    I need some info if anyone knows. I read and see videos how the OV improves performance by advancing timing and delays automatic trans shifting. I have gone to the site but there was no tech support for my question which is how does the upgrade work on standard transmission. Is there a different upgrade for us knowing our gear ratio. Thought about the charger upgrade but that is out of my expense range.

    Bought a single axle RV with a 4,600 max load rating and I pulls pretty good except the big hills stay in third gear and the manuals are known for the second gear lag.

    correct, for the MTs, Coyoza is the only way to go until something better shows, but that hasn't happened yet. Coyoza is the only tune i know that was developed on a 3rd gen v6 MT truck. all the others were developed on ATs which have even different gearing.

    I just got the Ovi tune on my vehicle Wednesday. Drove it 178 miles back from where I went to get the tune.

    I was told it can take up to 500 miles for it to really learn how you drive. The gas mileage there and the gas mileage back was exactly the same, and it’s exactly the same by doing the actual gas mileage not the computer gas mileage.

    The jury is still out. I do believe first and second gear seem to get up a little quicker. But that could just be the placebo effect. I’ll know more more I drive.

    Having towed with and without the tune on a MT, I’d never go back to being untuned. It’s very noticeable in 1st and 2nd under load.

    Feel free to reach out to me and I can help answer any questions your have. We have remote tuning options as well, if I cant link you up with a nearby tuner. I can also share more resources for MTs and reviews on the Coyoza tune vs OV and other tunes out there.

    I think there is a manual transmission version of the kdmax.
