For your truck and your style of driving and how it's getting used, I think you'll be extremely happy with a standard street tune. The take off is far improved and I think personally for someone who accelerates from 0 to whatever a lot this would be a great tune.

Default Best mileage tune with sct

Thanks all. After much reading I believe I will get a street tune from Eric for regular driving, and use the 50 horse tune I have for towing. Gotta make this truck last as a work truck for another two years or so before I can get a 6.7 :-)

Tell Eric you want a street tune and his max towing tune. That tune is awesome.

I've got an E350 van. What was your mpg increase with "Eric's" tune? I'm hoping to increase my mpg.

E350, huh? That may turn out to be an apples and oranges case. If I am not mistaken, the vans don't have the intercooler. I don't know what this means for tune writers, but isn't that why the van is rated at 450lb/ft and the trucks are rated at 550lb/ft?
