    Anyone that went from 9 to 10… is it worth the cost to upgrade?

    My opinion is, yes, it is worth it. 9.0 was the best, 10.0 is better.

    805 Tacoma Tuning always strives to provide our customers with the best service and support that the KDMAX Pro Tuning network is known for.

    Late in the day we received a message from Brent asking some really good questions about the service we provide. He was looking to eliminate the sluggishness and erratic shifting of his 2021 Tacoma Off Road on 33" tires and improve its overall drivability and performance.

    We responded, and that's how it all began..

    After our Q&A session, we attempted to work out some scheduling details. Ultimately we determined that there was no better time than today!

    805 Tacoma Tuning is always prepared to support our customers.

    We had him tuned up with our Sport throttle setting and on the road before the night was over. His test drive must have been perfect because he never came back!

    We received a message shortly after that read "Bro...I cant...stop...smiling" - Brent

    For us, that's what it's all about! See ya around man!

    ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

    We share the same excitement as our customers knowing the benefit they will receive when they request 805 Tacoma Tuning to bring KDMAX and their vehicle together. The results are shocking .

    Improved driveability is the goal. This is achieved by:

    • Optimizing Air/Fuel Ratio/Economy

    • Eliminating Erratic Shifting

    • Improving Throttle Response

    • Increasing Horsepower (20hp) and Torque (33ftlb)

    Met up with Dennis out in National City. Dennis was a long time KDMAX customer and he was mistakenly talked into trying a competitors tune. He was super happy with his KDMAX tune. After getting tuned by the competitors tune he noticed the overall drive ability that he enjoyed with KDMAX tunes was gone. Highway driving on the competitors tune was not enjoyable at all. On a vacation trip he took his wife was making comments to him what's wrong with your truck? After that trip he knew he had to get back on the KDMAX tune. Dennis likes the extra response so we set him up with 10.0 with Sport throttle. He texted me after his commute that " I love it. The shifting and power is back" Good seeing you again Dennis glad you are happy again on KDMAX-10.0! :thumbsup:

    Jon (@TheReal_JonWick ) is a returning KDMax customer who recently traded his Tacoma for a 2019 Tundra TRD Off-Road to accomdate his new little one. He needed some help getting his new truck registered with VF Tuner, so he reached out to KDMax founding partner Dave Durand (@TWTaco . Dave put him in touch with me as the nearest tuner, and Jon brought his truck up this morning so I could help.

    After chatting for a bit about his new ride and his 2 previous 3rd gen Tacomas, I set him up with our KDMax Pro v10.0 tune with "Normal" throttle tip-in and sent him on a test drive. He returned with the "KDMax smile" that makes the whole tuning process so worthwhile! He commented that he could feel the power come on quicker with the tune while maintaining a manageable throttle tip-in.

    Thank you Jon for trusting ADK Tuners to help with your KDMax Pro tuning needs! It was great meeting you, your wife, and your little one. If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out!

    If you're looking for KDMax Pro tuning services in the upstate New York region ADK Tuners can help! Shoot me a message today!

    Thank you Mike! Great to meet you and get the tune on the new truck. KDMAX and their awesome network do it again! Tundra is driving smooth and the milage went up on the way home already. Acceleration comes easy but is controllable. Look forward to continued driving. I highly recommend Mike. Very knowledgeable tuner who can answer all your questions. Shout out to Dave (@TWTaco and KDMAX for best in class customer service.

    Luna Taco just keeps getting better.
    STILL WAITING FOR THE HIGHLANDER!!!!!!!!

    Only downside (if you'd call it that) is that all my fill ups previous to the tune were 325 to empty. All 3 after have been 321. About to make it 4, probably on the way home from work today.

    It is just so nice to have the throttle/engine connection. Before, I'd have to calculate if I could fit AND how long it would take the engine to speed up into that spot. Now, it's just will I fit.
    I honestly had to go back and look, do I have a 6 or an 8? Cruising along, apply the pedal, go faster. None of the previous jumping down in gears and the wife glancing over to see just what the heck I'm doing. Press, go.

    Cruising speeds seem to be a bit higher as well. I'm at just over 6100 total miles, so maybe the ECU is slowly moving up that cruising point.

    I WANTED to take it to Vegas this weekend, for a real long-range trip. But apparently since niece is letting us stay in her time-share, we have to drive them too. I really don't mind if they sit in the back of the Access :stirthepot:

    Thanks for providing us an update Unclewede! It was great running into you and gathering feedback from you as well the other day.

    As I have said before, it just seems to get better with time. I firmly beleive this is the 1st step in making these vehicles perform the way they should. Functionality over esthetics first and foremost.

    Soon as we have support for the Highlander, you will know!

    Talk soon,

    Just an update. Been running the 10.0 version but tweaked a little bit on the shift points. Just got done with the regear to 5.29s and 35s. Now after 500 miles or so. Approximately 300 highway and the rest city and not to mention the stopping for the break in. Current mpg is little over 19 on highway and around town seems to be 17-18 mpg. Extremely happy with this setup and big shoutout to @PapaRee for the help through messages. My speedo is calibrated too. Thanks again for all your help.

    What goes with a new lift, wheels and tires? The KDMax Tune! Finally got to meet up with Pete and his 2017 TRD Pro after he had his wheels, tires and lift installed. He went on the KDMax 10.0 “Normal” throttle setting and was extremely happy with the results after his test drive.

    If you’re in the market for the most up to date and refined tune on the market, please reach out to us with any questions.
