I drove my truck for 2.5 years with the speedo off more than that. DEFINITELY not a good enough reason to avoid a tune by Wheatley or Black Bear.

I don't think the CAI does anything on the NNBS trucks. They do have alot of TM so tune will help out alot. It took Nelson a couple of days to get back to me. Wheatley also does a good job but I don't think he offers anything on a hand held. You could buy Hp tuners or EFI live. Blackbear will offer you a free tune if you buy the EFI live from him and I'm sure other sponsors on here will do the same if you asked them. You can buy programming and trans cooler all for less then 1000 and have the capability to change your own tire size in the tune. I have been doing email tuning from my tuner for two years now and it has worked out well.

If it has been that long I would definitely skip them then. That is too long to wait. Have you called or emailed Justin at Blackbear?

Get the software yourself. That's my advice.
