    New to Tacoma Tune!

    Does it help improve the MPG and make the truck more smoother? Coming from Tuned VW GTis with over 300WHP.

    I just followed the forums advice on updating my ECU with the TSB from 04b10 to 04b13 using techstream and my OVTune cable. It was actually very easy. What you need to do is find the relevant instructions and give yourself about 1 hour with your laptop and truck to get it sorted out. If you don't have a way to charge your battery from a wall socket while you are doing it make sure it is fully charged before you update. My actual TSB update took less than 5 minutes - but they can take longer.

    Yes on both.

    For a while, I was up 3.5mpg for a while this summer with the new Betas. Overall with larger tires, a Softopper, some added weight, and winter blend, I'm holding on to my pre-OVT MPGs, which is excellent.

    Definitely smoother acceleration and shifts with the tune.

    I'm running the 1.05 base tune 87 octane and while there isn't much more torque per-say everything is smoother and more linear and I have definitely seen a 1-2 mpg increase

    Hey so I flashed to 93 FOB because I can get 93 where I'm at right now. My question is will I be okay to run 91 with the 93 FOB tune if I can't get 93 on my CC trip? Or should I Re-Flash to 91?

    04B13 here. Let me know what you need? The last DFCO patch sticking around has been pretty freaking sweet.

    Edit: I replied to the previous Zendesk DFCO ticket.

    Still not good at the lower altitudes ...... probably get pre-detonation / pinging. Don't risk it. This has been brought up before.

    The guys at altitude have been running the 87 tunes ....... on 85 Octane. ( can't get 87 )

    Looks like things may be changing with 2.0 ( when released ) see this :

    This may very well be the only time I’m excited to see you wrapping it up.

    You can either take your tuning computer with you and flash if you need to or run 87 FOB if you plan on filling up at altitude where 85 octane is common.

    I would love to help but unfortunately you caught me while I'm out of town again.

    I opted for a brand new Colorado as a rental vehicle to compare with the Taco. There is no comparison. I will remain very happy with my choice.

    Will 2.0 final work with 04B12? I am sure this has been asked previously as I am having issues with TechStream in updating to 04B13
