At the end of the day there’s always going to be someone unhappy no matter what you do.

Everyone drives and uses their truck different. At this point people have the choice of TSB, 1.04r, 1.05 or wait for custom tuning to get what they want

Exactly my point sir!

I must be technologically handicapped as well. I tried downloading them with the firewall and antivirus turned off and it seems to have worked. But as soon as I turn the firewall and anti virus back on again, it won’t allow me to open either tactrix open port or the P5 Flash...

Google how to make an exclusion with windows 10. Worked for me.

Seconded. 20 miles isn’t enough to make judgments.

I had 800 on 1.05 Highway tune , 300 1.05 , and got 40 today on new 1.05. It settles pretty good after about 5 drive cycles and yes if you feather it then 1st -2nd might feel a little weird to some. If your like me and gas her it’s smooth as butter

Things usually seem to really settle in for me in the 300-500 mile range. For me that’s usually only a day or two of driving.

So. I've set 1>2 back to shift like the TSB to test and the downshift clunk returns. Did not change shift points or anything else.

Also, you may notice that on 1.05 when you are off throttle the truck will upshift (sometimes) and your RPM will stay low. This is for a reason, as it helps maintain speed and makes it so the truck isn't slowing down any time you're not on throttle (unlike TSB, where you're decelerating quite quickly any time you're off the throttle). But when you are ON throttle, even 5%, the shift points are at different RPM points and axlespeed points than the TSB. This is one part of the TSB, or any prior tune / stock ecu that I felt was less than desireable. That literally any time you're not on the gas the truck is slowing down, and slowing down quickly. Requiring full time on the pedal to keep it even moving.

If you enjoy or prefer the shifting to be like the TSB, where you start decel any time you're not on the throttle, or you want the 1>2 shift to be like the TSB, then send an email request for it and I can make it. If you get a downshift clunk... well it's one way or the other. I've tried practically everything else.

Remember, this is 1.05 Standard, without any options or customization. Suited to try to relieve issues in the stock drive-train (clunking, bad mpg, etc).

That’s awesome.

Holy crap. And all this time I thought it was my larger C-load tires I put on a couple months ago doing this i.e. making it hard for my truck to keep speed. And it minimizes the downshift clunk? I'll take this version. Dongleless please

I just hope that the full release of 1.05 isn’t delayed due to every reported issue that isn’t experienced by everyone. It seems the majority of feedback is basically rock solid.

I would rather have it out there for everyone and then patches or custom tunes be released for issues. No one can reasonably expect this to be everything everyone wants, especially with the scope of the changes.

Nah. If anything this helps work out the bugs for the next group. Nothing wrong with staged roll out.

I didn't have the clunk on the TSB

Agree to disagree. What may be an issue for some may not for others. Staged rollouts are fine and a good practice. But fine tuning for the few should be done afterwards.

Same. My mpg dropped significantly with the tsb.

TSB clunked on mine.

JaTe · Dec 22, 2018

Anyone tried both 91 and 93 tunes yet? If so, did you notice a big difference?

Thanks.

Unfortunately a lot of people have this issue. Your truck is also capable of things no one elses is, like getting 30+ mpg, shifting great on tsb, etc.

It's very likely your truck is the exception not the rule

Is it the 23rd yet J/k Mat!

Hans7 · Dec 22, 2018

600 mile trip tomorrow. Was realllllly hoping it would drop today.

Either way, can’t wait to try this out. Sounds like Mat has absolutely improved upon 1.04r which I already love.
