Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Sounds potentially dangerous.....

Also, be aware that major releases of Win 10 update the machine ID also. And Microsoft forces those at some point unless you are an enterprise customer. You may be including that with the word "upgrade", but I thought I would mention it just in case. Not sure if the same applies to Win 7 or "minor" OS update/upgrades.

As long as Matt is healthy and in business, it appears we are good to go since, as posted, Matt has said he will handle it "on demand".

 

I asked Mat about this specifically in a post many pages back. His answer/post was "not a problem." I made my purchase based on his answer and the product reviews. I'm pretty sure Mat is a man of his word based on history and results.

 

No way this thread is this quiet

 

Sure, Mat is on vacay, and so are most other guys who have the tune I'd be willing to bet. I just got back yesterday from mine, had some catching up to do.

Still no turbo pics

Speaking of vacay, fully loaded truck with 1.04 91 Oct up the coquihalla, got 11.9L/km on the way up, and 23.5 mpg on the second part of the trip which was all through high mountain plains at 80-90kmh. I'm pretty damn happy

Unlikely I will be able to get anything done until the 9th/10th. Sorry, the Wifi here is some special 5ghz incompatible with my laptop.

 

All you people getting 20+ mpgs with these stock tires and I'm over here like, "Who the fuck runs baby tires on a Toyota Pickup?" I'm 17.5-18 mpgs running 285-70-17 BFG KO2s Load Range E with 4.88s. Gears are the fault of the low MPGs but damn at the "haul ass-ness!"

 

Had big tires, was gonna spring for the gears to boot, then found out about the second kid on the way. Then gas hit over 6.25 gallon in my little hole in Canada. Then went 120k over on my house build....So yeah, the stock tires went back on. I put 1600-2000miles a month on my truck so it makes a difference.

I wish I was in the no F's given boat still.... Maybe next year.

 

I got 25.6 today with my baby stock tires at 75 mph+ today. How is Fort Rucker by the way?

 

Bought my truck Aug of 2016, put 500+ miles per week until Jul of 2017, then made 2 trips from SE AL to Miami and back, a couple of military summer camp trips and I'm at 40k miles. I have about 10k miles on the 4.88s and would only trade them for 4.56s!

 

Rucker is still here. I am from Enterprise origionally and now reside in Headland just North of Dothan. I'm in the AL Air Guard, full time technician...

 

67N20. UH1H 66-60875 a very, very long time ago. Lived in bldg 6912 in splinter village.

 

It's a shame they don't make 4.56s for the elocker rear end yet.

 

After driving over 1000 miles on the tune there are a few of things I would like to see in 1.05. When I'm going around 35 mph on a flat road it will shift into 5th putting it at 1000 rpms when I let off the gas, then if I need to maintain speed it will then shift back to 4th when I give it more throttle. (I'd rather it stay in 4th). Also, I've noticed the shifts from 2-3-4 when not giving it a lot of throttle are not as smooth as when I give it more gas through the gear changes/higher rpms. I would also not like to see 6th gear while ect is engaged. It also does not like to shift into 4th unless I'm 30 mph or greater putting rpms around 2k on a flat road where 4th gear would be more practical. I'm running larger tires 275 65 17.

 

Way too expensive is right. I was just there earlier today and the fuel cost is ridiculous. Add in the cost of living and all the things I can’t do or own there and I don’t know why anyone would want to live there.

 

Ohh mpg discussion is back! This was across northern Nevada earlier today. I’ll have done about 5,000 more miles by Sunday. I think I have a problem…

 

I just wish I had the 8.75... When the truck is paid off, I'll be opting for a Tundra 10.5, adding an E-locker, gearing to 4.88, and then throwing a D60 up front, with an Elocker, on ORI struts. I'll prolly 4 link the rear. Then, I'll buy a Tundra or F150 Ecoboost to haul it hahha

 

Drove nearly 100 miles of the Blue Ridge parkway yesterday. Last time I did that drive was about this time last year - before OVTune. I remember being so annoyed with the throttle lag and bogging and how it was so hard to time those 3rd gear pulls to zip around tight curves and switchbacks. Yesterday was a lot of fun... glad the parkway isn’t heavily patrolled . My wife says I forget I’m driving a truck and I guess I do. Threw some new Cooper AT3 4S on there last week and it was a blast zooming over the mountains, often in storms with solid grip and plenty of giddy up! I know the truck isn’t a sports car but one of the main reasons I drive a midsized vs full is for agility so it’s nice to be able to lay on it and have some fun!

 

@OVTune I just found this on my OBDII connector. It wanst there before and I definitely did not put it on. Any idea what its for? It looks like an extension going to another connector next to the firewall next to where the wire harness comes through. You seem to know a lot about this trucks ecu and I thought you might know best

 

Way to have your priorities in order. That demonstrates good character of a family man.
