I only run 91 or 93, no 87 in mine. When I bought it in the summer, and first filled it with 93 after running the 87 the dealer put in, I could tell a slight difference in the way it felt. Not much, but it did feel slightly stronger.

So it is perfectly fine to run 93 at all times? Just looking to see what is best for the truck. Thanks.

if you drive like a jackass like me you do 93 .. if you drive conservative you can use 87 seems to be the general consensus

If you press TC button twice quickly it will activate TC SPORT MODE , instead of once for TC OFF. Read on the manual what parameters it changes to see when it works for you.

WTF!! I'm not afraid to admit that I had no idea I had that option in TC.
Seven years on here and I'm just realizing this.

I can only assume my 2014 didn't have Sport Mode in general, so please tell me, I didn't drive that truck for almost five years and didn't know that truck could do it.
Not knowing for nine months with this one is embarrassing enough.

Great tip my friend! Thank ya

Hopefully the results aren't like what we joke about while on the sleds...
One..
Two..
Tree..!

Run E85 if you want a much more fun ride over regular gas. E85 makes my '17 run absolutely great. After running E85 for almost a month, I switched back to regular E10 last week. Very noticeable difference. May switch back to E85! E85 is only $1.63/gal currently and regular gas is $1.96/gal.
