Does anyone have a programmer on there truck if so what kind and what are the benefits

 

Benefits are improved power, throttle response and shift strategies.

 

Does it help fuel economy

 

No.

 

Only if you have enough self control to keep your foot out of it. I am not that strong willed.

I roll with SCT and 5* as well as MPT custom tunes. Really woke her up and she drives like a sports car.

Ok because I bought this one just have not put it on yet

 

They have tunes for better mpg's, but really why waste the time and money looking for that. If you can drive some what consistently from stop, & go(not WOT),..... even with a 87 grade performance tune you can see 1-2 mpg better in over all mileage.

 

nice

 

I have an SCT Livewire on my '11 Lariat with the 6.2. I have Performance and Tow tunes from both 5-star and MPT. Like the guys said, as long as you can keep your foot out of it, your overall MPG should improve. During the Spring, Summer, and early Fall I will get an average of 1-2 mpg improvement over the stock tune. But, this time of year with the winter blend fuel, and morning warm-ups...................not so much. I'm on the 93 Oct. canned tune at the moment and my average MPG has dropped. But I also know that come spring time it will get back to normal.

 

I just got my SCT iTSX with 5 Star tunes. I'm running the 93 Performance/Tow tune and all I can say is good luck keeping off the gas. Hopefully after I've had it a few weeks I can lay off the throttle.

Drives like a completely different truck. I can't believe I waited 2,900 miles to get it.
