When you return to stock, does it idle properly and does the exhaust smell normal?
I'm having trouble understanding what you mean when you say: "If I don't use the Load Previous Settings button and just load the level 2 tune and change the tires and gears it does but I can't tell if the changes took." What are you looking for to "see if the changes took"? (I don't see anything - except that the speed and odometer readings are correct).
I'm with you on being puzzled about some of the settings being reloaded even though you don't ask for them though. If I get what you are saying right, you are seeing the shift firmness still at +1, +1, 0 and the Max speed at 125, even though you don't "reload previous settings"?
I suppose one approach would be to use the Custom Options menu to reset everything to the settings Bill gave you when he wrote your tune, or was this the "canned tow tune"?

When I return to stock or even just use the level 2 tune with no changes other than tire and gears it seems to run normal.
I read a post of yours on f150 that said it was best to load the canned tune as is first then go back and rechoose it and then Load Previous Settings and then make your changes. If I do that it runs like crap and reaks of gas. Anytime I use the Load Previous Settings button it does this. If I make the changes while I load the tune I can't see they have been changed. Is there no way to tell if the changes you made were loaded by looking at the unit?
I get all that if I do Load Previous Settings even though I have put it back to stock and loaded the canned tow tune with just tires and gear changes two times now. I assumed that the Previous Settings would be the ones last stored in the unit and these are being dug up from 4 loads ago.
I am waiting for Bills tunes. I just had the unit show up in the mail last Thursday. I just wanted to play with it a little first as I heard I am looking at 3 months minimum for my custom tunes. I am not worried about the wait I just wanted to get used to the way the unit works and try a few things out while I do.
