Hey guys I have not messed with the tune whatsoever, it is the tune that Bill programmed into it and I have not altered it in anyway. The truck runs okay in stock mode with the mods but not great I would say...The hesitation that is common is still there and it seems to run a little rough at certain times but not really cutting out or anything...It will cackle a lil bit if you rev it up and let off but I don't think it is nothing major...I think that the right tuning will make everything work better but it must be a tricky exhaust system to tune for?...It will stumble a lil bit in the stock mode because I don't think the computer compensates quick enough for the throttle load at certain times which makes it feel like a big pooch! Anyways I am going to wait to hear back from Bill but in the meantime do you think I should try anything with the truck...I am going to check the fuel filter this weekend at home and make sure that it is fine and I think that I am going to add a fuel cleaner just in case there is a little bit of water in it I can hopefully get rid of it and I don't think that it would be a big waste of money considering most of them are around $5!...My truck is a 2008 and has just about 10,000 miles on it so there shouldn't be any problems but I keep thinking that the cold weather might be causing some of the symptoms hopefully...anyways I just thought I would add a couple more things to up-date the situation and the cut-out that I am experiencing is like it sputters and misses as you try to get back up to speed...almost like it does when you are not getting enough fuel I guess to describe it as???....It just doesn't run smooth in the range that I mentioned and definitely is affected by the tuning of the programmer? Hope I can figure something out...
