    20220606_102415.jpg I was Kevin's @SH7mi first customer. Great guy! Had him tune my truck on my work trip from the Jersey Shore to Baltimore. After updating my ecu we got the "sport" tune in. Man!!! Throttle responce is GREAT! GEAR hunting using my cruise control GONE. ONLY went threw a 1/4 tank of gas and the taco is a whole new truck! Highly suggest this tune and if you're near South East PA GO SEE KEVIN! Thanks again! Let's go fishing! Haha -John

    Rob's 2021 TRD OR with 285s was almost just what he wanted but suffered from poor acceleration response and wandering gear hunts at times. Now he is running KDMAX Pro+XT with the normal throttle option and is really happy he now has the truck he wanted! Enjoy the tune Rob, great to meet you today! I look forward to following up with you for a longer-term review!

    @TacoTuesdayNJ,
    It was a pleasure meeting you. The logistics worked out for us, you traveling for work. Hit me up if anything else is needed for the tune.
    Tight lines.

    Appreciated Michael! Pleasure meeting you and getting your truck to a better place. These trucks are schizophrenic and need therapy!

    This is good news!!! I have a friend with a '16 4Runner, and he's wanting to get it tuned. So I'll be passing this information along to him tomorrow.

    Wahoobie stopped by a couple weeks ago during one of his cross-VA turning days to set me back to light from normal. After I got the tune last year, I met up with him a few months ago and upgraded to the latest version AND switched to normal throttle... it was a bit too jumpy so he fixed me up!

    I can't say enough good things about Chris and the KDMax tune.

    I also got 28 mpg (on the highway only, 24 mpg for the "TRIP") up to DC hauling 650lbs in the bed.

    Please forgive me and my newbie-ness, I have tried searching, but am still not sure what all is included in a KDMax tune... is it hardware and software?

    Seems like I am going to be wanting it, so any help would be much appreciated.

    (Still building out a 2022 SR5 4x4, hope to be purchasing within a month)

    Many thank yous in advance!

    If you want to DIY, you need the Software, Tactrix cable and tune files. @wahoobie can help you with those.

    If you want a tuner to tune your truck, look at the locator map to see who is closest and get in touch with them. https://kdmaxprotuning.com/locations

    If you go to the first post of this thread, that is where most of the information is.

    Had an Ahh-Haa moment yesterday. Running AC vs. not has a very significant impact on MPG. Temperatures in my area are starting to drop and I did not need AC on the drive home and managed 25 MPG vs 22-23ish on the same route without the AC on.

    Much appreciated!!! I am in contact with someone somewhat local who does these... any thoughts on if it voids the factory or extended warranties?

    If the dealership hooks up to your tuned truck and identifies the ECU, it will identify as the stock configuration. So the only way that they will know it is tuned is if you tell them. Many of us have had our vehicles serviced and repaired under warranty with the tune installed. So far, no problems :fingerscrossed:

    One good thing about the DIY route is that you can flash your truck back to the stock tune whenever you bring it in to the dealership, then flash it back to the tune afterwards.
