tonered's tuning assistance - vF and YotaWerx Tunes for Your Taco, 4Runner, and Tundra

@tonered

I can flash tunes and TSB updates to trucks. Currently live in the Cleveland, OH area and can travel if need be

Anybody around the NY/NJ area (Rockland/Westchester/Bergen) that can do/is doing the TSB's? If not I'll probably end up doing mine myself since I plan on doing the VF Tuning soon.

 

Please add me to both of the list. I can update TCUs and Install OVTunes. I service NC,SC and Virginia.

Tony, can you flash my Taco this next week. I work in Everett and can meet wherever you like. Steve 828-302-6027. I have 2017 that I bought recently, don’t know if it has the TSB update. Would like the vf tune also.

 

Hey, Steve.

I would pull your phone number from the post.

Yes, I can. Check you PMs though. I sent you one a few weeks back after you posted on my profile page.

 

let me know how it goes. I’m in The Dalles with a 2018 TRD Off Road.

 

Send me a DM, I’m in Portland and just passed through this past Friday.

 

Nice logo and flyer dude!

 

Thanks!

 

If you don’t mind me asking, what tune did you get? (I’m trying to decided if I purchase the vf tune with the 3.5 package or get it tuned out) hope I make sense

 

I can do TSB updates in Phoenix, AZ area and surrounding areas. Will also start offering tuning in the near future.

 

Anybody in the Palm Springs/ Coachella California area that can OV TUNE? Just went from stock tires to 33’s and can definitely feel the difference when the AT transmission is shifting.

 

I had my truck tuned a few days ago by John at Overland tuning.
I was very pleased with the whole process. He answered any questions I had about the tune and explained everything on what he was going to do to load everything up.
I signed all the paperwork which is nice so its a documented procedure not like a meet someone they plug in and pay and go.
Once he started it was really nice to see someone use a nice soft microfiber draped over my front end when he hooked up the battery tender while he was checking for any ECU updates needed. I am very anal about my paint so that was a huge bonus in my book.

Once all the ECU checks were done he flashed my truck which only took a few mins and we then took a ride. John monitored all my truck params to make sure the tune was working well with my truck and not just giving me a tune and thats it and hope it plays nice with my truck.

All and all it was a nice quick flash and the extra care done to the truck for the prep work and the ride after to make sure everything is good to go is what takes it a step up compared to how other tunes I have done on past cars I have owned.

 

I sent you a PM

 

I had KDMAX 6.0 tune, 87 Octane with light throttle tip in installed on my 2020 Tacoma Sport DBL Cab on Friday by John aka @Boltripper . John was super accessible and willing to talk about various tunes and what each offers before I committed. He's actually installed the tunes on his personal Tacoma, so he was able to give valuable feedback and recommendations based on his personal experiences. I'm very glad I took John's advice because I am very happy with the tune so far (still trying to get some miles in).

I Met John at his house, which actually made me feel more comfortable about the whole process. John again took the time to talk about the various tunes available. John was very meticulous during the actual tuning process. He performed the tune following a detailed check list and documented every step of the process. He connected a backup battery to ensure there were no problems due to low voltage during the process. He verified I had the latest TSB installed before proceeding with the tune. After the tune was installed, he asked me to drive the truck to verify that I was happy with the tune (I will give a detailed review of the tune when I get a few more miles on it here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/disappointed-in-new-tacoma-ovtune-help.714757/. Just let me say that I immediately felt a big improvement. John rode along and monitored the data stream to ensure all parameters were within the normal range during the test drive. With all this said, John made me comfortable with a process that I have never performed on any of my vehicles. He is detail oriented and very professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John to anyone wanting to install a tune on their Tacoma!

BTW, I live in Huntsville, AL area. I drove to Birmingham to have the tune installed by John.

 

Phil i am glad to hear you finally got tuned and John did a great job for you! I will be looking for your review!

 

Recent 2016 SR5 owner but long time Toyota owner. I'm coming from an '07 4Runner which I've loved to the Tacoma in November. I disliked the way the Tacoma drove and shifted from day one. Found out about performance tuning and John from the forum here. I had taken the truck to a Toyota dealer who had installed the latest TSB. And while that improved it somewhat it was still less than I desired. Contacted John in Hoover, AL and drove over from Mississippi. Very professional, attention to detail. I was going to get the Kruiser 4.0 but after talking to John and reading about the KDMax 6.0 I went with that. Glad I did! I think perhaps the Kruiser 4.0 would have gotten me back to the way my 4Runner drove, I believe the KDMax exceeds it. My truck is so responsive and quick now. Hills are no problem, shifting is smooth and seems "right". The cruise control is much, much better. Before I couldn't use resume or the truck would drop to 4th gear unless I was at or near the set speed. I live in a valley and when I pull out of my driveway I go up a pretty steep incline. Before my truck would just crawl up it. Now it Hardly notices there a hill there. Very happy with the tune so far. Very happy with John installing it. Highly recommended!
