Ok, let’s get the thread back to tuning.
I have a question for Term Limits....
Was a dyno used to make the Valley Runner maps? Are there dyno sheets for that tune?
I have it and am running it. I like it alot. The only gripe I have is when running high rpm's, it doesnt shift until I get out of the throttle.
Otherwise, the map makes my truck fun to drive again.

Remember, all the other tunes are done on OV/VF tune and are just further refinements of what Matt has done.
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 gone back since the official release m, however it’s scheduled to be done again in the next few weeks along side our 4Runner tune file.
We’ve never purchased OVTune and built everything from stock tune files. Matt and I have discussed this at length before, he has never taken issue with Valley Tuning since we have not piggy backed off his work.
I previously was helping out with the OV Ultimate files before my work took too much of my time. I discovered that the ECU/Injector fuse would blow on trucks running the factory 10A fuse as opposed to a 15A or higher. So I guess that may be why OVUltimate is delayed.
Perks to not using his tunes to my advantage is that we are more than willing to help each other out when issues or questions arise.
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
Maybe one day!Interesting. I wasn't aware of anyone else but OV/VF tune that had cracked the 3G ECU and had tuning software. If I order your tune, do I need to buy your software, does it come with it or do I use my existing VF tune set up?

So if we already have 2.0....do we need to re-purchase for 2.1?
Everyone offering tuning services is using the VFTuner software.
If you order a tune from a VF user, you can use your own copy of VF to flash your truck
Copy. I was confused by the statement “We’ve never purchased OVTune and built everything from stock tune files.”
I think it’s great that Matt has opened this up to others, really allowing lots of good stuff to happen.
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
I believe you purchased before the website days. If so, message me on here with your info from the purchase (username etc from other forums) and then the username of the account you create on ValleyTune.com
I will go through and generate a blank order for you to attach your files to that account. You’ll then be able to download your updated 2.1 files
I did download the map from your site, I will have to dig around for my information.
If you pm me your email I’ll find the account linked to it and send you a password reset link
@all tuner members, since some of you guys have been asking — I’m going to create authorized tuner accounts when I get a chance, since there are a handful of you guys here now. I just haven’t had a chance yet.

And whoever I’m forgetting.

This should be good enough for now.
I added a different shade of green and “Authorized VF Tuner” text on the banner.
Let me know if you want/need this

How can I get my hands on this? I’m not worried about a wait, I would just like to get in line
To get tuned, you can either contact someone who is local to you to flash your truck, or you can go to vFTuner.com and purchase the software and then either purchase tune pack for your vehicle to get tuned, or purchase a tune from someone offering their own tunes.How can I get my hands on this?

Looks like there has been a lot of good info covered here.
Glad to see @TermLimits here now.

I ordered my VF Tuner on August 6 but I haven't received it in the mail yet. 
I do have a custom tune from @TermLimits waiting to be flashed though.

A bit annoying that you can't actually track your order without downloading an iOS app to do it.I ordered my VF Tuner on August 6 but I haven't received it in the mail yet.
Thats a first. Do they have some sort of proprietary shipper or they just don't send tracking outside of their app?
Did you order with or without the Tactrix adapter? That's all you'd be waiting on if you did. The software itself can be downloaded from the homepage but requires a Master Key and username/password entered in to the software to get in. Have you received a Master Key yet?
You can also email their Zendesk with questions.

I have the master key already. So I can use the old orange device that I already have?
Edit: I don’t even know if I put the Tactrix adaptor on this order. Let me see…
You can use your orange adapter with the adapter. That's for your OBD2 port, allows you to connect and monitor, flash, etc. I'd forgotten you'd done the upgrade.
If you have a master key and everything else is set up, sounds like you're ready to go
