Boggin/jumping during 1st and 2nd gear 6 speed MT

Man this Tacoma World is pretty cool, sure I come here to get grilled but at the end of the day you guys have some great info!

 

Thank you for the feedback and the comforting words! lol Loving my truck so far and I ain't ever going to play stingy with the 4x4, I don't know what I was thinking not using it in the first place.

 

So 4lo is only needed to crawl and go over some steep hills?

 

If I’m off roading I’m usually in 4LO. It’s slower and more controlled. 4HI is for snowy roads in the city.

 

Same.

 

Engaging low range also engages 4x4, your front wheels should have been spinning.

And i find in this truck, the traction control can kill the engine and buck & jerk quite a bit doing it, especially in sand and moreso in High range.
Lo is what you want in the MT in sand

 

Yeah my truck kept stalling due to TCS

 

You can turn it fully off with a long press at a dead stop. In the “off-road” trim, traction control is off by default in 4lo unless the “ATRAC” button is depressed. ATRAC does not interfere with throttle

I still have my accumulator (i have vacation this month and will remove it)

I also have ovtune.

I still get this jerkiness at low throttle but i think it is more of a electronic pedal thing.

It's like the truck is jumping back and forth between engine braking and throttle on.

My fix is to use a higher gear which makes the engine braking effect less pronounced.

I've watched the throttle with tech stream and at very low throttle it jumps between 0.14 and 0.84 which pretty much confirms my suspicion that it just doesn't like that tiny input.

 

Did you do try the Resets in FM? I had some stalling and low throttle issues the first time that I flashed. After doing the Resets, it was like a completely different truck and tune.

The ADM only changes the clutch engagement stroke. It makes it linear and direct.

 

Yes i have reset lvs and also tried various versions. I find the higher octane times the be better overall.

This jerkiness was there stock as well so it's not like the tune caused it.

I'm also aware of what the adm does, why i need it and why everyone else needs to do it. I just work a lot and haven't had time to Dremel that bugger.

 

Excellent. Just checking.

Luckily for me, the tune has solved my jerkiness. Hopefully there is something in the future or in vF that might help you out?

 

Sounds like The OP needs a drivermod
