That may heat up the bay, but I have a procold down in the front of the quater panel so doubt thats an issue - besides, that wud thro a different code. Shud I be trying to turn off my O2 sensor? R/

OK first off, what was your baseline dyno?

Second: did you start with the Mag tune? If so 12.2-12.3 is a good AFR for a mag, that is what I personally run.

Third: Please PM me or e-mail me: brian@magnusonproducts.com about who you are dealing with at Mag. Please keep names off of the public board.

So you made an additional 100 rwhp and over 100 rwtq on the mag tune? And it ran fine with no codes?

I have no idea...dynos were done in 3rd gear, 2wd - not awd with the OD off and on. If the traction control is part of the tune, I'm gonna assume that Mag has that...R/

If your truck has traction control it will be located on the left of the steering wheel with a T/C on it. I am going to step out for a bit (not in office today) and I will be back later. There is no need to be upset or pissed off, I will make this right.....

I need to know the answer to my above question:
So you made an additional 100 rwhp and over 100 rwtq on the mag tune? And it ran fine with no codes?

I have no T/C button. (04 Z-71 Avv 1500). Ran fine on the dyno, threw codes once I got on the highway. Originally lite came on and then went off afetr a few mins, and always when coasting post boost (@ 10-20lbs vac). Then it stayed on permanently and blinked occasionally during same conditions as above...all on original Mag tune. Trying not to get pissed, but after this am't of cash, and way too much time with no trouble-shooting from Mag I'm extremely frustrated. PLUS - MY WIFES CAYENNE-S, BONE STOCK, CRUSHES ME OFF THE LINE- AND SHE CAN'T DRIVE!! R/
