    Should be 1.3.0 for OVtune
    1.3.2 for vf tuner
    Try the Vftuner one.

    I guess also to add when I use the P5F files for flash they work the issue seems to be when I use the VFT files to flash with.

    Use the vF flash utility. You can either launch it from within vf tuner or from

    c:\program files (x86)\ vf tuner

    1.3.3 is an old version of flash manager. You need to uninstall that one and install the new version. Then hit update. Should show 1.3.0

    1.3.2 is required for vft files

    When you download Vftuner, it’s put in a folder on your computer. In that folder is a file called VfFlash 1.3.2, open that file and use it to flash your truck.

    To flash vF files, you need to install vf tuner and use the flashing utility bundled with it.
