Tire Pressure Monitoring System.. Lets you know when a tire is low. The tuner won't affect that.

On the gas trucks, does a tuner kill the warranty like it does on a diesel?

Just out of curiosity, why do you guys want to go more than 100mph in a pickup? The F-150 might be OK, but man, a 4-wheel drive Super Duty is not designed to go fast like that. The slightest corner becomes scary if you hit any kind of a bump....
That being said, I'll probably add the 5-star tuner to my truck once the powertrain warranty expires. Not for top speed, but just for better midrange power and to eliminate the stupid throttle reduction until 3500RPM, etc.

You'll see a big difference in power with the tuner, they really wake your truck up, and you can read / clear DTC's, recalibrate the speedo, mileage tunes, towing, etc. I love mine, not just for the performance aspect.

, can't say for the 250, never driven one with the 6.2. What kind of fuel mileage do you get with the SD / 6.2?

Pretty dismal, usually 9-10 in town, 14 on the highway. These are empty numbers, but winter driving (I keep the hubs locked in all winter which might cost me 0.5-1mpg).
Now that I have 11k on the truck, this summer I expect maybe 11 in town and 15-16 highway.
Is your 150 an Ecoboost or 5.0?
