No problem at all. The key to driving in the snow with 2wd is good traction tires and knowing when to say when and when that fails use chains.

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
jimmy p

Unelss you have really deep gearing, your buddies will take you off the line.... badly. But once she gets wound up, she'll surprise them.

Any possible damage in putting the 5 star tuner on the truck?
I have a 3 valve v10 and I'm a little hesitant of doing some damage in the long run...
