vF Tuner for the 3.5L Tacoma

I believe you could make that work.

 

I am going to have to give this a try as my first try at changing anything . If it goes well I may become hooked , but it is intimidating to me . From a google search I found I need to change the ETC up shift and down shift tables , and just adjust the gear I want to the lowest number in the table for that gear . like 30.xxxx .

 

If you are using 1.2.9.5 please update to 1.2.9.6. This update is required if using 1.2.9.5

Thanks!

 

Is there anything wrong with holding out on 1.2.8.1 or whatever until 1.3.0 release? Just not wanting to guinea pig anything and have everything working ok right now.

 

1.3.0 is coming soon enough so no need to update if 1.2.8.1 works for you right now.

BUT if you are on 1.2.9.5 then this update is required

 

Question for anyone willing to deal with a noob. I’ve had the flash kit and 2.0 tune for quite a while and just upgraded to the VFtuner and have a few questions. Will I get the same tunes to input that were released for the 2.0? Are credits only used when tuning another ECU? And finally I’ve read a while back about updating 04B30 to 33 through techstream. Anyone have the link how?

 

Yes. The 2.0 Tunes are identical between the Flash Kit and vF. vF just uses editable VFT / VFC file formats.


As of now, credits are needed to Unlock ECU IDs and individual VINs. Credit costs are cut in half.


Yep. TechStream is the way. The 1st Post of the ECU Update thread is all that you need. See the link below.

 

Hey @OVTune or anyone that may know. Would the changes to the system ID verification process (now that it’s not a step) in these newer updates mean that I would be able to use multiple computers with my master key and login? I reg’d my crap laptop at first, but I’d really prefer to move operations to my newer surface pro

 

Maybe I’m missing something but, to me, it seems like you are wanting S mode to do what S mode already does.

 

You can install it up to 3 times / 3 computers,

 

S1,2,3,4,5,6 is for the regular drive, opposite of what you would think I know.

@Stormpeacock put this stuff together.

Can someone please give me a knowledgable answer?
I am having OVtune done this week. I have lil dinky pizza cutter dedicated winters on 16s
I will be getting the tune for 33" tires.
I may be driving a week or 2 with the dinky winters before i switch back to 17" rims with my 33" ko2s
Will this cause any probs or issues or will it drive funny?
Cheers

 

It will be fine. The shift points may be slightly off, but you probably won't even notice.

 

Yes , I want normal S mode below 4th gear . In 4th and above I want it to be able to be locked in gears 4, 5 and 6 ,and needing a manual shift from one to another .
The normal S mode when set to limit the truck in 4th gear , allows the truck to down shift to 3rd when it wants to . This down shifting to 3rd is what I want to eliminate.
This setup would also eliminate Mat's original gear lock necessary shifting of gears 1 , 2 and 3 every time I have to come to a stop and start up again , enjoying the reason to have an auto transmission in the first place .
It is hard to fathom unless you have used gear lock when it was available so I hope this makes sense.

 

When I think about it, plenty of people go from stock to 33 or 35" tires all the time without touching their ECUs. It's probably not ideal but it'll be fine

 

Is the THX recommended if you're running 33s? And does it eat up the possible MPG gains some get with a tune?

 

Well considering how bad they have been for 4 years from factory lol it may be slightly better lol

 

Thats why I said you won't even notice. The difference from stock to tuned is so massive, the other improvements will overshadow any minimal shifting difference with tire size.

 

Esmode stops the truck from upshifting he wants to stop the truck from downshifting unless he tells it to

 

Hey guys! Has anyone had experience with the tune and a hyper tech in line speed calibration?

I have this currently installed. Do I take it out before the tune? Does the tune do this for me? Or can I leave it in?
