Great job Kubota! I've been following your thread. I did exactly the same mod to my 2015 F350...and then promptly sold it. Contemplating doing the same to me new '17 F350...

Most definitely the low end fueling will change and give us a ton of throttle response. stock tune is peppier because the dpf catches the smoke that it produces.

The ezlynk is amazing, i was nervous it would be complicated but its very very simple i like it.

I would suggest adding a resonator in front of the muffler. Or you could also swap the muffler for a 40" or 51" Donaldson with the resonator chamber in it.
i ended up getting a 30" Fte resonators that is stainless and has a twist through the center. Absolutely perfect. It's almost like stock around tow and now has a deep growl at idle and at full throttle. Super happy with it. Asesine what it sounded like with 5" flop ro w muffler.

Kubota, is that a factory lift on your truck? How high is it? Couldn't find any details in your post. It looks nice! I like the height.

Sotf switch will be here tuesday, ready for it!

Coming from a few trans tuned truck i can feel the wasted power and "slippage" in the stock form and it drives me nuts!

What setting are you running? No sendit here , i got the patience
Still running the export calibration 😒

I am running the 150. I didn't like the acceleration. Seemed clunky so I called and that's the first I heard to NOW unplug the throttle valve(the third plug). Pulls nice though I wish it pulled harder. Seems like it needs another 100HP at least. I may go over to PSE here in Houston and have a SOTF switch installed soon.

Im hoping once all PIDs are accessible I can do what I can't do with forscan. I have the Bluetooth dongle but no PC or patience.

Wish i was realizing better fuel like I remember my 2011 getting with my H&S MM. I had 295/65/20's so have an extra inch at least in this tires and more width.

Please let us know what tune you like most for fuel economy.
