    I'm honestly not sure as I've never run into one in the wild here lol. If you get one and notice that your tune shift points are off from what they should be, a simple change to a stock gear ratio/tire size tune could remedy it. Sounds like the hypertech acts as a go-between and/or it modifies...

    There was a change between OV that made some trucks run worse a while back. I’m not sure if it was before or after the transition to the newer software.

    I believe these trucks calculate speed at the wheels. That being said, if ODO is ticking over much faster than it should you may have a faulty wheel speed sensor. it will also factor into poor MPG so you’re correct there. If you roll a half mile and the truck thinks you made it 1mi, you just...

    What version of OV2.0 were you running previously? You might need to reset the learning values and give it a bit to adjust. Typically gear hunting that OV still had is eliminated by VR files. The down low punch sounds about right, but the rpm at highway speeds sounds like 4th gear which isn’t...

    I believe we received your request through the website not too long ago as well. I'll reach out to some of my Texas and surrounding area installers and see what we can do for you. Worst case scenario, you could always mail in your ECU for tuning and have it overnighted back to you. I'll email...

    Glad you enjoy it! Even with those 37” tires it’s definitely an improvement

    We have eliminated the exhaust option with the v2.1 update. v2.1 is octane independent, meaning that you can run 86-93 without issue on a single tune. To accomplish this, we found middle ground on the exhaust timings that also accommodates exhaust mods for reduced back pressure

    Correct. It looks like you’re good to go. Setup the software with your master key, install the latest OpenPort drivers (VFTuner help tab at the top of the software has a link for it), connect your cable and flash the VR files we made for your truck. (y)

    That is pedal sensitivity. Standard and light pedal. We always suggest starting with the standard pedal and adjusting to light if the sensitivity is too much

    I'll start bottom to top since it'll be easier to answer. Our latest version is an octane learning/independent file. This means that you are capable of running the truck with regular/midgrade/premium fuel. We have gone this route since some users who were previously premium only fuel, have...
