Default Most miles with a tuner, who's got it?

I'm curious how many miles everyone has run with their tuner. I have a buddy who has 30,000 with his on an no issues. Thought 30,000 is pretty good. He has a SCT X4. What do you all have and how many miles? Who can beat 30K?

Bought mine in February of this year. Have put maybe 20K on the truck since I installed it. Not problems at all.

Bought my 2012 new in Dec '12. Tuned Dec '14 at around 10K miles. Currently at 55K, no issues except for accelerated tire wear on the rear. 5* tuned, mostly 87 p/t with 89 p/t for a while.

Most miles I've seen or heard of yet. You ever run the economy tune?

I ran the 5* 87 economy tune for a week or 2, including an extended weekend out of town trip (~5 hrs on the highway each way). Very short sample period, but I picked up an MPG or 2 around town. Didn't notice much difference on the highway vs stock or p/t tune. I ditched it because it took all the fun out of driving a tuned and turbo'd truck.

That stinks. I thought economy would give some boost. Did you get mileage gains running the 87?

About 35K miles on my '12. Started with 5* 91performance, then to MPT 93Race, then to MPT 93PRX. No problems except with the 93Race. Torque converter kept locking and unlocking. 93PRX took care of that.
Have 7K +/- on my 3.5 with 93PRX, no problems.
