There is HP and touque waiting to be released in these trucks! As was stated earlier, the programming is on the side of caution and conservitive. Example, the 2011 F-250,350,450's, Gm waited to bring out their numbers until Ford did and they were king of numbers then Ford went back a "reprogrammed" to get extra HP and tourque making them king again. If you bought one proir to the adjustment you can go in and have you truck tuned to make the new numbers which were a pretty good jump!

I can see... and understand that "tuning" the electronics will improve the truck's slush-box transmission, the 6spd is pathetic in stock form... setting it up to hold shift points will definitely make it feel faster, and maybe even be faster!!
As for advancing the timing to hold out for higher octane,... I'm just not sold on this as a performance enhancement...... IMO it's more like making the truck need to guzzle more expensive gas.

hmmm not exactly what I wanted to read...I'm used to shifting my own gears, the transition to an auto is going to be difficult enough for me...oh well, I've got a little while with the manual still before I get around to buying a new truck.
