Hey guys,

I was talking to Nick at JDM about tuning ORM to improve throttle response. He said it should be possible although they haven't done it because nobody else has ever asked them to. I can't be the only one who thinks ORM sucks. It's very laggy and has poor throttle response.

If anyone else is interested in getting ORM tuning, speak up now. If it's possible to improve ORM, I don't know why it hasn't been done yet.

Off road mode is purposely sluggish, it's so when you are in a slippery situation you don't spin the tires. At least that's the way I view it

It is sluggish and would be great to get better response.
I use it for better shift points and the ability to downshift with just a blip of the gas pedal.

I enjoyed ORM when you're hammering whoops or bumps and your foot presses in from it on accident, it doesn't affect where you were at throttle wise. It's very linear.

ORM purposely changes the throttle response to be near linear on purpose, yes this gives it a sluggish feeling but it is on purpose.

I really like ORM in all conditions. The only change I would make would be up in the 5-6 gear area. 70 mph and the truck is still sitting in 5th gear. It would be nice if it kicked into 6th gear if / when the rpms become consistent for something like 5 - 10 miles.

Having said that, I would rather leave ORM alone, and tune the two / three stock settings (normal, sport, advanced) tunes to mimic ORM with just a revised 5-6 gear shift change.
