    How long have you had your tune? I felt like that was happening and then after the "learning" period, it greatly improved.

    Sorry for the confusion. I don't have the tune. I was just curious if the tune is helping with the rev hang issue any.

    @PapaRee I don't know if this was asked before, but has the tune been tested in very cold weather like -35C? If not, does the tune adjust itself to make sure AFR and other are at safe value?

    Damn, that’s cold!
    The AFR will adjust as far as the stock tune does. So if the stock tune is good for -35C, then KDMAX is good for -35C.

    I hit -33F (-36C) on my drive to Alaska last winter, and everything worked fine for me!

    I have noticed the throttle is not smooth / a tad jumpy when the engine is cold. It goes away quickly. Haven't driven it under 0C yet though.

    Another thing... i thought redline was supposed to be 6200 RPM? I hit 6800rpm having fun on the weekend (in S mode)... (which is what 2.0 was)... thoughts?

    @PapaRee
    Do you have a preference/advice as far as “best” regular brand of fuel to use with our tuned trucks? TIA.

    I use Exxon/Mobil (my local station) and have not had any problems. On the road, I try to get a "name brand" gas. I would think that any top tier fuel--Shell, Exxon/Mobil, etc. would be good.
    If anyone has any other opinions or advice, please let us know.

    Been using Wally World for as long as I can remember. I did try the chevron w/Techron fuel system additives before too. I guess I can just go with chevron or Mobil…

    About 20 years ago the service manager at a small town Toyota dealer told me that they had a service bulletin from Toyota Canada recommending to use Chevron gas (from a popular gas station so the fuel is fresh) for all fuel related issues, after draining a customer's tank.

    In British Columbia, Chevron sells 94 octane.:D Sunday mornings at the local Chevron can be like a car show with all the turbos, muscle cars, hot rods coming to fill up.

    Currently have the SLT tune, just got some 33in MTs. Would like to hear people's experience with the regular tune on 33s. Any pros or cons over the LT? Wondering if there will be any MPG gains going more aggressive in tune. Meeting my tuner next week to upgrade, would like some thoughts. I'm also running 93 on a reg tune if that helps. Thanks!

    @PapaRee if I remember correctly you mentioned hitting the ECT on SLT gives you regular tune. What does ECT on regular give you?

    ECT is the same on all the tunes. It holds gears a little longer and has a little more aggressive throttle. It is good for towing and performance.

    By the way. I have 33” tires and run the regular/aggressive throttle tune. It is perfect for me. Although it does take a little while to adjust to. But once you are used to the sensitive throttle, you will always want it— power and acceleration when you need it or want it.

    This is the way. I tried LT and was happy, but my tuner said "just try regular throttle while I'm here" and it's what I went with. You definitely have to learn to feather the throttle a bit but now, I'm so used to it it feels like stock again.
