Do you think the truck will eventually get used to the new ratio and "overcome" this sound and vibration the longer I drive with the 87 tow? Or should I just stick with the level 1 until I get the custom tune? Thanks for the help.
As I said, I cannot see this "drone" effect as being harmful, just annoying. Personally, I'd stay with the Level 2 tune unless it just irritates you too much. There's really nothing in that tune that should/could hurt your engine with a stock intake.

But, you've definitely narrowed this down to some anomaly in the canned Level 2 tune engine parameters. I'd make sure Bill knows about this when you order your custom tune(s).

I honestly don't think the truck will get used to anything, but YOU may.
