Will have to wait anyways, I kinda spent all my extra money that I had saved up about 3 weeks ago on a new four-wheeler. What kind of tunes would you reccomend for a daily driver with economy in mind? It would also be cool to have a tune for towing my stock trailer, and maybe one that was a little racy, but nothing dangerous....

That's how it always starts out. Pretty soon, it's bigger injectors running ultra comp files and replacing tires every 3-4 days because of all those hard starts every time the light turns green.

Ok... someone in another post called it a TECH 7 tune. Does that make any sense?? Haha. Is the Hybrid the most aggressive tune that you run in stock trucks? If not, what is? Thanks Matt.

I don't make enough money for stuff like that....I certainly can't afford the head studs I need in order to do all of that either....

TEC7 is simply a processor code; corresponds to the VXAP2N2 strategy code. The Hybrid is the most powerful we recommend for daily use on an otherwise stock truck.

Hey Matt, I got your e-mail thanks again! I'll try your tunes and report back to you.

Lately I've been running the ASE and still getting about 18 mpg. So I'm looking forward to the Hybrid Race file.

I thought that the Ultra Comp Streetmaster is the hottest file for a daily driver. Maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks, Bro!

nothing wrong with putting a couple grand on a credit card to make the truck what you want. have you ever seen a hurst pulling a u-haul. can't take money or possessions with you, so you might as well "live" the days you have (within moderation that is).

Sure havent seen a hearse pull a u-haul, but I'm not going to use a credit card with 22% interest to buy a few things that I would just like to have. Not to mention, in 3 years or so when my truck is paid for, I'll just be trading it on a new one, so why bother with a whole lot of stuff for the one I have now, especially stuff that could jeopardize the warranty on my brand new truck that does everything I want it to the way it is. When I have extra money, I might spend it on my truck, but I dont have any extra money right now, and I'm sure not spending money I dont have.

I was kidding at the time that I had said that. I haven't put any of my mods on a credit card(because of that I had to do my mods a little here and a little there, but I plan on keeping this truck til it goes kaput) and I really don't advise it, however, BGMSPD is correct in the fact that you can't take it with you, but do it in moderation if you do do it.

I am fully aware that you can't take it with you. Thats why I bought a brand new truck, and just bought a brand new $7000 atv. I will be buyin an SCT, just gotta wait until I get paid again and see how things go.
