    Hey Mat,

    Not exactly an OVTune complaint, but I'd highly recommend shipping via USPS (or FedEx) in the future. UPS has to be the absolute worst, at least in our area. I found out today that my kit won't be delivered today, as it was supposed to, because a train broke down in IL on the 18th... :annoyed:

    I would think doing a "flat rate" shipping package would be a whole lot cheaper too.

    All shipping companies suck. It seems to be a constant rotation between all of them seeing who can be the worst.

    yep, i see crazy stuff like that all the time. I've also had 2 credit card payments in the last couple months that are checks mailed by my bank take over a week to arrive. The places are 4 hours apart.... they just changed to e-transfers so at least they hopefully can't f that up anymore

    We had to stop using USPS when packages were being stolen left and right. Way too many to be a 1 off thing.
    FedEx is usually the best but also the most expensive.

    After finding out USPS let's ANYONE with a tracking number reroute a package in transit we won't use them unless it's PO box.

    There’s a UPS driver that I get 9 times out of 10 I ship with UPS, pretty nice guy and treats the packages right. Doesn’t say much about the company itself though

    Just loaded 91 performance on my 04B04. The truck has 35" MT tires, 4.88 gears, and a few hundred pounds of armor and "stuff." Loving it so far, tip-in is going to take some getting used to even with my heavy truck, but I think I like it better. Hitting redline in 1st and second getting on the highway sounded pretty killer with the aFe intake and exhaust :D Excited to tow the camper with it this spring.

    I was happy with the last version of 1.05 though, this is just extra betterer :cheers:

    Click “Flash it” on toy flash and then select the tune. Don’t try and select the tune first

    2018 sport AT 4x4. 7k miles so far. Not happy with the throttle response and transmission behavior. Overall performance pretty much sucks! Like others, I'm considering getting a different truck but I bought the truck with the intention of keeping it for a long time, not trading it in after 6 months!! I'd like to avoid losing money in the trade in process, and of course dealing with issues with a different truck, so I'm considering the OV tune. I would rather spend $700 on new wheels, but enjoying the driving experience is more important. Any recommendations to get me over the hurdle of dropping $700 on software?? I'm sure others found themselves in the same dilemma. Any input is appreciated! Also...is the OV software ECU/VIN specific? Meaning the file can't be shared?

    DO IT! It will transform your Taco. And yes, it can't be shared.

    Are you perhaps running the app limited version of Win10? There are installations that limit you to software from the App Store. You have to convert the win install to a real install before you can run other 3rd party stuff. Common for tablets and things like Surface go.
