I checked the website for updates again and it only transferred two crom files. Images and loader. No others. I loaded the 91 Octane tune back on this time with parameters adjusted after the tune loaded. I adjusted the MDS to disable and throttle response to 18%. Attached file. The MDS stayed on while in Drive not autostick. You can definitely tell on my car. However, when I put it into autostick and started out in 1st through 4th at 40mph no MDS. I then got up to 45 -50mph and put it into 5th and no MDS. This did not work yesterday with the 93 tune as I tried autostick and normal drive and MDS came on with both. Now this may sound dumb, but I use autostick more than D for drive. So most of my driving will be on 8 cylinders and when I go on long trips I can benefit from the 4 cylinder mode. I do not think it is supposed to work like this but I like it. Anyway, any time there are new tunes for a car, no matter what the car, there is a learning curve. I learned this from my 11/12 Mustangs
mds off here.

give this a shot
Will that work for all trinity tuners or is it married to tacamo01's?

My car feels like a true 400 HP car now... thats the positive side. For the automatics it makes a huge difference, cant say for the manual.
Before the tune the best 0-60 I ever got was a 5.1 and that was only one time. I usually pull a 5.3 to 5.6. The first and only time I tried after the tune 5.07.
I will try to upload the file soon

OK, if your MDS wont disable, restore the stock tune, load this update, and it should be fine

After another gut wrenching moment... my MDS is finally turned off.
For the second time, in the middle of storing my original back up, the trinity and my evic freezes. Says to turn the key off but when I do nothing happens, the trinity still says turn key off and the dashboard stays lit up like the car is on. Eventually the dashboard turns off by itself and I have to unplug the trinity in order to get my car to respond. After I plug the trinity back up everything loads and its fine but its a scary moment.
Mike, I have a video of the problem if anyone is interested in seeing it.

this was with the new update?
FWIW, you can;t really cause an issue when saving the backup, if that keeps you from wrenching your gut
