    Past tunes were not detectable. The current version will be. Not a big deal. If you visit the dealer a lot, flash back to stock.

    i was a bit confused as well. my understanding from Mat's posts is this is due to the calibration designation change (not keeping the same calibration name like 04B12), which he decided to make because table structure was altered so significantly. so that's more easily discoverable. therefore flash to stock before a dealer visit.

    is this the reasoning? I'm just curious, also not concerned about warranty.

    I am seriously considering OVTune at this point. Even if it's to just smooth things out. The gear hunting is :censored::annoyed:

    I think so
    But as it has been mentioned, you can't flash back without killing any codes in general.... So if you want your dealer to see the code, then that is a problem. So you better have your story for the dealer. 'I disconnected the battery because i thought it was going to light on fire' or something...

    Not trying to be a naysayer, but I don't think this has been thought thru fully to its conclusion yet....

    After re-reading my post, I just wanted to say I wasn't trying to snap at you, I just got grumpy thinking about the truck and all its BS. I really hope 1.05 is the magic bullet.

    Yep!

    BTW, you win the prize for the most electrical tape used on a chazzled AC cord.

    It's like when my EX wears a skirt.. I know what's under there, but I don't want to see it.

    Alright "OG" Dongle owners.

    04B04 1.05 Standard can be downloaded here:
    Stock, 87, 91, 93 octane tunes (without options / gear lock / etc)

    https://mega.nz/#!83xVRIKB!kY9wimt9Deb1ctF3Qe8hy0qP03ItG1TS4pWkgvutSYE


    Note:
    1. Truck will need 25-30 miles to complete trimming cycle
    2. Truck will need various drives / load / rpm to complete knock learning cycle(s)
    3. Transmission shifts optimally when fully warmed up
    4. I do not expect anyone will encounter any issues, as I have tested these extensively on my truck, but if you do, please let me know first
    5. Do. Not. Use. 93. File. With. Anything. Lower. Than. 93.
    6. You should have zero idle issues, surging idle, etc, lurching at lower rpm, etc. (throttle is very controllable) but if you do, tell me!
    7. I would love to hear highway feedback, or feedback in general, via zendesk.

    anything else, please send me a message before the forum. Thanks!


    (files will also be accessible by flash manager when released).
