:cheesy smile:just wanted to give you two a great big atta boy!! since I had Bill live tune my 550 my mileage has gone up tremendously. The best I ever got before was 13.1. yearly average 12.2. the first tank after tuning was 11.9, but that was with alot of stupid stop and go in Atlanta and towing the trailer. THIS LAST TANK I GOT 14.3 ! Never ever have I gotten that kinda mileage on this big ol beast. I still love the way it runs and will continue to be your #1 cheerleader.

It's incredible the mileage gains that can be had with aftermarket tuning. They run really good stock but when modifying code they run REALLY good and pick up some economy boost as well.
I just heard today that I gave a guy an instant 2 MPG increase on his '02 CC dually...from 14 to 16. He's coming in for live tuning tomorrow so I can fine tune some shifting for him.
Thank you Bill for allowing me to serve my small farming community! :howdy:

Thanks guys... Knowing that I am helping to make a difference makes it all worthwhile.
Barney,
Glad to hear that your truck is responding to your expectations! (And maybe beyond...) I'm sure that the Adrenaline pump has had something to do with it as well based on dyno numbers we've seen, but tuning can certainly have an impact.
I hope your voyages continue to be safe and productive. Of course, if you find yourself this way you are always welcome to come by and visit. Maybe next time we'll fire up the grill and burn some cow. :2thumbs:
Cody,
Always a pleasure to be of service. We understand the importance of community and are extremely glad that we have been able to help you serve your community in some fashion or another. Can't wait to see you and your wife at SEMA. I may even treat you to a free buffet. ;) :rofl:

It's a good thing that it's a buffet and it's free because I have two hollow legs (so my folks and in-laws think). I'd eat you into poverty.:smiley_roll1:
