Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Ah i see that explains the issue I had a few days ago. I was under the impression that gearlock was only active while in S-mode and ect would continue to work as usual.

Probably will be transfering over to regular 1.05.1 then.

Anyone knows if if you need to clear the transmission values again if you already did so while initially loading 1.05.1 gearlock? @OVTune ?

 

I need help guys. I tried flashing my truck and in the middle of flashing it stop and message appear that said do not turn off the ignition to avoid permanent damage so I did not and press retry then right before completing the flashing process thep5 flash utility disappear from the screen and now it wo t even open and my truch would not start i also tried updating the flash manager. All it does when i try to open p5flash utility is the word ready at the bottom left of the flash manager

 

No, the peak rpm is higher though at 6900 before it shifts

 

Sounds like AV quarantined part of p5. Disable it, reinstall, try again.

 

That what I did and it worked thanks

 

Woooo!

 

I have a 2018 TRDOR stock with the exception of 265/75-16 E rated Cooper STMaxx tires. The only difference I saw between 1.05 and 1.05.1 was in 1.05 performance tune (all octanes) my truck would stumble badly between 2nd and 3rd gear under WOT. 1.05.1 performance tunes do not do this. Otherwise they’re pretty much the same.

 

I have an ‘18 TRD OffRoad, stock wheels and tires but ECU A60. I haven’t tried any of the 87oct files for 1.05.1 but I can say my truck runs way smoother on 93 base 1.05.1 than it did on 1.05. I ran 91 base on 1.05 with 93 octane and that seemed to be the sweet spot. But so far 1.05.1 is smoother than that. I ran 93 base for about 500 miles on 1.05.1 and just recently flashed 91 base w/93 oct on 1.05.1 to see if it will be the sweet spot for 1.05.1. I reset all the values and did a 5min idle after flashing. I’m going to give this a tank or 2 and how it goes.

 

Just got my 10k oil change on my 19 TRD Pro and the sensor recall done. Running 93 GL. Didn’t go back to stock on the tune, they didnt say a thing FYI.

 

I don’t have Techstream but I’ve looked at how to download it and stuff. I didn’t think updated to A61 would make a difference since I’m already running the tune. But I may do it anyways just so it will be done.

 

The important parts of that tsb are already in the OVtune.

 

That's why I never thought about updating it. Is there any other reasons to update to the TSB?

 

Which tune version has everyone tried/liked while towing? I'd be curious if you monitor trans temps and if that affects your decision?

 

I don’t have a scan gauge or have used anything to monitor trans temps for towing.
Last week I was pulling a 900 lb trailer with 2700 lbs of wood (scale house confirmed). I’m on 1.05 91 base (with 4.88 gears) and it pulled it wonderfully. Even easier with ETC activated but I also tried without.

Edit: I only towed for about 20-30 miles and that was it. Town and highway tho

 

I’ve been towing my Casita (~2800 lbs) with 1.05 87 base plus ECT. The only temp monitoring I’ve done is via the idiot gauge in the instrument cluster. Seems to run the same as without a load.

I just updated to 1.05.1 91 base and will be towing again next month.

 

Cool. Loading up my 4,000lb 22' RV for the first time this season and haven't pulled tuned yet. Will update this thread with temps from the Scanguage as well.

 

Until there is a FOB option for AT, that is a MT exclusive tune.

 

Yes! Every time ovtune releases a new tune, u don't have to wait. Latest TSB tune always gets it first.

 

FOB is a manual trans only tune.
And yes, that is expected result with GL in Drive.
