    I got the LT Tune as well this morning. Didn't notice much going home as I had always driven with ECT on but from the get-go the throttle response was much improved, period. Drove around town a bit and found out I do not have to use ECT anymore as it only winds the gears a bit further than the tune does. Thanks guys for your service this morning, if I knew other 3rd Gen owners I would send them your way.

    So, I had plans to take a bunch of pics at the DFW event but did not take ONE PIC. Totally forgot.

    Did anyone happen to take any pics of anything at the event? Kreg or me, a pic of some guys hangin out and/or trucks - anything would be appreciated! Thanks guys.

    I thought about it on the way home, I didn't take any either. LOL
    Hopefully, some of the guys there did.
    It was awesome meeting everyone.
    And we were able to add Kaleb @KalebG98 and Alex @A_Tacoma01 as new guys to flash the tune to others in the Dallas/FortWorth/Waco area in the future!!
    Great day all around.

    Hi, I've read a lot about your tune and what stands out the most is throttle response. No disrespect but is it similar to adding a peddle commander ? I'm in Canada and wouldn't be able to get your tune as far as I know .

    No, it is not like pedal commander.
    The tuning software-VfTuner has many different maps that can be changed to affect shifting, throttle, air/fuel ratio's, torque converter locking/unlocking, ECT, Cruise Control, etc...
    The tune is a complete tune. The only reason there are throttle choices is because everyone asked for different throttle choices. The rest of the tune is the same.
