Enough stock engines have blown that I doubt the tune was the cause. Some engines are just going to blow no matter what for various reasons. I have been tuned for 50K, but drive conservatively most of the time because I depend on my truck to pull my fifth wheel RV.

Slightly off topic, but you should watch the video on this thread in regards to using an inductor service (sea foam) on an ecoboost engine. Sounds like it can cause the turbos to overheat and shorten their life. Just my 2 cents.

I've never really dataloged before assuming that the tunes were safe when driving normally with the occasional fun.. Yes yes I know what happens when u assume.... Basically in a nutshell should I be scared to tune again for fear of damaging and or negating the longevity of my engine?
If to tune again... Which tune would be the best and safest for everyday driving and occasional towing?
5star: 87-89-93 P/T Tunes
SSI: 93 Tow Tune
?

Tow tune should be the most conservative and the safest. Just make sure you use 93 octane fuel.

I concur that a tow tune is the safest and that an 87 or 91 tow tune with 93 fuel would be pretty safe. The new SSi tow tune is a great daily driver and gets great mileage as well. Since I had towed recently, I reset the Eco gauge this morning to start my 30 mile commute with the 91 tow tune and got to work with 22 mpg on the gauge. I limited my speed to 65 and used cruise control, but I have Max Tow.
