    Hello, does anyone know all the different OTT settings for 3rd gen Taco's?
    It would be nice to know what each OTT setting is best suited for.
    I cannot find anything listed on the OTT site.

    I'd like to know the hierarchy of OTT tune from lowest setting to highest in drive.
    Also the lowest tune setting to the highest in ECT.

    I currently have Lite(drive) and mild for (ECT)

    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you :) I don't know why I thought there were more settings. I guess I need to go with Lite and Lite for ECT. I cannot believe how much OTT improved the daily driving experience. So happy with it.

    Lite Minus - Lite ECT (Lightest Throttle) - More than stock
    Lite - Mild ECT (A bit more than Lite Minus-Lite)
    Mild - Medium (A bit more than Lite-Mild)
    Medium -Spicy (More than Mild-Medium)

    90% of guys settle on LITE - MILD or Mild - Medium


    The throttle setting name next to ECT is the throttle response when ECT is engaged... Example - LITE - MILD ECT (Means you have LITE when in Drive mode and MILD when in ECT)

    The ECT Button Settings are a great Tow/Haul or SPORT Setting that provides higher shift points and also is quicker to downshift to keep the truck in the torque curve.

    I settled for Lite Minus. the others were just too sensitive for me with 4.88 gearing.

    Our standard throttle settings as part of our base files for the 3G Auto vehicles consist of the following:

    Lite Minus - Lite ECT
    Lite - Mild ECT
    Mild - Medium ECT
    Medium - Spicy ECT
    Spicy - Super Spicy ECT

    We have a "Race" setting above SS, but it's so rarely used/requested that we do not build it in our base files. That said, we can mix/match the settings if the client requires. I'd ask that you communicate that need/desire ahead of your appointment to ensure you have the file you need available at the time of your appointment, as the alternate settings are custom.

    3G Manual settings are:

    Lite Minus
    Lite
    Mild
    Medium
    Spicy
    Super Spicy

    We also have a "Race" setting, as mentioned above.

    Please don't hesitate to email us with any questions about our product.

    Wow, thank you for listening all the scenarios! I really wish they'd give this break down on the OTT site.

    I told Paul at PNW Tuning that I just wanted improved drivability with an eye on towing a one-car aluminum car trailer with a variety of cars. What he gave me is simply amazing.

    Mild/medium, as I recall. After several months of driving, the only minor negative to the tune, if you could quantify it as a negative, is a touchy throttle response from an idle. Was easy to adjust my driving style to compensate to the point I no longer even notice it.
