XCal3 tune load
I just got my XCal3 and custom tunes today. I am anxious to load the tunes but want to be sure I do it right. I have the custom tunes loaded on the XCal3 and need you guys with experience to give me step by step instructions on loading into my truck. Is it necessary to remove fuses as stated in the manual or can I just plug it in to ODBII port and program without having to worry about it? Anxious to try out the tunes!

Loaded the street tune before leaving work to try it out. My drive isn't very far only 16 miles and mostly city so I can't say much yet. Did feel like a lot more power and better shifting but I will hold overall judgement until I have driven on it for a few days. I couldn't resist getting on the throttle for a couple of short bursts, felt good!
Do you guys know if the get stock file on the software makes a copy of the stock file and leaves the original on the device. I want a backup copy of my stock file in case something happens. Read a couple of posts where people say they lost their files somehow.

Let me know how the economy tune does mileage wise. I am going to run the street tune for a tank and see if I get better/worse or the same as stock. I have to say the street tune seems to have a lot of get up and go. The one thing I have noticed is when running down the highway in cruise, when I tap the brake to disengage the cruise it drops out a lot harder. Don't know that I like that.
