I don't know what it was but it was Mpt's latest 87perf.street rev10. Only shows good knock numbers running 93.

I have the same mind set. Every time I try to log the config file it does not load correctly and it only logs ambient temp which tells MPT nothing. Im hopefully meeting up with a member who is more experienced with livewire and logging tomorrow.
This truck will never be ran at the track just to be clear. Its strictly a DD that I was wanting a little more pep from stock. The only WOT it sees is getting up to hwy speed and even then its not necessary. Was pretty much seeing what the tune did in that situation.
If I log it tomorrow and the knock retard isnt out of the ordinary im inclined to run the eco tune this weekend for my road trip.

Your crazy if you dont log your custom tunes, as said earlier in this thread every truck acts diffrently. Some knock and some dont on the exact same tune, also your A/F ratio could be all messed up and you wouldnt know until its too late Plus gas quality is a major factor in how any tune runs. If your getting gas at the same fuel station how do you know its any good unless you datalog ? It takes just a few mins of your time to datalog with a sct tuner. heck do it on the way to work and back then you lose no time and waste less fuel...... Datalogging ability was put into our devices for a reason, USE IT !!! Cheap insurance guys !!!

Ask Mike for the list of what to log and set it up your self, or PM me and ill send you what he wants logged in the morning..... its easy. I wouldnt run the eco tune unless your city driving thats were it nets the best milage in my opinion. Your performance tune will do better on the hwy trust me i have tested it on a 3.5 hr drive.

Log your tune.

There is a sticky post in this very forum (2011+ engines) written by CoreyMS that gives you the step by step process as well as contains a config file that sets the most important PIDs.

Seriously, with 3-4 clicks you have logged and saved your file to send to your tuner.

I have the 5.0. The sticky has eco config file. Talked with a local member tonight and were hoping to get around to it tomorrow.

I always log mine. Better safe than sorry. Never had an issue though.

I decided to log last night and my highest knock was at cruise, -5.5 to 5.9. I did 3 logs can't remember what WOT was or normal takeoff will be sending them off this morning.

^This is what I mean, all my knock was at cruising speeds anywhere from -4 to 7.75. All of my knock was under light throttle, my wot showed 1* max, mostly in the negatives. If I accelerated hard than my knock stayed negative.

When you do logs, log situations. Like. 0-60 only going to 3k rpm, 30-70 part throttle and full, 0-80 full throttle, cruising at 55 and 70. That's what I do anyway.
