I don't have the lie-o-meter. I filled to the same spot in the filler neck and divided miles since last fillup by gallons. I keep a spreadsheet on my handheld pocket pc.
I was getting 13-14.5 city with the old flash. Closer to 14 in the winter months. I use Stanadyne or PS with both flashes. 17.5- 18 highway.
I am talking my truck is stock. I know a guy who has a truck same as mine
that got 15 city and 19 with a Predator 65HP tune.

I have a '04/'04 and got reflashed 3 weeks ago and am also seeing a 2 mpg fuel improvement (+/-), not to mention the quiter/steadier start and running idle and better throttle response. I do not have a tuner yet, but the EGR disconnected (that last one is two thumbs up).

I can't say mine is any quieter. It is certainly not louder. Much better accelerator pedal response. Shifting is fine. I have not had complaint with the Torqushift.
I give them an A on this one. Even if it was 6 months late.

It is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. You just plug in the date, current odometer and gallons pumped and it does the rest. I'll see if I can post it out on the web so you can download it. Maybe I can get Tim to put it in the tech folder.

I spoke w/ my dealer and he told me to stick w/ the original factory flash unless I am having drivablility issues. He also mentioned that turbo lag would be corrected but w/ so many complaints concerning the updated flashes MPG (not this one in particular) he told me to stay away for now.
