Getting rid of the MAX was the most financial sound thing to do for the time being.

Yeah Dusty knows his tuning. I have learned a ton from him, not to mention he is nice enough to let me steal his cable every once in awhile. He has tuned my past 2 trucks, and I have every bit of trust in his ability.

the 05 was the only one that wouldnt pull on toms truck. This one feels just as strong a the VMAX. I am loving the milage, but hating the tuning. These tables are insane, I am a retard with tuning but this is nuts.

Great looking truck. You say the 4.8 feels like it pulls almost as hard as the tuned vmax? What kind of economy is that 4.8 getting? Does it have the fuel management system on it? I'd love to hear how things turn out tuning this beast, good luck.

I got 395 miles on 21 gallons, that was beating the crap out of it from 3mi - 395 mi. No Fuel Mngt.

Charlie,

The tuning sucks, I gave Dusty his cable back, so I will hold off until the weekend to start back. Stock tune is back in for now.
