Hey Murderisthegame, let me know how it performs with just the straight canned tunes if you end up trying it out. I've got 35's with 3.77 gears and I'm hoping the tow setting will help the truck out a bit so I don't have to re-gear

No problem, I'm planning on setting it to Performance when I leave the office to go home and see what happens... I'll let you know this afternoon how it goes!

Hahaha..ohh a tough guy ehh..haha. Yeah like I said you will know immediately if something is funky when you load the tune. Remember to "break" in the tune. You need to let the computer learn how your driving style is with the new parameters. Dont just beat on it the second you load the tune..haha.

You will definitely notice a difference in the Tow tune (level 2). Especially withe the 35's. I have the 3.73 gears as well and didnt regear although it would be nice to have the stock power back....But it is much better than having nothing. The low end power is great. Make sure to program in your tire size when you load the tune though (mine is 2800).

I wish some people would remember that. Some of the threads I've been reading were people have problems with tuners involve them just loading up some generic tune on a vehicle with performance mods and them smashing on the gas to see "how much faster" their truck can go...*sigh*

Only do the performance setting if you are running the right octane gas otherwise it wont work very well!!

No doubt, thanks for the advice too. I figure I'll buy the tuner first then worry about re-gearing later on.
