well this had nothing to do about saving money or just because its a dealership...... in 03 when i started going to that dealership it was great, Service was awesome...... people were friendly. Now they arent! as soon as i got out of my truck the guy helping me was being an ***. Even my parts guy i went through told me he was a jerk(he didnt say jerk, he used more vulgar language than that) The service manager is a major *** and you can tell it, he also acts like it..... my mother who i refered there can back that up for me(which she wont step foot there ever again) all in all that place is just junk. Theres 1 or 2 of those types of dealerships in everyones area. After i got my custom tune to fit my tires and a lil extra HP they refered me to the dealership they work with thats down the street from me as well. So thats where ill be going for service from now on.

So supercab, how did the new program do? Did you notice any difference in the performance of the truck? Which programmer did they use?

Just curious as I would love to do the same but don't want to spend the money if it isn't really worth it.

Well now that its been done i wish i would have just spent a little extra money to have the xcal2 done from Troyer, The local shop used the hypertech tuner to tune my truck and It's very much noticeable in the difference of how fast my truck accelerates and just all around throttle responce. I also added a K&N 77series intake while i was at it

Nice. I only have the drop in K&N filter in mine. I do have the Magnaflow SI/SO system also. I was curious what the tune would do for the performance. Did you notice a difference in the speedo?

Yes, they will, take a look at the link below. I had them on before and now after the lift.

The difference between the tires is only 2.27 mph at 65.

Tires

i got a 2003 ford f150 FX4 and i got 295/70R17 and i they dont affect anything..but if u want to change the setting go to Edge Performance and get a computer and it will upgrade the tire size and upgrade the computer settings and add horsepower

No - not since you just got an alignment - it will screw up the alignment you'll need another one. If you hadn't just got an alignment, it would be up to your personal preference.
