Thank you very much for your quick and in depth response I REALLY appreciate it.
2. Summing up my driving habits in detail is tough because it can change so often. Any given day will bring city driving, non-traffic(high speed) highway, or heavy traffic(slow) highway. Any increase in overall economy throughout general driving conditions would be great with me, if that's possible.
3. That's great that the canned tunes can be kept because I occasionally tow and don't find it happens enough to get a custom tune. The canned tow one should do just fine when its needed.
4. I currently rarely run 91 octane in my truck. I remember reading that these trucks would barely see a performance gain by running 91 octane without a performance tune of some sort. I would run 91 octane if i would be truly getting the performance advantages out of it.
5. Pod coloring be fixed as the slate grey should be just fine my interior is grey. Just wanted to make sure of my options and didn't have to specify when ordering.
6. As for the mods done to the truck I completely understand where you are coming from!
a. The Throttle Body Spacer was a gift so I figured I would use it. I never personally bought one based on having the same idea as you, that they don't help. The funny thing is and surprise to me is that I have actually seen an increase in MPG's since installing it. So I guess it cant hurt!
b. I will look into the Gotts Mod, as I have seen it mentioned before. I am so pleased with my current CAI as I have had issue as of yet! I will keep my fingers crossed!
c. The big tires and rims are definitely the culprit to the poor fuel economy right now. Once those were put on is when things changed. Since then is also when I noticed the transmission shifting a bit different. I hoping that the tunes will improve the shifting as well. I have not put to much thought into re-gearing but that is always another option!
Thanks again!
