Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

It’s OBD for my truck and wife’s 2000 suburban. No visual

 

Excellent. Thanks

 

Wanted to post here that we are getting many orders and are going as fast as possible to get orders out, keys out, registrations, updates, etc.

 

How do I get the updated version of p5flash?

 

Uninstall flash manager
Download and install the new one

done, ok so p5flash was now replaced just by flash manager? When I go to flash manager I only see options for 1.05, 1.05.1 and stock. no 2.0, is this correct?

edit, NVM it showed up now for some reason

 

P5flash is a bundled application with flash manager.

You currently get 2.0 from here (MT you can get from FM)

got it, and successfully updated. thanks for the help. I appreciate it. do we still need to let the truck idle after flashing or can we just run it?

 

5-10 minute idle is still recommended, especially if you reset LV and AT

 

will do. thanks.

 

Havnt got a chance to test the 5.29 speed limiter Fix but hope to Today at some point and report back.

 

@OVTune

I was able to test. I BELIEVE it’s gone. I used to get limited to 83-84 and now I can get to 89 consistently and up to 92 going downhill.

I’m not sure if that is the speed limiter being moved up or being deleted and the truck just running out of steam on 33s/5.29s.

 

last time I tested it I was downhill. I was limited with speedo corrected right at 89mph 33s/5.29’s. It would have had no problem pulling faster at all With plenty of power but just would govern right at that speed.

I plan to test at the exact same place later today with the new test file. I will report back. Your results sound promising but very surprised it still runs out of power.

 

Does anyone else still get third gear convertor lockup/unlock under light to moderate throttle?

My truck is actually on 32's but the 33 tune seems to hold gears a little longer. Stock tire size tune also had the convertor lockup/unlock condition.

 

This is the biggest complaint with my stock truck. Third gear shift bogs, revs, then finally settles as the TC bounces around. Curious to hear if this is resolved with OVT.

 

The 04b04 2.0 tune seems to be getting the MOST complaints over the past few months. I have been running 19770 (2.0 beta), it’s much better “for my truck.” I would suggest finding a beta that is good for your truck.
I tried all of the 04b04 2.0 tunes on my truck, and NONE were as good as the 2.0 betas. It’s like there was a problem when they transferred the files for distribution. Maybe chose the stock files on accident.

 

My truck is back to short shifting. It's weird. It's almost like the tranny is still learning and trying to get good mpg

 

Oh yea, mine too. That learning is real!
Ready for that “complete 2.0!”

 

Is non learning a newer thing?

 

Thanks. I will hold tight a while longer and see if this gets resolved with the vF tunes. Hope so.
