... I hate you, I got a bunch of all out hicks at my school that all they care about is huge supped up diesels and give me **crap** all the time about my 4.6 instead of anything bigger.

Btw 4.5L?

Yeah, just took it for another drove and the faster I go the better mpg's I get...

I alsways check manually so I'll find out soon enough but based on my gas gauge on my truck it's definitly not taking a major drop like it usually does if I floor it, much less 3 different times.

Nausea and headaches ............sometimes body aches.......similar to the flu without the fever......

Welding it for a little bit you're probably safe......but if was an eight hour work day then you should really worry.....just depends on your bodies tolerance .....

When I plugged it in and got everything installed I only have "tranny only, tow, and extreme". Is there a way to get the other ones, because, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't it really not good to run extreme unless you have a pretty good modded engine?

So, for tonite I ran on tranny only and Jesus Christ! I love the difference, but you have to remember my truck was insanely slow (4.5L, 3.55, 35's). I plugged in my tire size but that's it and on my avg. Economy it said I was getting 16 on my trip, and I even did the 0-60 test and after that it was 17? Wth? I was getting 9 before so I feel like I DEFINITLY have to be missing something?

Any help/ comments appreciated.
I don't know why edge puts the diesel display crap on the gas cts.....its a different part number....it will changed when its plugged into the truck....and no those other canned tunes not available for gas trucks......

Always perform hand calculations for mileage instead of believing the pretty lie-o-meters.....


Double check the gear size its displaying to confirm......

This programmer you have is capable of programming ford gas vehicles since 1997 and chevy vehicles also......if you know what a hex code is ....and then figure out how many for each year of model from both manufacturers.......that's alot of vehicles these canned tunes have to be able to support.....

I'm so sick of hw and tests. Did hw after work from 1015pm-1230am jsut to stay caught up.

Thursday night as I was leaving campus around 5pm to meet a friend for dinner the kid parked next to me at school had his hood open and I saw one of the police instance jumper boxes. It happened to me 2 years ago and it sucks so I offered to give him a hand. I could tell he was nervous about it and was so grateful. I couldn't get it to start so I offered to drive him up to the campus police station in the truck. He hopped in and they told him to call AAA. He didn't have a card on him, so I had him borrow mine and they told him an hour I offered to wait with him since it was raining and just had my friend meet me at school. The car was a rental since his was getting the water pump fixed I guess and AAA sent a local GM dealer service truck to jump him. The alternator and battery were good but the battery was completely drained. Took a few tries for the service guy to get him going, but his mid 90s v6 GMC 1500 got it going The kid was so thankful I helped him. I just feel bad leaving someone with car trouble. It was a 2 hour ordeal by the time we all left, but it was worth it.
