Re-flashing resets the transmission log of what it learned so you can start fresh and have it re-learn. Turning off-on the truck does NOT do this.

 

Fair enough, disconnecting the battery does this as well. Transmission also learns over time if you driving habits change, it's just not as immediate.

My point was it seems excessive to periodically reflash with the same tune. Makes alittle more sense if you're flashing updates.

Luckily I have a 2nd gen and it shifts properly from the factory so we don't have to deal with all that Tune BS unless getting into forced induction.

 

Truck looks a little different today!

 

Damn that's sexy

 

Looks good but I’m a little biased LOL

 

Dang! Those pod lights look good!

tires and wheels are nice too.

 

She's coming together, boys. Rides really good actually. Deaver leafs went on yesterday. Wheels and tires today.

 

How are they are freeway speeds?

 

So far so good. Had them up to 70+.
Not crazy loud. Louder on some roads vs others, just like any tire. You can barely feel the lugs at parking lot speeds.

Overall, they are really smooth so far. Gotta give some credit to the suspension setup, especially the Deavers... but this seems like a solid tire. I hardly noticed any difference in ride quality vs the stock tires. Only mildly firmer. I'm really happy with the ride comfort of the truck.

Edit #1: So far it seems to ride best with about 350 lbs in the bed (the weight I had returning home from the tire shop). This is a good thing.

Edit #2: You can barely feel the lugs at parking lot speeds... Well if you crank the steering wheel to full lock while parking you'll suddenly feel that rumble, lol.

 

Looks super badass man!

 

Thank you!

 

Heading back out to Gifford Pinchot today to explore some new routes I made on Gaia. Hopefully we can all get up there in the next few months!

 

So I would like to ask a favor. What are y’all using for a receiver hitch lock if any? When I got my receiver, I ordered the Master lock one and it’s to short. I got it to lock once but that was it. I works fine on the wife’s 4R so not a total loss. I don’t plan on leaving the receiver in expect when heading out to trails. It will be stored in cab with other gear. I prefer a locking one just for my own sake. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

got some color on them after prepping but install will be delayed. Damn work lol

 

Looks damn good man!

 

Got the first round of color on mine too. I’m taking time between coats for a good cure. I’m thinking install might not be until next weekend for me. Getting my RCI front skid on tomorrow though.

 

May have added a new bumper and a winch...

 

Nice!

 

Looks great! I think when I eventually go down the winch road I’m going with one of the more low profile with a mini bull bar like that. Love that look!

 

Love the slimline style bumper. When does the light bar go in?

I'm holding off until I hit something, but then, slimline it is!
