+1 on the SCT with 5 Star custom tunes. Completely different truck around town and then I hit the road with my trailer. I actually got better mileage because I could use 4th and 5th gears more plus it pulled grades much better than before. (ZF 5-speed) Mine is a 1999 but I am sure the 5 Star tune for the late model 3 valves are just as good. Excellent customer service too.

This is cool to know. I was unsure how much good a tuned would do on a zf trans. I always heard the tuner will improve the shift points on a auto. Didn't know if it was worth it on a manual.

Awesome thanks for the input. I did some checking and the reviews for the SCT seem pretty high with great results on the V10. Anyone running cold air intake and flow master exhaust.
