it really wakes that ol' girl up! snappy throttle response, and better shifting. I love mine!

So the five star tuning does nothing for mpg?

There's almost assuredly a potential MPG increase with Mike's tunes however the noticeable performance increase encourages one to push the gas pedal a bit more often just to feel the fun it delivers!

At the top of this forum there's a "I Like Mike" sticky that bears reading---pretty impressive guy he is!

I love the smooth pull the V10's have. 2nd gear on an onramp is

That's with a stock 99' F250. Only "Mod" is drilling a hole in the grill for intake. Huge difference!

Question. I have seen several posts on here referring to the 5 Star Tuning from Mike. I had never heard of this until a few days ago. I did some research and a friend told me about Edge Products. Anyone have any experience with them? How do the compare with the 5 Star tuning? Here is a link to the CTS they offer for the F350, V10. This whole discussion of these devices has me intrigued. I would love to get the full potential out of my V10.

As said above, huge difference. You're looking at a custom versus canned tune.

Don't see many. I think it's a cool looking truck. Dare to be different!

Ha, right? Honestly the only reason I ended up with it was it was a fantastic deal (in my mind at least). Watched it for 7 months and watched the price drop $1000 each month. Couldn't resist! I was looking diesel but the closest diesel priced truck was 3 years older (mine is an 08) with 80,000 miles with rust. Nada. I could use a long bed as my old truck was a long bed but it works just fine! Honestly thought about putting it up for sale (really need a dump) but not sure I can let go.....
