Well guys I am finally in the club as well.
Now that my truck is running correctly mechanically I finally took the plunge and got the 5 Star tuner & Y Pipe (my truck is an '04 so I had the very bad factory one).
I initially got the 87 Perf / 87 Tow / 93 Tow.
I loaded the 87 Perf and its quite noticeable.
I dont know how "anyone" sees any mileage improvements with these tunes though.
Its virtually impossible to keep your foot out of it.
I gave it a run up my favorite long hill (my personal dyno).
With 700 lbs in the bed it ran up that hill much harder than it ever has. I was at 75 MPH and had to get out of the gas before I knew it and it was still pulling hard.
This is all "without" my Y pipe installed, which should be installed next week hopefully.
I will likely stay with the remainder of the stock exhaust until the winter passes, then go for a Magnaflow. No sense in subjecting a fresh exhaust to an extra PA winter.
I cant wait to try the 93 Tow tune the next time I tow with all my buddies who have tuned diesels.
Two thumbs up for Mike and 5 Star.
Great customer service, nice improvement in drivability and power.
Cheers
