If it's the old serial type, I don't think it will. If its the newer MVPI then yes, you will just need to use 2 credits to license to it.

i'm with you there.... i want to get rid of some of the throttle response lag if possible, and just free up some of the power the factory tunes out of them.

Its no secret that the new trucks have a crap load of TM. i would start by upping the line pressure and removing most (if not all) of the TM. that should give you a good starting point to start fiddling with it everything else.

Good luck trying to call, they don't have a phone number, . You probable don't have the most current calibrations, go to your home page at HPTuners.com, log into your account and down load and install the latest version of the software.
