Here are his contributions to the site. With your grammar and punctuation you are a perfect fit for a GMC. Good luck and bye bye.

do yourself a favor, just return it. worthless

dont count on better mpg. none for me.

i have 285/60/18 with 4:10s. that is about a 31.5 inch tire. i like i my gears for that size tire, but any larger i would of wished i went with 4:56s. i was going to get 285/65/18 for my next tires (32.5 inch), but now after driving with the 4:10s i will just stick to the size i got. at 75 mph i am doing about 2500 rpm


my airaid tbs did absolutely nothing. no better or worse power, or mpg as far as i could tell. put it on a while after k&n intake. just made a little more whistle. i did talk to troyer and they said the exact same thing as some of the posts in here: some have had good response, some bad, and some nothing: said it just depends on what your engine wants or needs. as for me, it was a waste of money. in fact just took it off today to see if it does anything different after being tuned by troyer. (they said to give it a try)

got my xcal2 on sunday. it rocks!!!!! i only have 200 miles on the 91 max so far, so it still has to do its adaptive strategy. it pulls super hard from 3500 to 5400 and as it shifts, it just launches even harder. can't wait to do the datalogging and fine tune it a little more. still have yet to try my 91 tow and 87 max tunes. i really recomend this bad boy. its really worth the money. oh yeah forgot: my dads got an 06 extra cab powerstroke f250 with a workhorse cpu. we raced when he got it and he easily pulled me. now we raced again: dead even. OH YEAH!!!!!!

ya. i just put 4:10s in mine and now i have a shudder. i have changed the fluid about 5 times since and so far the best improvement has been with motorcraft 75-140 synthetic with 2 bottles of friction modifier. the shudder is still barely there though, so i might try a half bottle more. seems like the more miles i put on the new oil the better it gets. ill probably wait a couple hundred more miles before trying the half bottle more.

I was driving around earlier and I came next to a Duramax and it sounded like the engine was self-destructing... wait, that's Izuzu engineering for ya.

At least a Powerstroke and a Cummins have that awesome, well-known diesel noise.

Enjoy your Duraturtle and Genuine Mechanical Crap. Make sure to come back when you've had enough of getting towed back to the dealer and you trade for an F250 or F350.

Actually the stats on the new duramax are better than our famed 6.4. Its a 6.6 now and has 15 more hp and 10 more ft-lbs of torque. The acceleration stats are superior for the duramax and in fact the duramax is faster than our F150's, but the SD is not except the 45-65 test. This is all according to consumer reports.

I dont think consumer reports knows crap about cars and even less about trucks. They always report that honda and toyota are tops. However, I would assume that they could get some acceleration and braking tests right.
