    I downloaded and set up TS, but haven't connected to the truck with it since I was already on the latest TSB. Is there a write up on here for that sort of change?

    Its not that hard to find in the menus of TS. Then its just a drop down menu to select the # of blinks. That is if I remember correctly mine was changed a year or 2 ago.

    Yes. The exact same instructions apply to both. You just need to grab the AT software from Post 184.

    Now I feel dumb haha. I saw that thread as being all MT. I reread that post and of course it says AT. Thanks again.

    No worries. We just had that since the MT updates were hidden in the TSBs and we were getting even less dealer support.

    Cool feature I had on my last car, an Acura, was hit the unlock button on the key fob twice and hold it. All windows open as long as you hold the button, partially to completely down. Great on hot days before jumping in.

    So do I need to put my truck back to stock before updating the ECU? Or can I just use TechStream to get to 04B04 and then just redo my OVTune? I dont have a battery tender so will it take long to do the Techstream process?

    Also there are two files in the 62-18 folder: T-0034-18 and T-0036-18. Which one is the one I should use?

    Very interesting seeing the amount of Newbie action in the last couple days. Especially with the TS questions. And (Especially with a pending 2.0 drop) Anyone else smell something fishy?

    No need to flash to stock.

    If your battery is fresh, you should be good, but a tender is a good idea. It takes just a bit longer than an OV flash.

    I don't know which file for sure, but it is foolproof and will only flash the correct one.

    I don't know about fishy, but with it being the final days of a 15% off sale combined with the excitement around the final 2.0 drop, I'm not surprised that there are a lot of new users suddenly showing up.

    Your probably right. Just seems odd. Also a bit concerned about that TechStream Download that’s going around. Yes, it works but, where does that copy come from and what’s inside of it. Don’t mind me everyone. Been sick for a few days and been listening to too much news talk about the Corona Virus. Your ECU’s are fine. (Well, Hopefully. I updated mine through this thread and everything has been fine for the last 2 years so...)
