We are trying to get a hold of the tuner. At tune events they can be swamped and not able to respond.

Apologies, but so much of these are hosted on FB/social media to make it easy for everyone.

 

Contacted! Thanks guys!

 

I know someone asked about interest in a Chicago tuning meet a couple posts back and I am glad I didn't see it. I made the road trip up to Grand Rapids to see Michael (@sonhn317) and I am glad I did. He's a great dude (with a sweet truck) and took great care of me. If you are in driving distance and want a tune, hit him up!

Now, in terms of the tune, I am LOVING it so far. I used the trip as an excuse to head up to the Manistee National Forest for a little camping with my son. The responsiveness of the gas pedal was a little jerky in the stop-and-go construction traffic, but man this thing has come alive! I can't speak to the fuel economy yet, as I haven't really done any of my "normal" driving. I am LOVING it, though.

I'll update with any new observations that may pop up. Thanks again, Michael!

 

I just got this tune done on my new 2021, already getting ~0.4mpg better than I tended to average in the city, and I’m only ~40 miles into the new tune

will post another update once I’m 500miles in. The power is noticeably better. It felt like it added straight extra torque on the low end. How it accomplishes this without extra engine noise (I was expecting a higher revving engine but nope), and without a worse mpg is beyond me. But I guess that’s why I don’t work on cars

Very happy with the tune thus far, will report back at 500 miles

 

I’m thinking of getting the KDMAX for my 21 OR Tacoma. I’m a first time Tacoma owner. I do trails in Moab and Colorado a couple times of year and recently realized the dunes are my favorite place in Michigan. What can anyone tell me about this tune affecting off road performance for the Tacoma? The tune sounds great and I think I’m going to pull the trigger on it but I want to make sure it won’t cause issues when I go off Roading. TIA

 

Only positives offroad IMO. Stock it hesitates and hiccups too much, and with the tune that’s gone and the pedal feel is way more linear. I personally like to be able to feather the throttle how I want which I found LT to be perfect for, but one guy who wheels super hard likes the SLT.

 

Yeah, how do I know which setting is best for me? How do I figure that out? I don't wheel all the time but I noticed on the dunes the shifting is well .....shifty. I hope the tune will improve that. But what about for daily driving? What is the aggressive setting?

 

Best way is to test drive it and find out. We pretty much all offer free retunes for throttle adjustments, so if you decide then and there or down the road that you need something else we can help. Shifting is definitely WAY better.

Personally I start pretty much everyone off with LT/middle of the road throttle so people have a good baseline to work with (though other tuners have different methods). 99% of people feel it’s perfect for both daily driving and offroad, have had a couple that say the want SLT or the L. Just depends on your preferences and driving style.

 

Yeah I know this has been asked 1 million times.. still no KDMAXX for 3rd gen 4 bangers?

 

OK, thanks. Middle of the road is a good place to start. I am getting it on a friday and the person will be around saturday if I need to change it. Otherwise, we don"t live near each other so I would want to have it set by saturday I would think.

 

One day into the tune, 30 minute drive home was so much different. I got the aggressive with regular tune as I drive like it’s stolen normally and don’t want to spend extra on premium fuel for a daily driver-, so Allan (MasterYota or @xXgOdLyXjEwXx) suggested aggressive/regular

I left the truck home for the wife to drive today and give me her opinion as she has complained about the way it drove also. The only thing I will have to learn is local driving (block to block stop sign) it is a little jerky, so I will have to adjust my pedal manner. I haven’t driven on highway yet but in Pittsburgh there is an abundance of crazy hills,- I was able to blow up them no crazy shifting. Will give an update- once I have a good month of different driving/towing. I don’t do hard off-roading, occasional trails to fishing spot, hunting spots, camp. But the condition of most of the roads here in the burgh could qualify as such.
