Thats why I got this truck, small and agile in town and hiway economy. I wouldn't get caught dead in a car.....maybe a diesel BMW or something if I had a choice.
I know what you mean. I had a 2008 Duramax that I was pushing 500hp out of and I decided to step out the diesel world mainly because of potential emissions issues here in wonderful Boulder County. Plus I was spending to many nights tweaking my tunes with EFILive (once you start; it is hard to stop). I knew giving up the diesel I would give up the torque but I am still amazed what this 3.5L can do and how much torque it can generate. My have to feed my old addiction and head to the ATS dyno day this coming Saturday.

I am working with Mike @ 5* over email on the tunes. I am not sure if it the elevation difference at the moment of why the truck is doing what it is doing. Mike has provided me a tune that is mapped for higher elevation that seems better but it feels to have less low end torque at the moment.

Yes Mike and I are chatting over email mostly. I try to not post issues to much on forums because the only person that can fix it is the person that created it.
