    Big thanks to @wahoobie

    Got the updated tune on Monday. I’ve only had a couple days on the new tune, but I am impressed. Smooth as butter.

    I picked the “Normal” tip in. Drives pretty good so far. Highway mileage is impressive on my truck. 17-20 avg depending on how much I give it the juice. I’m pretty sure I can achieve over 21mpg if I feather the throttle at 65-69mph. 4.88’s & 32’s

    thanks Papa. Nice work

    I've got 200ish miles after second flash and resetting tranny lvs via techstream. Upshift to 5th has improved. I still have a lazy upshift, but it is not dramatic as it used to be.
    I still use 92 octane and sport version.
    Still getting a stable kclv. 27 if I drive fast and under the load, 29 in town and below 50. Those -7, -6 knock feedbacks are gone and I rarely see -5. That was a reason for me to ditch 2.0 based tunes, Including kdmax 6.0 and seek help to tune out valve and ignition tables to stop knocking and stabilize kclv.
    Mpg is about the same or slightly better compate to mine tune.
    It holds gears alright. I hit 108% of the load in 5th on the long climb doing 75 and it did not kick down to 4th.
    In some cases , I'm able to accelerate to 80 in 6th. I always prefer to downshift though.

    I like the fact that accelerator/throttle limits are tuned to the point where accelerator position and throttle position are matching in most cases.
    This something I could not figure out yet on my tune.

    AFRs are good.
    I have TRD exhaust and intake and no CELs.
    Tried CC for a bit and did not have any issues. Seems working like it should.
    I think this a better and more professionally done tune. Sorting out valve and ignition timing is a huge improvement in driveability, available power, etc.

    Thanks Vlad for the review! Definitely getting some miles on the tune helps to settle the tune. Enjoy the new Pro tune and have a Happy Thanksgiving!! :hungry:

    I flashed this on my MT Saturday. I've only driven about 40 miles (ish) so far, but it does feel pretty good. Acceleration from a stop in 1st is better than the previous version. Throttle is consistent from gear to gear also.

    I did notice a bit of a bump in MPG on one of my longer drives (my usual driving style doesn't really play well with gas mileage, though :D).

    I have a longer (~200 mile round trip) drive coming up in a couple of weeks, but so far, this is a nice improvement.

    Not sure. That company Bonfire.com handles the orders.
    You could reach out to them. Contact Us | Bonfire
    It does say that there are shortages due to covid-19. I have the Charcoal color and it looks great.
    My oldest son Chase @ReeBaby did the design and set up that order page. https://www.bonfire.com/kdmax-tuning-shirts-and-hoodies/

    I noticed in the first post, reseting learned values is recommended for the pro file. Can this be done with the vf flash tool or does one need tech stream?

    If vf can do it, what is the option?

    I have a Manual tranny

    For the Manual, you just do a reset ECU. But remember to give it time after a reset to settle/learn. And do some wide open throttle pulls to help things along.

    4RUNNER KDMax-Pro

    4Runner support:
    -2010-11 2/4wd
    -2012 4wd
    -2014 2wd
    -2015-2018s 2/4wd

    We have been getting more requests for KDMax 4runner tunes, so I updated those with the Octane learning along with the KDMax-Pro performance, throttle and smooth power delivery.
    So anyone with a 4runner that they want tuned, it is the same price as the Tacoma.
    Reach out to your local KDmax-Pro tuner.


    (@mds08 , Give us a review on your 4runner when you get a chance.)
