Default Common uses for tuners

We have a blog on the best performance mods for your truck and as you can imagine tunes definitely made the list. We listed the top 5 common uses for them here. However, we were curious what other ways do you guys use your tuners on your truck?

To change the rear differential gear ratio, tire height, RPM and to kill off the erroneous reporting of systems that don't exist on my swap vehicle.

changing tire size, changing a couple body control module functions, swapping fuel/timing on the fly, monitoring/storing parameters that even the fancy upgraded dash doesn't have, reading/clearing diagnostic codes, data logging... and probably a few things i'm forgetting.
