    Well my 96 Chevrolet started to cost me $xxxx money to keep running and it was a better deal to buy new and build some credit while I'm at it. As opposed to fixing up the old truck.

    He’s a sugar baby for sure. Whatever makes it happen. Lots of protein in that stuff anyway.

    Anyone in the Southern NH, Mass area with this tune willing to meet up and chat about it? I’m interested in buying it but wanted to talk to someone face to face about it.

    Thanks man! Depending on where he is that could be a serious hike for me lol. He could be an hour away or 4 hours away. I’ll wait and see if anyone else responds.

    About 90mi as the crow flies. Well worth the effort if he has the time.

    Any excuse for me to hop in the taco and drive alone is a good enough one for me!

    When can we expect a 2020 MT tune? I'm not seeing any info on this and it was skipped right over when I asked in the development thread.

    It is just porting the existing tunes to the 2020 ECU IDs. So, the experience will be generally similar to what gets posted here.

    The only time that you are going to see significant changes is when there is a major shift from Toyota. I was thinking that they might do more with the 2020 refresh, but they didn't.

    Still, the tune does rock.

    I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea what you mean. Can you rephrase?

    I don't have a clue if I can buy a tune for my truck.

    And if I can, I don't know what method is available to get a tune into my truck now.

    There is no FAQ or easy way to get simple answers for people who don't speak computer. Or if there is... I've missed it.

    I'm beginning to think it shouldn't be so difficult to learn about this and to spend $700 on it.

    There are no tunes available yet for the 2020s.

    All of the instructions are on the OVT website. Read through them. It is a piece of cake if you read and follow them.

    Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I guess with so many places to read I missed what should've been right in front of me. Just got frustrated.

    Oops! I read 'what' instead of 'when.'
