Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

My 2017 off-road 4x4 misfires a bit when cold too, but typically will maybe see a couple, if that, when it's up to operating temp. If it wasn't for monitoring it through the fusion app, I wouldn't even be able to tell it's happening. Happened on stock and happens on tunes.

 

Or the free techstream will clear them too.

 

Ok guys. The more I drive my truck, the more I like the tip-in. Approaching 200 miles now and it seems to have softened up nicely. I will try 19800 but I bet I will miss that giddyup from 19770! Best tune for my truck by far. OLE didn't work so well for me. Mileage started out decent but went downhill as it reverted to lugging a bit too much and not downshifting as soon as I liked. Still seeing a solid 3+ mpg pop too. Nice. Very nice.

 

Is anyone monitoring TC lockup with a Scangauge?

 

I have that too

 

My Scangauge is to old and doesn't have that feature. But, would like to have it upgraded.

Does the Torque Pro app have this feature?

 

I posted a while back about my mileage going down when I tried OLE from 1.05 performance. It was mostly recommended that I give it more time... I did but it didn't improve. I probably had about 800 miles on that tune.

I decided to try the latest tune, since I already had 93 octane. It seemed to drive great, tip in is a little harsh, I'd say more than 1.05 performance. I'm not sure I've seen much of a change in it like some have reported though.

I did lose another mpg ... about 300 miles so far on the tune. What do you guys suggest? Resetting LV and AT? I've never done that and maybe I should? I've lost a solid 4 to 5 mpg since leaving 1.05.

Thoughts?

 

I've had it since my truck was brand new. Drives me crazy. It's the only thing my truck still does to this day that drives me nuts.

 

Mine got a lot worse when I put on the bigger tires.

 

My experience on a61 is very similar. I’m back on 1.05 base while I wait for 19800. I reset values prior to loading it, put 200+ on the latest 2.0 and the tip in never calmed down, head jerked every time I touched the gas in traffic. I also lost mpg with the newest 2.0. Outside of this though, it did drive well.

Edit: ticket 10212

 

I can't locate the instructions on the site. I see the card but no other instructions.

 

Cables I think, to bleed capacitance from system. Cables disconnected from battery of course.

 

A61 for me as well... Sounds like we've had very similar experiences.

 

Get mine tomorrow. Will let you know.

 

I have the TRD exhaust.

 

That’s what I thought, I was gonna say I don’t think that’ll end well for me

Ok folks, I am going to post/ask this once.
This has been a problem with every single public beta release.
IF you want to post your experience on here, I'd like to see a ZENDESK TICKET NUMBER with your post.
We need to know before the damn forum does.

I've temporarily pulled the beta page. I'll post it back tomorrow after everyone has a crystal clear understanding of this.

Just a friendly reminder Zendesk first get a ticket # then post your feedback!

 

I contacted zendesk before Mat made the request to include the ticket #, but my ticket # is 9670.

 

Yah but you lose a TON of torque with 3” pipe. I’ve run exhausts on all my Tacoma’s and there is no reason to go 3” unless you are running a turbo or the like. I have stock pipe and an aftermarket muffler and it’s the deepest sounding 3rd gen exhaust I’ve heard next to no muffler at all
