    From what I've tested... yes. But keep in mind its still going to slip lock. You can do the same for the slip unlock maps but, again, from what I've tested, the map that affects ECT also affects D... This is on the 04B04 ECU. I think newer ECUs have more TC maps to play with.

    VfTuner software download is back on line but version is not updated.

    Anyone know of any benefits from the update? @OVTune ?

    @tonered , do you know if the new vF release offers anything new or different? Version didn’t update on the website.

    I'm pretty sure they were talked about here on TW in general and determined to be snake oil.

    be plugged in and done, then I'm in

    That's not going to happen, so you're going to be waiting a long time. You should look for someone local to flash your truck for you.

    Try flashing a stock file using the older flash tool. Otherwise send it to me and I will unbrick it.
