Just had the ECU re-flashed for the TSB's. Definitely an upgrade

    Got it in before the 80,000 mi. Emission TSB. It runs awesome, even on E before I filled it up. No throttle lag and the acceleration is smooth. For $69.21 I got a newly flashed ECU, oil change and tire rotation. "Ohh what a feeling"...

    My experience was the same. I considered the OVTune, found it to be cost prohibitive for a software solution, and while pondering, had the TSB done. Glad I did.

    ...and seeing the improvement of the TSB for me and then getting OVTune for even more I can just say it's evolutions better.

    If anyone in the Hampton Roads (or driving area) needs help with an at home TSB or tune PM away, I might be able to help with some affordable service! :cheers:

    I'm saying I would have gladly paid 2x what OVTune costs because of how much better my truck performed above the TSB improvement.....and the performance maps aren't even out yet.

    From my knothole, OVT was a similar difference to the TSB. Both were a big leap.

    The full version of 2.0 is a big leap over 1.05.

    I preferred to run 1.05 FOB during the Beta phase, but the full version is just excellent.

    If you don't want to go whole hog, some folks are offering flashes for much less.

    Yessir. I'm offering it up here. With the vF release, sharing / bartering is now a thing.

    @Shellshock is over in IA. @mZiggy is TX and some other areas with a friend.

    Well worth a roadtrip?

    I live in UT as well. I do have OV Tune on my truck, and the OBDII harness, I haven't been following the recent releases...But if you can email maps/tunes/etc, I'd be happy to help you out if that's even a thing.
