thank you, i dont think he put it back to stock and he doesnt have the truck anymore. i have a k&n filter on the truck now but i was told that these trucks dont like the oil based filters. what kind of exhaust do you have. I was told that the straight pipe is very loud inside the passanger comparment.
is 4" or 5" better, thanx again

very good info thank you for sharing your knowledge, i just took all the veggie stuff off my truck and im looking to just get an econ tune. i guess i will have to try to sell that k&n on ebay or something. i will look into that other filter with the ultimate goal to get an intake setup and exhaust. thanx again for your help

The reason the k/n sucks is because it does not seal well to the stock filter box, if it is a drop in. The 6637 is your most economical choice. Beyond that they get more expensive. I have an AFE Stage 2, which was spendy and it is an oiled filter but it is reusable and I now I have 2 filters so no down time for cleaning. If I was to do it again I would go with the 6637.

big poppa is correct.
The number one success i get from my superchip is the trans does not search especially when driving around 45 mph, it constantly searched between drive and overdrive before the superchip.. No more searching.

I have to admit, the reason I got my SC was because of the shifting, stock and slow and it took forever to get into the next gear. I towed down to Lexington-Roanoke Va. without it with my 31 foot TT and I was burning fuel like no tomorrow, constant trans shifting up and down those hills, got the SC and went down 2 months later and the truck stayed in gear, was really pleased at the time. Now I'm really pleased I got the DP Tuner and J. Wood VB, its even better than that.

Also, FYI....The shift points are the best reason to have a 1705.....if you don't tow over 6k....run the second (perfomance/tow) setting......much better performance and fuel mileage. On mine, I have to knock it back to stock about every 3 months and reload it. It seems to re-learn some shift habits from my wife driving it.

thank you guys for all the input, i actually got the tuner today but i am at the station so i cant play around with it. he did give me the manual and the box and he said that before he got rid of his truck he did turn it back to stock.
i dont tow anything right now and if i do it will be below 6000 lbs. before i do this mod do i have to get an intake and exhaust or can i just play it safe for the next week until i can get the cash to have some fun?
thanx again guys i appreciate it

I use the SC 1705 for now. The guy I bought the truck from gave me the tuner with it. I tow a 31ft 5th wheel with it on Tow safe. It drives great with it. I leave the truck on tow safe all the time. As I get money and do more mods I intend on getting a DP Tuner for more versatility.
