    LMAO. Dad and son walking to the park. Son sees two dogs getting it on and ask dad what they are doing. Dad answers - making puppies. Next morning son walks in on mom and dad getting it on and says to dad - turn her over I want puppies!

    Just to be clear I'm not intending to control/silence/ avoid any public negative feedback. Please feel free to openly discuss. Just understand there's a difference with observation and issue.
    The idle issue was a perfect example. People send it emails, I reviewed and collected, sent test files, fixed. Wasn't on the forum until I mentioned it.
    Getting stuck in 4th, or bad cruise control is not something I have observed, or test trucks. So that's an issue that needs my attention before the forum.

    Or the dropping to 5th at low speed. Very, very simple way to reverse that. I set it as such for better mpg at very low accelerator, and so the truck wouldn't be decelerating so quickly, and setup shift to give a quick downshift if you want to move a little quicker. Some enjoy this, others don't. Again, very very easy to make it not do it.

    Getting stuck in 4th was not observed ever on my truck or test trucks ( mine trd pro w/ larger tires, bone stock truck, truck with larger, 33s and stock gears, truck with added weight and larger tires).

    The most important observation Ive seen from tester and this is that one tune simply won't work for all. That's why this is the "base." The platform to build on. Commuba (butchering username because I can't recall) this person's truck is a great example. On stock axlespeed shift points the truck hits the limiter and falls on its face in a shift. The axlespeed had to be severely reduced to prevent it. Totally unique to other trucks. I can guarantee others have his same or similar mods and their trucks do not do it.


    I'll be reviewing emails and logs (thank you for everyone who sent logs especially so close to Christmas).

    So it is my top priority.

    Great update. Also don’t forget to take some time off for you and family. We ALL understand that family should always come first especially this time of year. Me being in the military understand this the most. Sometimes you can’t be there with family. But you can and should do it. Thanks again for all the hard work and keep it up (after Xmas). Also can’t wait till you can move on and get turbos out next.

    Looks like my truck is 04B03. Can I use the 04B04 1.05 bin file that's been released?

    I took my BAMF sliders off and ordered some aluminum steps that are 150lbs lighter to see how my mpgs get affected with 1.05. I hit my head and may have killed some brain cells

    These bad boys are heavy! Cant wait to see what it feels like with 180lbs less weight for daily driving 1.05

    I'm running 315/75_16 (34.6") on 4.88s & 1.04r/91. I went from Nashville to DC and back, round trip average was 17.6 mpg. I'm pleased with that since I also have steel bumpers & sliders, winch and a shell, so I know I'm touting some extra weight.

    I'm not trolling, I'm just a dumbass. I'm hoping I could use the 04B04 1.05 update but am coming around to the reality that I probably can't...

    For what it's worth, he asked. There are some people who have just gone ahead and flashed anyway and then return to the thread asking for help with their "issue" lol
