If you are buying a tuner just for the gas mileage than you are missing out on the rest of the fun of buying one. It also makes the truck more fun to drive!!

 

I have kept records since my 2011 was new- about 37k. I tend to change tunes occasionally 93 T/H 87 T/H and back to stock... When you drive nice - I think that the 93 pulls a little better gas milage - but I don't drive nice - much... I will say in town with more hard starts and such my mileage tends to decrease.

Also - you can really tell the difference in the way the truck drives & shifts & accelerates with the tunes..

All & All - I am very happy and Mike does a great job of customer service.

So - just spend the money - make the truck drive like it should - don't overthink it....

 

I agree!

but as a side note, I can get up to 17.6 mpg in my V10 van, driving nicely at speed limits with cruise control USING the 93 octane performance tune from Mike.

 

haven't got the SCT yet with 5 star ,will be contacting mike shortly ..possibly tonight.

just wanted to say BYRAM that is one hell of a nice truck you've got ,like what you did with it. did you install the 5 star when the truck was new ?

 

I cannot remember exactly but within the first month maybe 2500 miles - so yea it new. Thanks - it's a great truck - being old & single allows a few privileges.
Hey - you can't go wrong with Mike - he is a good businessman - backs up his work - doesn't leave ya hanging after the purchase.
Good luck!

 

,i have a 95 150 4x4, 302. I would like to learn what options are available for a chip or programming to improve the response and low end power. who is mike?, is there a site i can go to to learn about what is available. Thanks. P.s. What's the difference between a chip and a tuner.

I am not the expert but the chip & tuner usually do the same thing - I had a chip one my 2001 for a while but the tuner that I have now - plugs in temporarily and allows several different programs that I can choose from & then take back to stock if I want...
