Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Sweet! Thanks y’all!

 

Thanks!

 

After ~15min just doing some back roads here I’m super happy with it. First time in 17 months of ownership I can comfortably use Cruise Control! Stock, I’d have it set, then a small incline would come along, or it’d get windy, or I’d try and click up 2-3mph, and I’d immediately bog up to 2800-3000RPM. Smooth as butter now. Off to more testing in a bit!

 

Oh boy here I go!

 

I didn't turn off ignition between flashes.

 

Borrowed a computer to transfer files to my dinosaur laptop.

 

Sent an email @OVTune. Wanted to share something I ran into while out driving.

 

... do tell...

 

A deer

 

And that would be...?

 

I'm sure either way is fine, I just did it since there's that pop up after each 'Write' session that says turn IGNITION off or whatever.

 

A puddle

 

Oh you didn’t follow what PCM flash told you to do?

 

Damn!!! Took it out for a spin and... WOW!!! Such a difference between 1.02 and 1.03. Looking forward to tomorrow’s drive into work.

 

Ok lets hear how good it is

 

Can feel the difference in ECT mode and in regular mode immediately. Both in D mode and S mode. Smoother acceleration. Holds gears as Mat said. The cruise control stick is no longer something that teases me cause I couldn’t effectively use it. Well worth the $$$ and the wait for the new tune. Curious about the next one released tomorrow considering that MPG isn’t taken into account. More power?

 

any one having problems downloading the files from the flash manager? I have all AV off, but still no go.

EDIT: I had to uninstall and then re-install the Flash Manager.

 

Reading the gear box before I flash to the new one. Wife is annoyed with me. Hahaha

 

I went for a cruise on the highway and then went on some dirt backroads, probably an hour worth of driving. I must say it is very fun to drive now on and off road. S, D and ECT all feel like completely different modes now. Easily able to spin the tires in the dirt while sitting still or cruising. Better gas mileage on the highway while obviously putting down alot more torque than 1.02. I am very happy how this version turned out!
