mention the benes on the Stock tune. The OV Tunes over the top are even better.

    Yea, I think have a thx tune flashed rn. But I am trying to try a different tune out. Are you familiar with what the other tunes mean? Such as SuperFOb or basedump or superfobdumb etc

    Definitely flash up different tunes to see what you like.

    SFOB and the DumpTube tunes are only in the MT Tune Packs. SFOB is a performance tune and the DumpTube tunes are only if you have OVT's DumpTube headers. That would be 2020 MT ECU ID 04B90 and 04B91.

    For the ATs, the Final options (Perf and Tow tunes, TuneSwitching, and GearLock) will be released in the future.

    Ohh, so there are really only 4 tunes from OVTune that I can use, the prem_stock, prem_stock_thx, reg_stock, and reg_stock_thx?

    Until the Perf and Tow tunes, TuneSwitching, and GearLock tunes are released?

    Yes. That is exactly correct.


    2.0 Base is what the Tacos should have had from the factory. The tune is excellent and folks will really enjoy the Final options.

    Yea, I have the prem_thx right now. But gas mileage isn't that great. Although, this could be due to my muffler and a lead foot. WHo knows ahah.

    Anxiously waiting for gear locking!

    A bit of hard driving or speeds over 65 will definitely tank the MPGs. You have to balance that with Smiles per Mile.

    I think in general (no guarantees) that if you drive the same Stock and Tuned, there is typically an MPG bump. But, that new-found torque can be addicting. I've also found that the Tunes will change the exhaust note for the better, which doesn't help me stay out of the pedal.
