Well with the ecm update, i still dint get any better fuel mileage so for this next tank im going to remove the adr and see what i get with just the exhaust and intake, if its better i suppose ill try a smarty on the next tank and if i get the best mileage with out a box, well i guess thats how ill run the truck, maybe even sell it.

I got the best mileage with the adrenaline w/pulse on my 99 but i did have to try alot of tunes and different settings with the pulse to get it
if i remember correctly i had fueling to full and the last tune i ran was on level 6 or 7

I was running the 2000 and i think tried the beta 3000 before my truck went
I beleive the 1000 tunes are just a touch above stock so you aren`t going to see much difference and depending on the time the box was made it might have to go back for a firmware update

if you can`t get the .net to work on it you might have to call quad customer service and they will help ya figure it out and let you know if it has to go back for the firmware update

nice nice, ill have to call them tomorrow cause it wont install on my computer it keeps telling me there is an error but not logging it like instructions say. But you said you ran the 2000 tune and 3000 tunes, did that increase your fuel mileage at all?

I know the feeling when you have a new bomb and can`t get it working right
when i had mine they were having problems with the fuel pressure sendors and that drove me nuts
