Drink much hater-ade this morning, lmfao? Point taken....there have been and continue to be great changes over there, however.

It's actually evolved into a next level source of information and cooperation.

Totally agree!!!! Run and run fast..

I got the same for my money a d I'm not complaining. He tried for four months to get a tune to work on my truck. Hell no ones tunes work on my truck but I'm not complaining
I've got close to a $1000 invested in tunes and tuner and I'm stock and staying that way
I got caught up in the hype like everyone else and it didn't work out for me. Put your big boy pants on and move on its only money.

I don't understand how a tune won't work. Even a mild one? No improvement to shift points? I can understand a truck not liking an aggressive tune, but none at all? It concerns me. I don't want to blow a grand to end up with nothing.

You got a Raptor, throw a Roushcharger on it and call it a day. A "lazy" 590 HP I will take any day with the crap Roush Calibration

Yeah, if I had money left over I'd do that...

Plan B is to get a tune. I'm new to this but all this drama is quite confusing. I realize the internet is filled with hyperbole, but it's hard to separate fact from fiction. I'm not made of money, so blowing my engine is not an option. Spending $1000 on a tuner and tunes to gain nothing is also not an option. I'm just curious to learn what a "failed tune" looks like and what causes it. I'm in reading/learning mode right now.
