Who's going to be watching your truck while you're away?? Probably don't have to worry Detroit's a nice safe city.

Are you going some place warm, right now with the wind chill it's -20 degrees here in snowy VT.
I have good neighbors to watch over the TT while I'm away in Az in the sun!!


As an update to the thread, after my first morning commute with the tuner, the truck is MUCH more responsive on the freeway. I never really had an issue with its performance before, but now it knows what to do IMMEADIALY! Throttle repsonse is great & it downshifts in a snap and your off! The tranny acts very similar to the bimmer when it's in 'sport mode'. The only diff is the bimmer with hold its gear for a long time before upshifing and lowering the 'ol RPMS... its pretty cool...

Did you raise the Rev limiter and set it to the SuperChips shift points with the 1714? That will make your truck hold its gears longer. At WOT, I get mine up just over 80 MPH before it shifts from 2nd to 3rd gear. It shifts somewhere around 5100-5200 RPM according to my dash gauge.

Sorry, not that... say you floor it and let off the gas... the bimmer will not upshift for quite some time... it holds the gear and waits for you to tromp on the gas again for neck-snapping acceleration! Even with the tuner once you let off the gas it upshifts and drops the RPMs right away. Not a bad thing - the big V8 isn't meant to spool up like the little I-6.

D, Have our girlfriends been hanging out together or what???
They must!!! God bless 'em!!!
