Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Any realistic estimate as to when those of us (former) dongle users that have mailed you our dongle and subsequently emailed you our System ID for p5Flash, can expect to received an activation key?

 

Sorry man. Those positions are tough to be in. PM if you want to talk, or rant, or whatever.

Peace.

I'm on 33's with a good amount of weight, and I've been on the fence regarding 4.88 vs 5.29 for a while. I'm leaning a little more toward 4.88's, especially after running the numbers on the speed vs rpm. With a good amount of freeway driving I do, I'd lean toward keeping the RPM's lower at higher speeds. The chart below shows a good comparison of the different options.

Lifted. Front and rear bumper. Steel rims/heavy tires. Roof rack. RTT and bedrack. All = shit mpg = SPG (smiles per gallon)

I’m also running about 20-25 freeway miles plus 10 back road miles each day to and from work.

 

Don’t do any towing. You’ll be back in 4th again non stop. I also like that I know if I want to go to 34/35 I won’t be under geared (like stock)

But I also only drive 70 on highway.

 

Ticket

 

You are supposed to be in 4th for towing, 5th and 6th are overdrive gears for higher speeds. if under e-rated 33's or heavy 285's I agree with 4.88's and also run them and I tow 4,000lbs. The 5.29's with ANYTHING under 33" would be annoying and guzzling gas at freeway speeds above 70mph.

 

Welcome!

 

This ^

plus no interrupt air flow mods ex// roof rack, bed rack, spare tire on rear bumper

 

Welcome to the forum Rafael@OVTune! Glad to have you aboard.

 

@OVTune,
Mat, this is your statement that is not correlating with the data.
I dont see "some port usage" under your specified conditions.
See the group of data points in the middle of the graph.
1.Rpms 1606/load 78
2.2032/84.7
3.2011/79.6
4.2117/81.5
5.1881/89.4
6.1464/83.5

The flag in the far right is the idle, tons of idle.
Thanks.

 

Yep...I was only referring to At’s..I should have specified that.

 

Vlady, I explained it to you exactly how I set it up in the ECU.
I have already said I will make some changes to it.


I am not having this discussion any further on this forum. If you would like more information or direct feedback pm me or send a ticket. All of this only ends up going in a bad direction here.

I still do not see any CSVs from you. It is difficult to interpret the exact data through screenshots.
If you really want more information then message me appropriately.


Also, when you log make sure to log ABSOLUTE load, not calculated.

 

That's what i'm running, heavy e load 33's and i'd estimate about 200lb of added weight. Havn't had gears long but best mpg corrected for tire size was 17mpg that was 90% highway uphill to about 6k elevation and back down to around 100ft elevation about 350 miles. My normal average around town is around 15mpg. I'm sure i could get better highway mileage on a more flat highway travelling a bit slower around 60~65 i'd bet i could see 18+. I absolutely love my 5.29's and wouldn't even consider 4.88's after running them. I could see where someone would want an even lower ratio with this truck honestly. hope this helps.

 

Right on.
I did add absolute per your advise.
So it reads like this now
5. 1881/89.4/94.1

 

I need to see the CSVs and exact break points. It is difficult to see what RPM and exact load point, coolant temps, etc just from screenshots.

and if you like, in your ticket I will show you how I set the tables, including table screenshots.

 

Towing is 5th or lower per the manual. Page 194

 

Sure, at freeway speeds its easy. I agree, but uphill thats impossible with anything more than a 1,000lbs with 4.88's. The tune helps it stay in 5th and 6th uphill without towing anything.

 

I will do that. Like always
Will ya fix misfires on cold engine while you looking at? The issue is there since 1.05.
Or do I need to buy some app and fix myself?
