    OVTune VF Tuner | OVTune - Tacoma ECU flash tune options and feedback

    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 got your order and will get to work making your 37” AGM files tonight. I’ll have to look and see about the Apple Pay, we require the signature during checkout for the agreement of our policies (digital product that is automatically delivered).

    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...

    Correct. Product name will remain the same until the next full version. Updating the listing name would cause the downloads to not work for previous customers (the system will essentially revoke your download permissions.

    Ziggy was correct. We still produce tunes in VFTuner using the stock files provided. What was meant by the never purchased OVTune is that we never purchased OV2.0 files. Our purchases have been the software, pro upgrades, and credits. Taking the included stock files, we developed valley runner

    It’ll be a long day or two on the dyno. Re-running VR for the 2.1 update version, will be running the sport tune, and then swapping to the AWD dyno to run the 4Runner. It’ll be on a truck running 3.90s and 31.8” tires, essentially bone stock

    I’ve been looking for that myself for months. Decided against a regear since I won’t go over 33s personally. I believe 4WheelParts in CLE was capable of it but the tail end of spring they were booked a few months out. Might have slowed down some since it’s getting towards the end of toy season...

    Thanks Tyler We do have AGM battery tunes, when you flash your truck please check your set up with a volt meter to ensure the charging. If you need a custom AGM file to facilitate your set up, let me know and we’ll get it sorted out. We were built between dyno and the butt dyno. We haven’t...

    It’s when we update. You can check and get your 2.1 files from the downloads section of the website once your ECU ID is updated. 3.0+ will end up being a separate purchase, albeit discounted for the returning customers

    Closer to Navarre or New Philly? The hills down there are KILLER to these trucks! OV is pretty great but it needs some help with gears, especially in our area.
