2016 OVTune Tacoma 3.5L Manual Transmission / Engine ECU Reflash

You're welcome!

I would like to give you an MPG prediction, but that seems very individualized. Although, I would be a bit surprised if you didn't see an increase. Several folks report their best MPGs on FOB, esp the fat kids.




If you need any more help with , just hit me up.

 

Toss up any questions.

Gett going on the tune setup as soon as you get the order number message from @OVTune :

Instructions:

FM:

That way, you can tune the moment that your kit arrives.

Also consider loading up the hacked version of TS. @lapoltba can help you there. He has one that will work for the 2018s. It will allow you to do all those dealer only customizations for free, like change the number of one touch blinks and turn off the seat belt chimes.


Yeah. It takes a lot less throttle to get the same response.

 

Dump tubes ordered, paired with my current system I hope to see a significant increase in power along with the tune Mat has dialed in for these

 

Good stuff! You'll be ready.

 

I just went to the dump. First thing my partner says when we pull into the road is oh boy it's perky today did you do something to it?

Ha! Thanks fob.

 

Thanks, FOB!

I like it.

 

I need to try this FOB you speak of. I’m on 87 base right now.

 

She's a feisty girl

 

From what I read about FOB it's mostly for people with extra weight on their truck right? I don't have hardly any extra weight except for my little light bar and metal grill that could only adds like maybe 75-100 pounds. Oh, and my 12 inch sub. But still hardly anything. Would it give my 265/70 r17 tires a little more power to get started in each gear? Mainly up hill? I drive up a local mountain a lot with 20mph or less curves that are kind of steep. Don't have too many problems when no one is in my way and I can keep my RPMs up, but when someone slows down too much in front of me I have a hard time getting out of the curve in 3rd gear, and second is sometimes a bit too low.

 

I believe FOB will work just fine for your needs. I have an almost stock truck and run 87 FOB. Its nice for the get up and go when you need it, but you don't have to worry about it being difficult to drive under "normal" conditions. Most of the time you won't even notice it, but it is there when you just want to give it a little gas and go without worrying about searching for another gear when you are on slow up hill switchback.

 

FOB works well on any truck. I’ve run it on my nearly stock truck and many guys do too. It’s definitely got more power down low

 

i have no weight and run the test version of FOB because i like the performance of it more than the main file. i run the 93 version with an open exhaust and it's tons o fun. ordered the dump tubes also, just walking it up the levels and the truck keeps improving.

 

Hey everyone! I have been away for a while and I have been trying to get caught up. I am running 04B13 with 1.05 FOB is this the most recent tune for the MTs? I noticed there are some new tunes on the flash manager like 1.05.1 and 2.0.X.EROM, are those for the ATs? Because i can't seem to download them. Any info is appreciated. I have been trying to read through forum and search but it is always so much info when you are gone for a while. Thanks!

 

1.05 FOB is the latest

1.05.1 is a slushbox fix
2.x isn’t out yet

 

I just flashed with 87 FOB. I was going to reset the ECU learning after I flashed but P5Flash Utility is greyed out. I could get into it before I updated the OV tune software. Has the feature been disabled once updating or is something else weird?

 

P5 flash is for dongleless users
PCM flash is for dongle users

Which one did you use to flash your truck?

 

I had the same, make sure your OS and drivers are all up to date, it should solve the issue.

 

I wonder if it had a problem downloading the new p5flash when it updated. Did you try updating again in the flash tool? You could search your OS for p5flash, you should have an exe somewhere that is named something like p5flash_1.2.2.exe.

 

I don’t have the dongle. When I clicked the PCM flash I got an error saying couldn’t find single which makes sense. But then P5Flash is greyed out

 

no but it will be made available for dump tube owners as they get installed. no full release yet.
