Advantage of OVTune?

Like i said, you can buy individual tunes for your ECU id from some TW members. Thats what i did, i bought 2. The guy was very helpful and offered it to me. I can probbably PM you his name, ill just have to ask him first. You just have to know your ECU id. Different years have different IDs, also there are TSB factory flashes that update your ECU ID for better "drivebility" . I had that done and my ECU id was updated from 04A7000 to 04A7100. 04A7000 was stock ECU ID for early 2018s.

I did not buy the tune pack from the website.

Hope that helps.

 

You unlock additional id's by purchasing credits from ovtune, the person helping you would handle that.

As for determining your ECU ID, the person flashing your truck can figure that out too, you can make an educated guess based on your model year and whether or not you've had the transmission tsb done.

 

Yes, with taxtrix cable and the software its easy to find out the ID.

 

Awesome, thanks guys. My next step is find myself a guy local or reasonable distance from me who I can talk to and get things moving.

 

Yes, much cheaper option.

 

Out of curiosity if you were going to buy a single tune for an auto, which would it be? I don't have 93 available near me enough to go for that. I wonder if there's enough difference between the 91 and 87 tune to justify spending that much more on fuel?

 

You should try your regional forums, there are people in most offering the service.

 

Also, there are much more knowledgeble guys than me and will explain everything to you a bit clearer. Im still not 100% on how all this works.

 

There is a big difference, you can feel it. But if you're only buying a one off flash, I'd get 87.

It's a big difference in feel, dyno numbers aren't super impressive.

 

From what I've seen AZTW is much more dead than it used to be. I'm sure there's someone though, might just take some lookin around.

 

Socal might be an option if you're willing to meet half way. Most socal guys wheel in the desert anyway.

 

I bought the premium tunes (91-94) , its available everywhere and it has no ethanol which i like. It was a no brainer for me, since ive been filling up with 91 E0 since my truck was new. My truck sits 5 days a week, so i dont want ethanol.

 

I also understand that its a truck its not meant to be driven for speed. I just want a little extra for my drives on some mountain passes out west. And some 265/75/16 wild peaks are in my very near future and will add some weight in comparison to the crap summers the dealer I got the truck from put on it.

 

If you put 91 in a 87 tuned truck, it will adjust to make more power, just not as much more as if you had the dedicated 91 tune.

 

Any experience with if you have the 91 tune and don't have 91 available. Seen more than a few gas stations out by me and places I've been when I day trip to ride bikes that don't even have 91. In car tuner world that's a big no no.

 

It won't damage the engine, but will run really bad and is not recommended. This is why I run an 87 tune, 91 is not available everywhere I go.

 

That's what I figured. I'll be out in Reno for school next year so need to look what they got around reno and Tahoe. Also since your from CA you'll have better idea than I, Do people consider Reno/Tahoe North Cal or south. I want to say north but don't wanna get yelled at if i pop my head into a thread and mis speak.

 

From what i understand, his tunes are octane learning. It states that on his website. Also, it states "you will get deminished performance if lower octane is used".

Just a small bit from his site, these are MT tunes though.

 

I'm from San Diego, so I consider it Norcal.

 

I was wrong, premium tunes are 90-94.
