    805 Tacoma Tuning is at it again, rain or shine and everything in between!

    Today, Ali invited us to his place. Our mobile service allowed us to set his 2019 Tacoma Sport up with a KDMAX Pro 10.0 tune and our Normal throttle option without the need for him to leave his location.

    We pride ourselves on providing the best customer support at all times as part of the KDMAX network, and we are always happy to answer any questions you may have.

    The smile and handshake at the end of his test drive said it all.

    He did add, " Now that is how this truck is supposed to drive!!" - Ali

    Stock or Modified - Tacoma’s/4Runner’s/Tundra’s will benefit greatly from a KDMAX tune.

    ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

    We share the same excitement as our customers, knowing the benefit they will receive when they request 805 Tacoma Tuning to bring KDMAX and their vehicle together. The results are shocking .

    Improved drivability is the goal. This is achieved by:

    • Optimizing Air/Fuel Ratio/Economy

    • Eliminating Erratic Shifting

    • Improving Throttle Response

    • Increasing Horsepower (20hp) and Torque (33ftlb)

    Montana Tune day. Had to break out the canopy and heater to keep customers warm and dry! Great meeting everyone. Will post up reviews after a Week or so in the tune. Initial impressions.

    I LOVE the sport mode. Going to keep it.
    Amazing difference!
    Sport mode is Perfect.

    And of course the standard why didn’t Toyota do this?

    MTN TuneWorx met up with Conor over the weekend to help him wake up his sweet new TRD Pro with KDMAX pro 10.0. He had all the usual complaints: lack of power, erratic shifting, and an overall displeasure with how the truck drove. After some discussion he decided to go with the normal throttle setting and came back from the test drive with a big KDMAX smile.

    Are you sick of your trucks lack of power and slow throttle response ?
    Do you wish your trucks transmission was more predictable and smooth?
    Do you want to improve the overall drivability and start to enjoy driving your truck again?

    If you answered yes, then KDMAX Pro is for you.

    Mtn Tuneworx is located in Eagle County CO, and offers KDMAX tuning service to all areas to the East, including Denver and the Front Range.

    Reach out with any questions and to schedule your tuning appointment.

    Thanks for the great review @CheckM3te! Always great to meet new folks and Brad was another one. He had a great looking 2017 Tacoma on an older version of the KDMax Pro. We updated him to the KDMax 10.0 on the Sport Throttle. He was happy with the improvements on the KDMax tune. Really nice guy with a sweet truck….in a town that I have spent a lot of time in growing up.IMG_1742.jpg

    I’ve had tunes starting with the original Ovtune and many since. I’ll say 10.0 is the best by far. Finally the truck feels somewhat normal. This really took the driveability to the next level. The truck just floats on the highway now and doesn’t feel like I am towing an anchor. The shifts are less chaotic and much more predictable. I actually enjoy driving it now.

    Western Slope Tuning continues to provide top notch services to Toyota owners on the Western Slope of Colorado. In the last month we've done several Tacomas, 4Runners, and an FJ Cruiser (not all pictured). Everyone is extremely happy with both the KDMAX tune and the customer service provided! If you're on the fence, shoot me a PM and I will get you some happy references!

    Xi took advantage of the October special for in-person KDMax Pro tuning services and brought me his 2022 Tacoma on this rainy afternoon. Like many owners of these trucks, he was frustrated with the lack of power and erratic shifting the factory tune provides. His truck is an all-stock, everyday driver and he just wanted it to run better. Well, the KDMax Pro v10.0 ECU tuning service can provide exactly that! I flashed his truck to our "Lite" throttle setting and sent him for an initial test drive. Upon his return, he commented on the immediately noticable improvements to throttle response, shifting, and low-end power. Thank you sir for trusting me to help improve the driving experience of your truck! If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out!

    Interested in the same experience for your own Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, or Land Cruiser? There's never been a better time to get KDMax tuned! All tuning services performed at my location in South Glens Falls, NY through the month of October will qualify for a $50 discount. It doesn't get better than that! Call/text/message me today to make your appoint. Most customers can be accomodated same day!

    Has anyone experienced a different when you disconnect the battery, with the feel of the truck after?

    I did, and noticed a distinct difference in engine braking going downhill. It was far worse then before....

    I had to downshift way more to keep speed under control.

    To.be clear, I am NOT blaming the tune.... just curious if it's something to do with the ecu being reset and " forgetting" the tune in a way?

    This is more likely to be learned values being cleared than any effect on the tune. The tuning process is writing to non-volatile memory. It can’t be cleared as a result of power loss, but there are learned value stored in the ECU and TCU that may well clear if power to those computers is cut. I would expect the truck will return to normal after you’ve driven it for a bit (probably a few hundred miles). If the opportunity arises to do so safely, give her a few gradual wide open throttle pulls. That will help the learning process along. If any issues persist after a few hundred miles, ping your tuner for a reflash of the tune. Hope that helps! Let us know if you need anything else!

    Planning on doing a tune not sure which just yet. I have a 2.7 and drive it in S mode 4 in town and then S mode 5 on the highway. Does anyone still use the S mode after the tune

    My truck is a 6 cylinder, and of course I’m now a tuner for KDMax, but I started as a customer and the only time I use S mode since the tune is when I’m towing or I want to manually trigger a downshift for engine braking.

    After the tune, you should be able to ride in Drive with a stronger, smoother, and predictable truck. The tune will make drivability improvements that make driving in Drive more enjoyable. SMode will still be an option if that’s what you prefer. It will also be improved.

    I love SMode....I do leverage it for real work when towing also but just around town I kick it in when it want to enjoy the truck and some level of manual interaction. The truck really opens up!
