no i havent, what program do you have loaded? 1000, 2000, 3000, comp, dyno, or torq? im assuming mine is 1000 cause i just put it on when i got it and didnt do anything with it. Should i try loading a different tune or reloading the 1000. Also i was wondering if maybe my IAT sensor could be bad? i cleaned it but if it is bad then that wouldnt do much of anything. the truck runs like a champ so idk
