Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Ron1965... I PMed OV on here and my yahoo emails were in the spam... he got right back to me and found my ticket

 

Always......learned that the hard way..That’s why I think they be spammed.. Mat’s always good about responding..#2879

 

I'm dongleless and have hit the DTC and LV Resets in FM for the last two tune loads. I am not sure if it made a difference on 2.0 Beta 87, but on 1.05B 87 FOB, it was like night and day. The tune felt so good that it was a hard decision to try 2.0 Beta. The other thing that I noticed was the mileage was always high by 0.5mpg compared to hand calcs. Since trying the Resets, the MPGs have been off by 0.1mpg max (about 5 tanks now).

So for me, the Reset have seemed to do positive things.

 

A reset always yields better results for me as well. Undeniable data driven results

 

Good stuff!

 

Anyone on 2.0 feeling like 3 into 4th gear is a little too quick. Maybe 500 rpms off? Or is it just me

 

2.0 public links are down pending update

 

04A60?

 

Hope this means 91 octane being enabled and options with and without Gearlock

 

I went from 1.5 87 base to 2.0 87, 250 miles now, 100% stock, no difference in MPG for me, so far (i still get 20mpg highway when cruising 75mph, and 21mpg surface streets if i drive easy, 19 if i drive hard).

 

us 04B04 guinea pigs will make sure its right before the rest of y'all have to suffer thru this testing period

 

Yes, i may have noticed this a few times, seems to vary depending on the load - I'll start trying to pay closer attention. It's so much fun to drive now that i forget about the shifting sometimes

 

You on 87 or 93 tune?

 

93

 

Amen, I hate driving my truck and would do anything for the 2.0 file.

 

Cool. I wish I could get 93 here.

 

Before 2.0, my truck ran best on 91 Base with 93 octane fuel.

 

Same here

 

Finally got around to flashing my truck. Running 87 base on 04B02 on a 2017 TRDOR.

Maybe 250miles on the tune, and I'm on the fence about where to go from here. I'm not in the happy place that all you guys are at just yet.

Throttle tip-in and power seem improved in the first 3 gears, but keep running into an issue on 5th gear downshift. Truck seems very reluctant to downshift from 5th. If i give it a little more gas, it goes to warp mode in 3rd, instead of just a mellow downshift to 4th.
In this specific scenario, stock was better. Other aspects seem good, except I'm still only seeing 16mpg unfortunately.

Any suggestions or ideas on what's going on? I'm planning on going the techstream route and getting updated to 04B04, but maybe I should just fill up with 91 and give the 91 tune a try first?

 

but the 3rd to 4th early shift, the struggle is real
