I read with interest the story on the kid with the Tacoma...and I'm not sure this is the best option...though it's an awesome option.
Expound: FreeEMS is exactly that...open source freeware for engine tuning. Whereas the product first linked in the opening post is commercial and already developed, this is still being developed right down to the user interface.
Something like Speedpro or what have you, is already engineered, just ready to have someone tune it. (sounds so simple, right?)
...which leaves me...right here...with nothing...sorta.
The big question in my Monster Energy drink addled mind is...how many ECUs do we have in our truck? I was searching this morning for about an hour and found that we probably have 3 or 4?
- Engine
- Transmission
- Bodymount ECU
- ???
Engine and transmission are run through a single ECU. This is the one that matters, and what people figure you're talking about when you say ECU.
I think there are 10 others, but this also varies some, since the 4WD control systems differ between the SR5/TE and the Ltd, and stuff like specific feature ECUs won't be present if the option isn't on the truck.
