Brandon, thank you for the advice and the explaination. I will give Dennis a call for sure. About the DP Tuner, which one do you think would work the best? I drive the truck a lot and I do a lot of towing, mostly light to medium loads. Lots of cars and construction supplies for the house. Also when I get a chance, to the dunes with the toy hauler.

But just as a guess, I would say... no start,stock, high idle1100, 60tow, 80econo, 80 tow, 120R, and for fun get the 140smoke those are the ones I have (except for the 140S) and the whole thing was $450ish shupped to my door.

Jim ask them about some stage I's like the 175/146 single shots, shoots about 20% more fuel and adds approx 60 hp in addition to what your chip will do. I should be running about 360-375 RWHP , just haven't got it on the dyno yet. Good injectors for everyday driving and towing. Still getting 18 mpg highway unloaded, 15 around town and 11-13 towing our 10,000 lb 31' 5th whhel. Great upgrade without worrying about hurting a PMR engine.
What year is your truck?

The fault codes that came up from the test are P0269 and P0284 that is #8 and #3 Injector Circuit Contribution Balance Fault.
What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Which scanner or software were you using. Curious on how bad the numbers were on the injector. Most customer/friends trucks I scan see from 2%-3.5% on #8.
Don't was your money on any mistery engine oil additive. There are two oils out there with the same additive already in them. Plus it's no advisable to play with the chemistry of any oil unless you know exactly how the additive will affect the chemistry of the oil you are adding it too.

Mike (Tenn01psd350) walked me through alot of the AE software - it's a great tool but takes some quality time (and coffee) to figure out all the mass amount of data & options. Still haven't been good at graphing anything yet,,, just a matter of time...
