Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I just paid $2.69 for it here today lol

 

been running 90+ non eth in mine since day one of the OV tune, install (and a tank or 2 before). in our area of michigan, it is about 3.20 per gallon right now. it is A LOT BETTER for the truck, in my opinion. Ski

 

I meant to tag @OVTune for this post. There, tagged

 

Non-ethanol is practically non-existent here in Arizona.

 

Pretty non existent in my part of California too, just regular 91 here is close to $3.50 a gallon...... California sucks.

Oh, I've looked. Six locations in a metro area (Phoenix) of 5 million people, a couple of which don't even sell fuel to consumers. PRACTICALLY non-existent.

 

For which file?

 

Figured out the issue, it was file locations not getting along

 

I’ve never run Ethanol in any cars it ruins the fuel pumps injectors etc. There have been many studies. Ethanol was introduced in the 80s to combat v8 pollutions. In addition I get more mileage from the 94 no ethanol because the engine works less to achieve the same torque bhp etc. Like an athlete that eats better. Vs eats McDonald because it’s “cheaper”. The athlete who eats better will run more efficiently. I’ve also clocked it. Over a 20 year span over multiple vehicles. TRY IT!!!

 

To chime in on this topic though, I've studied the true-gas print out I have at work so I can try to use as much ethanol free fuel I can....in everything if possible, so tired of replacing mummified fuel lines on my small engines

 

@OVTune I’ve got 1500 miles or so on my 2.0 Beta tune. Truck is a 2019 TRD access cab, automatic. When I really romp on it, like passing on a 2 lane road, it runs strong for a bit then falls on its face. If I let off a little, it picks up and runs strong again. It’s not hitting redline, feels like it’s too lean at WOT.

is this a known issue? Fixed in the 2.0 release?

 

Known issue and does it on my 2019 also. The other known issue for our truck is early shift from 3rd to 4th gear and life up to Next gear slowly.

 

Thanks, good to know there isn’t something else wrong.

 

Ethanol is only good for one thing - making $$$ for lobbyists, politicians, and the corn industry.

My track bikes are tuned to run 110LL (AvGas). I get it from the local small airport. Well worth the price.

 

Just had the dealership update my 2017 AT ECM from 04B02 to 04B04. Can someone please point me in the right direction for detailed steps to get the 2.0 beta files into my openflash manager 1.48.0. The old files were .bin files, but now they are either .p5f or .pcm files?
How to please? Thanks!

 

@OVTune haven't heard anything in a little while. Any updates on the update for 2018+ handhelds??

 

Finally installed. Flashed 1.05 87 base since I'm on 04b03 and not 04b04. Initial impression seems to hold gears better and fixed a surge i'd get after slowing down to take a turn that would happen when I went back to the gas. I'll see how it feels through the next week to know how much I really like it. Might try and figure out how to flash to 04b04 and try 2.0 because why not but may just wait until it releases and not worry about it.

 

Better re-tune it for 100LL
