Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

What is this step 2 and 2019 test your talking about?

 

We will be making a 5.29 version for 2019 ECUs

 

awesome! can't wait.

 

Installing Techstream now, using @tonered 's download. Gonna upgrade to 04A61. I'll let folks know how it goes...hopefully will get to the update today.

 

It's relatively easy.....hope it goes smooth for you.

 

Thanks. The install is taking forever! My tuning laptop is not exactly a cray....(yeah, old reference, leave me alone).

 

I’m there with ya. But in 1975 the Cray 1 performed 160 MIPS. In 1996 the Pentium Pro performed 541 MIPS, and in 2016 the intel core i7 maxed at 318,000 MIPS. Chances are, your laptop isn’t that far from the original Cray.

 

...and in Jurassic park they helped make the T-REX from a frog. We know how well THAT turned out

 

It's asking me if I want to update to 14.30.022. I'm assuming that isn't required.....?

 

Skip that.

 

Like @G8R_Taco said, skip that.

Just double click on the CUW file. No need to launch TS for the ECU update.

 

My tuning laptop is old and slow.....even slower now that I had to update it to windows 10 from 7. Might have to get a new one if this one keeps driving me crazy.

 

Yeah. I got lost lol. The pdf is almost too detailed (not very straightforward). I was hoping for a Cliff's Notes version . Anyway, maybe I'll give it another crack tomorrow.

 

Just had the brake override malfunction on 1.05.

limped home and flashed to 19800 2.0 Beta for 04B31.

Idling now for a few, then off to take a drive.

 

Maybe im out of the loop but what the hell is that thing?! Haha

 

@OVTune (aka MythBuster)
Is one tank what it takes for a truck to get used to a new tune?
or
Is one tank what it takes for a truck's owner to get used to a new tune?

 

How’s the beta?

 

So far so good. I put about 10 miles on it after clearing all learning so it hasn't settled in

I ran it before for about 1500 miles, went away from it, and now that I'm back I remember why. I'm not sure if it's me, my perception, or my truck, but there seems to be some "drag" in the tune (for lack of better description). It just doesn't want to get up and go like 1.05 does (and I was running 87 Base). It's almost like a brake dragging or excessive wind resistance. Really odd

Maybe im imagining things and I'm 100% sure it will be flawless when the final version comes out
