Tuned?
Is there a way to tell if you have a tuned motor or not? Reason I ask is 1. I'm getting 18 to 20 mpg (non towing ) 2. I went half throttle to pass a car as I was doing 68 mph and when I got around them I was doing 90--wth?

Seems like my stock truck as well. It is an animal as is. I can only imagine what a good tune would do. I just don't want to risk any damage to head gaskets/bolts, although many stock bolt guys run tunes. Right now I just do not see the need to do so.

Same here. There was a time when I was younger I'd be all over a tuner. More of a laid back and save money kinda guy now.

Let's just say my old V10 felt under-powered compared to my 6.0

No EGR delete, yet, but I feel the same as you. I like to drive the truck around unload some, as I just like it, but most of the time it is towing.
