    FYI, Toyota dropped an update to all 3rd Gen Tacoma 3.5L ECU’s on August 29th, 2024. All Cal Id’s will be updated and the only real change is the DTC that will be present if you use a block heater and cold start, if that makes sense. Nothing else changes besides the Cal ID for the ECU. If you’ve gotten a tune from Brody of Downhill Dragon Tuning or a tune from me, I will update you to the latest version free of charge as a part of my lifetime support for tuning. This is also an oppurtunity to update any changes made to your truck since then including tire size, gear changes, AGM battery, or additional engine performance mods. Again, Downhill Dragon and Triple C previous customers get free lifetime support and I will gladly update your ECU and tune to the latest version. It’ll take me about a week to input all the data into the new files. Takes about 2 to 2.5hrs per Cal ID on 3rd Gen Tacoma’s for me to input every map. Matt from VF Tuner said they’ll have support for all of the new Cal ID’s by the end of this week. Hit me up if you’d like to get updated.

    Oh, someone else may chime in, but i have lived here for 7 years or so.

    San antonio is sort of big and sprawling. Traffic can be bad and the whole city is under construction it seems.

    As far as "how is this place" it is what you make of it. There are some things I do like about it, but some things I can't stand.

    Pros: Nice trails all around the city for walking, there are nice areas to explore, people are generally friendly, cost of living isn't terrible.

    Cons: traffic and bad drivers, heat, lack of outdoors (it's not awful, but could be a lot better), we are in a pretty bad drought.

    As far as work goes, depending on your field, it can be rough out there.

    Not sure if this helps at all...
