Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Get the regular tune, there is no actual tune for the crawl control (yet)

 

Thanks Anchovy!

 

In the flash manager, there is no separate Crawl Control and non Crawl Control file for any model year.

 

I THINK Matt just used that to try and better understand what the population of purchasers was like. (2 auto to 1 manual, or 10 to 1, etc... Just to get a feel for it.)
But that is just my thought

 

When in doubt he said best way to reach him is email. Patience though

 

I'm curious if my shift patterns after flashing are "normal." Can anyone confirm? The truck holds gears at any speed despite the rpms being 2000-2500. The shifting is actually worse than the stock tune to me. It downshifts very abruptly with extremely small throttle input and imediately goes up to 2000-2500 rpm. It's like the truck only wants to be at full throttle all the time. Im getting the idea that the transmission didn't flash or that's just the tune. It's not very "buttery" to me

 

ECT on?

 

Doesn’t sound like anything I’ve felt - I’d try reflashing. D should be pretty damn buttery with the downshifts

 

And you did get the TSB? Didn't you recently say you were on an unsupported trans version?

 

What’s the current wait time? Website says 1 2 weeks. Is that 1-2 or 12 weeks?

 

Yeah I had the tsb, I flashed for the most recent ecu amd TCU for 2016 04B03. ECT is not on

 

Upshifts aren't buttery either, but you're saying the gear holding is normal though?

 

No, I wouldn't say it holds gears too long on 87 w/o ETC.

 

Heavy on the gas it holds gear.
Light on the gas it shifts up.
Shifting is smooth for me.
Only thing troubling me is the cold low idle surging which apparently will be resolved with the pending update.

 

I

That's another weird thing. I don't have a lot of the other issues so many others are having. It's really weird

 

@OVTune can you advise me on if I should reflash or not?

 

If you are having issues no one else is having reflash to see if it fixes. If it doesnt then email him the issues you are having

 

Just reflash. Can't hurt.

 

Totally opposite for me. Actually, not even opposite...totally different.

If I'm already doing, say, 65, and I go light on the gas and try to accelerate smoothly to 70. I get no response until I've pressed the pedal almost half the available travel, then I get a forceful downshift and rapid acceleration.

If I'm more aggressive, the downshift is more predictable, but of course the acceleration is excessive and I blow right through my target speed.

With either method, I can't hit my target speed.

 

Curious, why do you need advice on weather or not to reflash?
