sheerider11 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Posted April 12, 2016 If you have a tow haul button on your shifter, he can put a mild fuel saving tune in. Then when you hit the tow haul buttons it brings up a wild tune.I'm sold Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Quote

special06shee Posted April 12, 2016 Report Posted April 12, 2016 Im being a little optimistic here, but i have never seen a tune being very effective in gas trucks. Every tune i played with was a complete waste. Quote

Every tune i played with was a complete waste.I had a super chips in. It helped a very little bit. But from reviews on line, people say a plug and play doesn't even compare to what they do. Said it's a whole different animal. And I'm doing the in person tune, people say that's even better then the pcm's he sends out. Quote

RagunCajun Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 A tune isn't as noticeable on gas trucks because there's no turbo and the entire engine isn't detune like crazy from the factory. For most turbo platforms, a tune is night and day. On gas trucks.... Not so much. Imo takes forced induction or nitrous to really make a difference. With an auto it still can feel lazy Quote

wayne_smith97 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 I don't know, people have said it's made there trucks into totally new trucks. I approve this. Ragin, most tunes are worthless in gas engines, but Blackbears. Only has tune I've seen that make you go "oh hell" when the tow haul button tune is used. Quote
RagunCajun Posted April 24, 2016 Report Posted April 24, 2016 a tune on a boosted diesel is more noticeable than a gas engine truck. that's what i meant. Quote
guns4children Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Anyone ever tune up their stock ecoboost? I still have a few years left on warranty so I won't be doing one anytime soon just wondering. Quote
