    I bought into OVTune a couple of years ago and have kept up to date. I’ve been flashing my own vehicle but I think you would be better served to have Doekter Tuning do yours if you can swing it. I’d like to help out but my flashing confidence only extends as far as my own truck.

    Haha, thanks! I appreciate the honesty. Clear Lake is definitely on my list of visits once we get the travel trailer; just spent last weekend there at a friend's cabin.

    Is there a price for the VFC files if we already have the previous VFT files? Just noticed today you can’t flash VFT anymore. Haven’t kept up with the new updates for a while.

    Woke up excited, I'm getting tuned today. Can't wait to see what the regular tune with 5.29s is going to feel like.

    Any worries with this and the dealer? I know vw/Audi/Harley and others scan for tune/flashing other than oem. We have the shittiest toyo dealers and shops out here and don’t trust them. Like will techstream flag this.

    No, it will not... at least not directly. Techstream cannot identify the tune. It can see other things that are consistent with re-flashing/tuning, but those same things pop up when the battery is disconnected. They will not be able to tell the difference. If they really dig into it and end up asking, you’d just need to say that the battery was recently disconnected.

    Is there any long term negative affects to getting a tune?

    First tuned with OV back in 2018! Been to a dealership for multiple other reasons but never because of negative effects from a tune and they’ve never said a word about it.

    @PapaRee It was nice talking to you on the phone man. Thanks again.
    @HCFR TACO22 solid dude, easy to talk to. It was a pleasure meeting you today brother. Thank you.

    The drive back to my office was a new truck. My cheeks hurt from all the smiling. Truck felt smoother, quicker, more nimble, almost like lighter on her feet. The gears held longer and felt more powerful through out. The gear changes were smoother, overall completely new driving experience. I'm excited to see what it settles into after some mileage. Thanks again.

    I recently talked to a guy named Jacob that is located in Shreveport. He has a Dyno and a tuning business and wants to add Tacoma's to his list.
    @SLEEPYDUB
    If you want his info, PM me or him and we will get you tuned.

    In 2019, I was on my way back over Black Mountain on I-40, coming back from the beach in the Outer Banks. The shifting was a disaster. I vowed to fix it and bought OVTune as soon as I got home. OVTune went a long way to correct the issues I had with Toyota's stock tuning. I upgraded to @PapaReee's Krusier soon after, and it was LIGHT YEARS better than anything that came before. I have been on KDMAX since it's release. FINALLY my truck was drivable. I actually enjoy driving my truck, going on trips, and having someone sit in the passenger seat without the embarrassment of driving a POS! Since 2019, I have serviced my truck on time. NEVER has anyone questioned my trucks performance. Never has anyone asked about my truck with respect to being tuned. I have serviced in three different dealerships. The Stealership does not care, nor are they even capable of looking.
    1. Your dealership doesn't care.
    2. Your dealership can't tell if your vehicle is tuned.
    3. The only thing your are doing is avoiding better performance, better gas mileage, a much more enjoyable experience for the hard earned money you have invested in your vehicle.

    THIS IS THE BEST MOD YOU WILL EVER PERFORM ON YOUR TRUCK!

    GET TUNED! KDMax is the answer to your piss poor experience as a Tacoma owner.

    PM me if you want to know details, but THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!

    GET KDMAXED!

    I've tuned KDMax and, due to changes in the infrastructure of the OVTune, I'm no longer allowed to do so .... I am still SOLD on this tune. I have driven most of the exiting tunes, and NONE compare. KDMAX is the best available tune on the market. I am all about customer service , and the KDMax crew will go to the extra mile to address your individual concerns (custom requests) to ensure you are completely satisficed with your tune, you can not go wrong. GET HOT.....get it done.
