Tunes from Matt

Forgive my ignorance, but when Matt does the Tunes for you(incase Matt is reading this...when you do the tunes). are they flashed to the computer or is there a tuner like the superchips that I need to purchase. Can I get custom tunes after I get all my mods done?

Gotta get the SCT xcalII or xcalIII(or Livewire). And yes you can get custom tunes with mods. Once you call Matt he can set you up. Just tell him what you've got and what you need.

Not meaning to hi-jack here....but please add to your gallery so I can see the 6" lift with tires. Oh and how do you like the MBRP? I have the same still sitting in the box (been real lazy lately).

LOL. I really wanted to use that face. I haven't gotten any pics up because my rig is nasty. Extra dirty from rain/weak snow storms and the sand that's been spread out. I will soon though and try to remember to pm you or just keep an eye out for me on posts. Um...MBRP is friggin' sweet! I really like it with out the cat. Sounds like a jet fighter! Fun and pretty easy to install. So? Get off your tail and get it done!

Just a little louder on the driver side really. There really isn't a difference in the muffler. Just two exits. It's louder if you have the dual exit muffler delete(straight pipe). It's more of a cool factor.

Talking

LOL....... I bought the off-road so no kitty, but I'm waiting to do the exhaust until I put the gauges in (still in box), waiting to put the gauges in until I put my Whelen siren in (still in box), waiting to do siren until I get the DR 7" lift on (still in box), waiting to do lift until I get Weld Cheyenne 8's chrome on (still in boxes), waiting to do wheels until I get Toyo OCMT 37" (nope, not in box) don't have yet! Damn, I just made myself sound really lazy now, oh yeah, also waiting to put the Fabtech track bars on untill I get new gears and air lockers and an xcal3 from Matt.


O.K. O.K. I'll shorten this up........waiting until I have everything, then going to my buddies shop and get it all done at one time.

First off, you suck I'd need to get another job to afford all that stuff! I really want traction bars but I'm gonna do gauges first. I understand you waiting though. After those mods it'll be a completely different truck! That's gonna look and drive sick! I don't know if I'm gonna gear or not, jury's still out. But, yeah, the xcal will come in time and so will a FASS and Spartan sticks and so on and so on and on and on. It's a disease I tell you!

I hear ya, I can say I have been really blessed after a few very bad years of life/business. I've kept a spreadsheet on all the $ for the truck and when I see the total I get sick! But this is the truck I always wanted. Saving up for everything is the hardest part but I'll get there. Thanks for the PM when you get your pic's up, will probably happen before I get to work on all the mods.

This is my dream ride as well. I pay out the yingyang for it and still want to dump money into it. Like they say "you gotta pay to play" right? Looks like the weather will be crappy for awhile so I have no idea when she'll get a good scrubbin but the pics will be up eventually. I expect pics of your rig too since you mentioned all your mods I want to see it completed.

I plan to get a Excal 2 or 3 from Matt as soon as I can.My truck came with a Hypertech 3 stage tuner.Its ok but I know Matt can do much more with the Excal.If I had the money I'd take my truck to him & get ARP head bolts installed & maybe a set of his stage 1 injectors. I plan to get the MBRP offroad kit as soon as my funds allow it.I bet my 2 wheel drive will fly with Matts tunes & the MBRP exhaust. Its faster now than the highly modded 5.4 F150 I had before it.

The original thread was about Tunes from Matt posted by me, this new course is entertaining and I already have my answer for the original question. I also have my dream truck and after putting an additional 5 or so thousand into it am still wanting to put more, on top of the enormous payment I already make.
