Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

It's one of those things you have to try for yourself. Too much variability

 

Hello everyone,

we are having a little bit of email difficulty at the moment, are working through it, and should be back up soon.
Also please remember if you have a gmail account, emails are being sent to spam.

 

Been here from the beginning
Can’t read through all these pages
Still have a dongle
On 04b04
Is the 2.0 final out yet? TIA

 

2.0 final for the 6AT's without gear-lock or map switching is released, but p5f only. You'll either need to get vFT at reduced pricing since you're a previous flash kit owner, or trade in your dongle for the free conversion to dongle-less and acquisition of vFT

 

can I wait and keep my dongle?

 

You can do what ever you want but 2.0 final will never be released in dongle format. You must upgrade to get 2.0 final. Its free if you return your dongle. Post #1 has all the info

 

Ok this a lot to take in
I’ll Look into it
I’d like to upstage to 2.0
I’ve been on 1.05 since it’s release

 

You may be better off, not hating, just saying. Obviously you want to try it, but as someone who drove 7hrs last weekend on 2.0 premium non-thx, i dont know if the uPgRaDe is worth it.
Individual results may vary!

 

Need lighter tires...

 

Maybe a torquey V8 while i'm at it?

 

There are many ways to skin a cat..

 

Seriously though, i've got 265/70/16 AT, while they're not stock, they're not heavy for a pickup.

 

45 lbs a piece?
What concerns did you have on your trip?
I have 3 things that hoping to fix with VF thingy

 

37lb when new.
Main concern is that I need to hammer it to get it going under 3500rpm. In city driving, this is especially frustrating. Can’t imagine having to tow a trailer.

 

I flat tow a 2500lb-3500lb Samurai on 2.0 Premium THX 33” 5.29. I can’t imagine towing without regearing in these trucks. The guys who do it are brave.

 

How is it towing with this setup? I have the same, but have not towed yet. I really didn't notice much difference after having the gears done. Was hoping this thing would light up the tires, and is definitely not the case. lol Thanks

 

Towing is OK. Tacoma isn’t meant for towing no matter what gears you put in it. The brakes aren’t great (drums specifically because people wouldn’t tow with Tacos) and two overdrive gears aren’t great either. It gets the job done but I definitely wouldn’t pull a 4klb+ trailer regularly with this truck on anything but totally flat ground.

 

I just purchased VF yesterday and the email went to my inbox; just fyi.

 

Interesting.
I have slightly heavier an narrower tires, a moderate lift and don't experience any issues to get going or keep it up with traffic. I use 87 regular tune. I only use rpms above 3k when climbing steep grades and I want to stay above a speed limit.

 

Interesting. I run 275/65/18 Wildpeaks and I think this truck has great acceleration under 3500rpm. When I hammer it the trucks picks up speed quick. It's better for me than 19800 was and that was the best tune I applied since 1.05. I run 91/stock/non-thx.
