A tune is definately worth it if it's done right you should see better mileage, power and all around better drivability even on a bone stock truck.

If you take the time, follow the step by step procedures, definately! $100? most spend ~$400+ for a tune and NOBODY will ever tune as good as you can do it yourself if you spend the time on it.
