KDMax-Pro Tuning--NOW YotaWerx Tuning

Don't wait. I got mine at 1800 miles only because my tuner couldn't get to it sooner. The learning does not resolve the problems. It will still settle in again after the tune.

 

Over 3 mpg gain?! I hope I can get close to this

 

YMMV… he is driving with socks on, I got steel toed boots.

 

OH. I drive the same. But if I can gain a mpg or 2, it'll all be worth it

 

My observations at this point is most of customers are reporting gains in MPG. On Average it’s more like 1-1.5 MPG.

 

Possibly have to go through EPA re-certification? That would be my guess. I'm quite sure that isn't cheap. Then, of course, you'd be admitting your engineers screwed the pooch. As others have stated, the vast majority of buyers don't think it's that much of an issue.

 

That may be part of it, but as another person noted, they've already issued a few TSBs related to the AT that has moderated some of the shifting issues. I think also that as an engineering team, they are keeping their product well within it's design capability, i.e. hesitating to over-optimize what they don't really have to while the GEN3 remains what they are producing. I imagine numerous changes in GEN4, because that is what will be expected.

 

Granted, I have made a conscious effort to keep my foot out of it since having it tuned. On a recent trip with a lot of highway driving, I set the cruise at 72MPH instead 80, in town I haven't been running from red light to red light like John Force at the Winter Nationals.
The 21.1MPG mark is certainly not an average but it's a hell of lot better than the 17.5 I was seeing constantly.

 

I have had three of the third gen Tacomas. I hated the way all of them shifted. I was very upset with Toyota but I have been driving them since 1979. Toyota did not fix the issues because not enough people complain. Without my tune, I would not have kept my current truck. Life is too short. I was very relieved to find out that a tune was available to resolve Toyota's problems.

 

I don’t normally post about the trucks I tune, but I couldn’t resist with this one. Holy cow! Check out this giant RC car!

 

Looks mean!

 

Could you imagine if Toyota sold a Tacoma like this with a turbo V6 “Rapta Killa”.

it looks mean for sure!

 

I'm joining the tuned group tomorrow at 42k miles. Excited!!!

 

Looks mad and ready to pounce.

Met @sonhn317 today to get my truck tuned. Did the normal throttle and have to say Im really happy with it. Beating a dead horse here but this is how toyota should have sent it from the factory! Thanks @PapaRee and @TWTaco for this tune and @sonhn317 for stopping out in my area to tune my truck on your way to Chicago for the tuning event! Another happy customer!

 

I was OV tune but I actually couldn’t tell the difference between stock and OV. Thought maybe I drove too conservative, maybe the shifting was slightly better? Ended up pretty disappointed with it, so I thought all tunes were kind of a sham or all in peoples heads. When Dave saw that I was really disappointed with OV he reached out and asked me to try his tune.

Soon as I pulled out his drive way I could tell right away how much better the truck drove. It just drives so much better now. No more lag, fuel mileage is improved. I’m a believer! Don’t even bother with OV or anything else!

 

Quick initial take from a customer on his way home.

 

Just had KDMax tune done. Guys, it’s the real deal! I can’t tell you how much better and more fun the truck is to drive. I smiled from ear to ear on the drive home. Thanks to @Phich for taking the time to explain everything to me before making my truck amazing.

 

2017 OR MT 99k miles with some extra weight.
Installed pro xt agm regular over kdmax this morning, took it for a spin.
Noticed some subtle improvements at idle, acceleration. Pulls noticeably stronger at 2-3k rpm for the short spin to the paint store and gas station. ( Sherwin-Williams has a sale on right now).
Decided to install sport, wow much better pickup and low rpm smoothness.
Going to enjoy this upgrade.
