Do you guys think I am ok with my custom tune? I feel weird not knowing if the truck is running lean or rich... did you ever have your truck checked Will to see how Bill's tune was?

No I haven't. I trust the tune and the tuner.

I like it but it get's a little loud towing the 5er and it is fun to pass people at WOT.

If the truck runs well I would not even think twice about it and I am sure they err on the side of caution and make the tunes run a little rich.

I asked Bill if I'd need more custom tunes if I added long tubes with high flow cats. He said it would be OK but recommended some tweaks to the tune to be safe. That there tells me they are safe with my current setup.

So do you guys think I should relax? My mileage is low in the winter... 14-15 usually 18 over the summer. I saw as low as 13 once this winter. That's normal to see such a large drop, right? 40 degrees and below I see noticeably lower mileage. I just want to make sure it's not running too rich

I never got that low a mileage but I drive mostly highway, like 85% to 90%.

My milage sucked in the winter as well when I had the F150 it just comes with the territory with winter blend fuel plus the air/fuel charge is denser when it's cold.

Nope, none around here. Patrick and I got burgers at Mooya! today. It was my first time there. Very good. Just realized I have not eaten since about 1:30, no wonder I'm getting hungry.

I'd like a burger too but it's late.

Going fishing in the AM. Should be nice on the water.
