Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Anywhere between 195 - 205.
I get spikes between 205-210 during city driving until I get into 4th at steady speed.
Definitely will be doing a drain and fill next week since I'm getting to 30K

 

325 i went this route. Found a cable on eBay for 115

 

Official tactrix or OVTune cable? Some knock-offs have spotty performance.

 

Holy Downshift! Came upon a stop sign on a backroad with a significant downhill grade doing probably 50-60mph. Truck in Drive, hit the brakes pretty hard on the slope and truck downshifted and hit 3500+ to help bleed off speed. Love it! Also noticed the smoother TC lock and unlock on some grades on the hwy that would have dropped to 4th. Instead, it did a partial lock and pulled the grade with no drama. I am also noticing it pulling grades at lower RPM with no drama. Now no biggie. Still, haven't had a chance to check it on the big I-70 pull yet. Running 2.0 Beta 4.88 tune with 33 tires.

 

saving a few hundred on the cable in short won't feel good long term if you fry your ECU and have to spend thousands to get it replaced. Don't cheap out on the cable, I have this from trusted car tuners not affiliated with OV.

 

Techstream download as iso? Wanting to see what all the fuss is with 2.0, so decided to bite the bullet and do the techstream update to my '18 Offroad. Found the download, but it simply extracted to an *.iso file. Usually to run something from that, you have to mount the file as a separate drive. Am I missing something, or is my aging computer-Fu weak now?

 

Update... tried the old 'change the extension' trick and now I get a 'not compatible with your version of windows'. Running Win7 Home Premium.

 

Official Ovtune

 

It was a ov tune one

 

So beta is not ready for 04b04?

 

Is ready, if it's still up that is
Only for 04B04 and iirc all are gearlock tunes
Follow link to dl the tune

 

Yep it’s still in beta. I flashed this morning and fell in love again

 

Beta isn't out yet for 2018+ trucks and only Cal ID 04B04 but there's still plenty of things you can tweak in techstream on your truck as well as having dealer level diagnostic tools. And so with Windows 7 you have to have a third party software to mount or that is open up an ISO file. So try out this app called WinCDEmu here's the link https://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/download/

I've checked it out online and couldn't find anything bad about it, just glowing reveiws so hope it helps.

 

Thanks! But i have a full tank of 91octane in the truck and there is no 91option darn!

 

Got it all figured out. And the bummer about versions.

 

The 87 will still run great. I had a tank of 93 the morning the beta was released, and I put 87 on anyway. No problems.

 

Same here but I’m just running the 87 version of 2.0 beta on 91 oct and it’s been awesome. I’ll go to the 91 version 2.0 when it’s available but in the meantime

 

So I dont know a whole lot about tunes, but would you be able to use an ov tune with a regear?

 

go back literally one page and read.

 

That is my understanding
