I also agree that custom tuning will ultimately be best, but until then, Bully Dog's tuner is our only option. And it seems to be a decent one.

I paid $460.00, which is Bully Dog's retail pricing. I know the tuner can be bought for $400, but sometimes you have to pay a premium to have what you want now.

He's a troll with a GM product. People that makes statments like that are just looking for attention. A good behaviorist would just tell you to ignore him

Fuel economy results from this morning are promising. My truck is an FX4 Screw with 3.73s and a leveling kit. My morning commute is 50 miles- 30 miles at 75mph and the other 20 miles in mixed traffic (morning bumper to bumper interstate traffic and red light to red light city driving).

My average was 18.5. I know this doesn't sound great, but it's actually 2 mpg's up from my truck's lifetime average. Also, I have recently noticed a 1.5 mpg drop in mileage since the cold weather started (it's 40 degrees here this morning), so this could actually be a gain of 3.5mpgs.

Also note that my mileage probably suffered a bit from the fact that I had to occasionally smash the go pedal to floor so I could feel my new found power.

This afternoon I'll try to log a quarter mile run on my iPhone dyno app. I ran the truck a few times on the app before tuning, so I at least have some base numbers to compare.
