I haven't put enough miles on it to tell yet, but the last ole base tune worked pretty well gas mileage wise. I'll be putting some real miles on it in about a week. My daily commute is like 4 miles round trip lol.How is that 91 version? I am on the 1st 4.88 beta. Not blown away by it ,even think i was getting much better MPG's on 1.05 87 base tune
My averages were on the last tank. I went from SF up highway 1 to Jenner and back. My speeds the whole trip was 35-50ish. My plan is to try the 2.0 when final release is out and 4.88s.I have been getting 11-12 tops.
Beginning of NovemberAny idea when OVTune will re-open?
Any idea when OVTune will re-open?
I recently put 285/75/16 on my TRD Pro, and I have felt a huge lag in the power. Im very interested in the OV tune, but I am still very hesitant after trying to read the hundreds of pages of threads. I have recently seen a few used dongles for sale in the for sale groups on facebook. Would this be a good idea? I understand I would still have to buy the license, and install it. The OV tune threads are a little overwhelming for a newcomer.
I was the same way before I bought it. $700 for a tune? Could it be as good as they say?Following...
I'd like to hear more feedback on this as well.
Definitely been considering the unit too.

Short answer: It’s better than I expected.
You will notice a drastic improvement in acceleration from a stop, passing at 60+ mph on the highway, much better RPMs up hills, much better RPMs in general (under 2000 constantly), much better shifting (always staying in the appropriate gear), actually getting use out of 6th, much better cruise control, and improved gas mileage.
I’ve also regeared, and for me, OVTune provided a more noticeable difference.
Thank you, I have found a used handheld unit and I spoke to Matt via email. He said that’s no problem I could just email them and they would send me the license. I appreciate all the help.Yes they have a 87, 91 and 93 octane tune, pretty easy to switch between. I wouldnt run a 93octane tune with 87. I'm not smart enough to know why, but I cant imagine it's good for the engine

the guy i was going to buy it from sold it. I waited too long to pull the trigger. I was waiting to hear back from OV tune before i bought it. I did get an email back and they said that would be fine, I just needed to email them the info.I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Did Matt give you an idea of turnaround time? I did the same thing this week and bought a OV Tune from a dude getting rid of his TACO, now I just need a licence but OV tune I think is swamped right now with the new release.
I hope it works out. As soon as they come back in stock I am definitely going to pick one up. I just hope it doesn't take as long as some of the reviews have stated. From everything I have been reading it will be after the new update.I got one from the guy I bought my truck from - Mathew seemed to have attitude about it? I hope it's not a problem-still waiting to hear back- I really want to update my truck with this after reading all the reviews!
This is what I was told too.Mathew says they can't transfer the license- That I have to purchase one in my name $325.00 ? is this what other people have had to do??
Let us know what your impression is.I just bought a used one from a dude in Manitoba, I'm in Ontario. It arrives tomorrow. I received an email back from Matt at OV, a new license will be $325 US. So I saved a few bucks on the hardware due to conversion rate. Can't wait to install this tune, it sounds like it should be amazing.
I haven’t done much. Just ditch lights, grill lights, and tires. Was hoping to do the tune before I go too much into it.Hey RCA- it looks like we have the same Taco- 17 pro cement MT- What mods if any have u done? Also have u got your OVTune license from Mathew or waiting?
So with the 93 you just run higher octane gas? What happens if you run 87 with the 93 tune? Sorry im new to this.
