Well I just got my Tuner that I bought from Cameron ( MOTOunplugged )

Oh and Cameron is a Pro At packing haha S*** was packaged better than original.

Well I plugged her up and it was Unlocked with 5 unlocks left. Just for giggles I loaded up the Bamatune that he used with his since our trucks were virtually the same other than VIN and Sure enough it Worked.

So it came with 87 Performance, 93 Performance, 87 Torque

Right now Im using 87 Perf. and So far Alot more Pick up. Oh and My speedo is correct. So I filled her up at the station and now is the MPG test my last pre-tune Mileage was 13.9.

For the near future tunes that I get Im gonna get 87 Economy 87 Performance and 87 Torque or towing or something else good for wheeling

 

::like::

 

That's awesome.

 

are you auto or 5speed?

 

I have an Auto

 

do you notice the difference when it is shifting? i hear one of the biggest improvements is with the auto trans.

 

I notice a huge difference when it shifts especially at WOT. Revs a little higher too

 

Nice

 

have you noticed any difference in mpg yet?

 

you suck. your gem modules had the same code. really lucky lol

 

Yeah with the performance tune that came on it its about 3-4 mpg roughly 30-40 miles more per tank.
I have yet to get an economy tune yet and I would expect a little better

but then again I was getting 13 before the tune

Yeah I thought it was pretty lucky

 

if your getting that big of an increase im buying one soon. ever since i lifted it im lucky to get 14.

 

ben get on the mpgs for the econ tune!

 

^ I will I just need to get this trip to TN and GA over with and then see if I can afford the tune

 

wheres a good place to get one at now? they are around 400 right? are you noticing the difference in you wallet yet with better mpg? if i can pull 2-3 better with the x3 then its more than worth it.

 

I wonder how many miles it would take to offset the $400 if you get a 2MPG gain. Someone want to do the math, I'm just curious.

 

That's a brainteaser for a lot of people.

 

i think it depends on current mpg and obviously gas price, but let's give it a shot.

let's say you get 16 mpg average. so now it's 18. therefore you get a free gallon of gas for every 8 use. (8 gallons is 16X8=128miles, 16x9=144miles, 18x8=144miles)
So let's assume now, gas is $3.
I believe this means for every 144 miles you drive you gain back $3.
$400/$3=133.3

133.3*144 miles=19200miles to earn $400. If gas is $3.50, you have to drive 16,457 miles to gain back $400.

I think that is right...

 

exactly what ive been wondering id rather not have to tear the axels out to put 4.56 and hope id get better mpg if i can get decent gains with a sct x3.

 

Tuner will only partial make up for lack of gears. You still have the wear and tear on your transmission running stock gears with larger tires.

 

yea but stock is 4.10 so i cant be doing much damage if any at all. what would you think just regearing would bring back? id guess at 70 it would drop but heck anything above 50 right now i get less and less.

 

Depends what tire size you are and what motor. Add a signature so people know what your running!

 

its a 4.0 sohc,4.10 gears, with a superlift and 33x1250 everything else is stock.

 

have you tried the eco tune yet? and is your mpg still up over stock?

 

Im waiting on money to get the tune. sorry for taking so long to get it
