OVTune or KDMAX

My truck weight is 5,250 and I run around 60 to 70 mph depending on traffic .

 

In the old days, we called that the Fat Kid. It was the whole reason for the performance tune (Full Otto). Hahahaha! That will hopefully be the Tow tune when there is an update.

At those speeds, the Taco really isn't stressing unless your climbing the Rockies in summer. Of course, it is great that you are monitoring the situation. You're ahead of the game.

 

like straining up a hill pulling a 5100 lb trailer?
230 pan 250 tq. Changed the fluid a few weeks later after 55k miles for the first time. No funky smells and look slightly darker than fresh. I use OBD fusion

 

Obd fusion same here

 

Is the weight of my truck on the heavier side of a Tacoma aka fat kid

 

What would be the normal heavy weight for a Tacoma

 

I thought you had a bumper along with the lift and tires? Cresting 5k empty would have me thinking that.

 

Yeah I have the lift, tires and bumper

 

Well for sure I'm in the 6k club when loaded down with all my gear

 

There's nothing wrong with being heavy.

It sounds like it is doing well overall though.

 

Yeah no complaints happy Toyota Tacoma owner

 

185* is normal operating temp, cruising, without excessive weight. Pinning the tstat will lower that by 10* or so with good airflow through the factory cooler. Works well just cruising or towing.

 

Hey Dana,

Let’s get you in OTT 7.0. It’s been refined to address some of these concerns and I can reflash you Saturday evening on my way to Seattle if you like.

Happy to chat more in person or via phone. Let me know!

Just switched from KDMAX Pro+XT to the OTT tune and I've found that OTT is a significant improvement. Smoother shifting throughout and holds gears better, especially at hwy speeds (5th & 6th gears). No more lag and upshifting like before. Take from someone who started out with OVtunes, then KDMAX tunes, and finally OTT tunes; OTT is the best IMHO. Thanx John for a great tune!
