    yeah I'm having a hard time sleeping waiting on mine to come back. T800H what setting did you bump yours up to? I just went with the modest 550/1850 tune being its a 10spd & I'm not the only one to run the truck so gotta play it safe for the other 1% of the time I'm not the one in the drivers seat.
    Thanks for the Quick turn around and taking the time to explain all my options Mr Haney.

    Truck Farmer I got the 600 hp Brake Saver, you will be happy with the 550 I had that on the loaner Mr Haney sent me and it was day and night difference, coming from an original 475 hp that was putting out 500 hp and always felt strong until I tryed that 550, the motor really woke up and it ran lot smoother across all rpm, you will be safe, also you have to remind the driver to watch the speedometer or use the cruise a lot because it run so easy that you would not notice your going 20 or 25 mph faster than you wanted to, and that is where I think the fuel saving will come, because the engine doesn't have to work nearly as hard, I have only driven mine for a day and I'm happy, but I'm sure I will like it more with the time.Eddy

    Well all I can say is I'm very happy so far with my new tune from PDI I gained power uphill and gained .4 mpg so I get 5.5 mpg now, is that good or bad? That was hauling a 48 ft van weighting 60.000 lbs.
    Mr haney you Also mentioned about the fuel temp wire, should i do it or will I loose mpg? If yes, do you just unplug the sensor and put a resistor in it or leave the sensor plugged and put a resistor between?

    Where did you find one? I have been looking but can't find one that goes to a high enough psi.


    Also, I was on Bully dog's website and it says something about uploading a program from Caterpillar? What's that all about???
