Will do truck is in the shop went to start it this afternoon and no oil pressure. Oil sending unit is acting up having it fixed now don't want any problems. Went and tried it again two hours later had pressure and drove it to my mechanic.

Hey mike which tune from sct was it you are using and like so much. I know you said you liked the horsepower torque and mpg.

For DD'ing I'm really digging my GoGo race tune with stock lock up. I'm trying to avoid using any of the real aggressive race tunes that lock up the converter real early, after burning one up daily driving. This tune shifts quick and early so it seems to keep the RPM's lower when driving normal. It runs smooth, quiet and easy. Mileage seems to be up, but I really need to verify.

My Innovative street tune (not the extreme) is also an AWESOME daily driver. Basically smoke free, 400hp tune. Timing is lower than the extreme tunes so cylinder pressures are way down (much safer for those without studs) so torque is mid 600's instead of high 700's, but it's a really fun DD tune. Very good throttle response. Actually this tune is probably the best throttle response out of all of the tunes I've tried. It just gets up and goes from a stop.

I have not tried any from Matt @ gearhead yet, but he is next on my list, heard nothing but great things and he seems to be able to make some awesome smoke free tunes. The 6.4 crowd love his tunes.

I currently use Eric @ Innovative quite a bit, and Doug from GoGo. I would not hesitate to go with Matt though.

Smoke free is right. I love it. I get a haze but its nothing to blink at. I had a guy tell me, "i didnt think it was going to be that fast because it didnt smoke".
