does anyone know if it is possible to run the CAI with the tranny tune? I only ask since the tune doesn't do anything to engine. Just a thought since I figured it would be no different then running stock with CAI. Also does anyone know if my 03 model year truck has a lean problem with the CAI? I have been told this primarily effects 05+ models. I'd like to continue with the performance tune but gas is getting back up there and I am not sure how the tow tune is as far as a daily driver. Thats why I am considering doing the tranny tune.

Sure, you could use the tranny tune with the CAI - as you said, it's pretty much like the stock tune as far as the engine is concerned.

But, before I got my 87 non-tow tune, I used my custom tow tune (and before that, the canned tow tune) as the daily driver. It was fine as far as I was concerned.

well I know its ok to use the cai with the tow tune, but which would be better as far as mileage goes? tranny or tow tune? Thanks.

You're probably going to see a slight reduction in MPG using Level 2, but, I don't think it's much - especially during a constant cruise.
