Were you driving the same with the stock tune? Where you going off of the overhead console?
With mine set at 60hp I drive differently than stock. I am in it a little harder and up to speed much quicker. Just can't keep my foot out of it yet. I do still get better mileage with it at 60hp if I drive the same....
Also when I have the tune in the overhead meter is about 1 1/2mpg off compared to that I am actually getting. Hand calculated is better mileage is actually better than the meter...don't really know why but it is

i leave mine on the 60hp tune all the time on my 2006 have had it in the truck for the last 30000 miles, i always get 14-16mpg, the power difference from stock to a performance tune is addictive, i do not like driving it to and from the dealer without the tune in, thats the only time the tune is not in the truck...........is for dealer work, i am afraid to run the 100hp tune because of head bolts and head gasket issues, any one had any issues with the 100hp tune ?
