I just read about Blackbear tunes and they do custom tunes. They got great reviews

I have the Diablosport i2020 that came with canned tunes and they're friggin awesome. I'm running the 91 octane tune and my gas mileage went from 13 mpg to around 17.5 and that's in lots of traffic. I was on the interstate for about 2 hours the other day and I was getting 24 mpg. Definitely worth it to me.

+1 for SCT. I have the 3015 I bought used and it works great.

Which rear axle? What speed were you going on the interstate?

3.55 gears and I was going about 70 the whole time. I also have 35 inch tires.

I've got the SCT X4 from 5 star tuning with 3 custom tunes (87 performance tow, 89 performance tow, and 87 economy) and they work great. They had to tweak my 87 tune twice to remove an issue with the truck not coasting/rolling when letting off the throttle but it was done via email and now works great. I run the 87 performance tow tune and while not a rocket or race car (I have 3.55 gears and stock size LT tires), the throttle is much more responsive. The tow haul mode is also more aggressive than stock, holding gears far longer and downshifting sooner which is great with a heavy trailer behind you.

I think it cost me like 429 shipped including the 3 custom tunes and I bought it direct from 5 star. Second best investment (1st is the $30 DZ EZ tailgate assist).

My vote is for SCT X4 and VMP Tuning for the tunes.

I'm pretty sure the diablosport i2 (i2020 in my case) is the only handheld out there that truly erases the computer trail when you tune back to stock (before going into the dealer for whatever reason).

Really?? This is one thing that has stopped me from getting my tuner. The big "what if" and I need to go to the dealer.
