Got the programmer 2 days ago and have been running the 85 performance. It is just want I was looking for. I did have 1 prob yesterday. When I went to fill up the fuel gage would not move and the low fuel warning kept coming up

. I had to put the truck back to stock program and disconect the battery. After that it has been fine. Hope it was just a glitch. I am over all very happy so far with the service from PHP.

How low did you run your tank before filling?

Also, did you leave your key in the ignition in the on position while filling?

The computer was saying I had like 30 miles to empty. I did leave the key turned on so wife my could listen to the radio. I have done both of these before with never any problems. I did recycle the key a few time with no luck. I will keep my eye on it to see if it does it again. I really have never had any problems with the truck. I have to keep this ole girl for along time. I was thinking of trading her for a 2011, but the wife knows how to keep me from doing it. She says you can but you will have to stay in the Army till its paid off.

I like what I do but I aint stayn for more than 21 or 22 years.

The reason I asked is because the one time I filled while leaving my key in the ignition in on position I had that trouble. You might have had it in the "on" position rather than the "accessory" position.

I have put 150 miles on this tank of gas and the gage is working fine. Must have been a glitch. I def like the performance tune. I have been running it and it is just what I has hopeing for. Ill try the tow tune next tank of gas

Any time you leave the key on while filling, the digital buffer for the gas gauge prevents the gauge from moving quickly to the full range. This is the "anti-slosh" feature which keeps the gauge from "bouncing" during acceleration and turns. Oddly, even if you turn the truck off and restart, it takes a while to correct itself. This issue does not occur when you fill up with the key off.

My trucks do the exact same thing if I fill with the key on and it's nothing to worry about. After a few minutes it should eventually level itself out.

Power Hungry thanks for the info. ? is it posible to get a 3rd custom tune without sending in the programmer. I was thinking of an E85 tune for my 3rd tune?

Not a problem. Just fill in the order form for an additional tune and we'll get something together for you.

Enjoy!

If you've ever driven an older Chevy truck (heck, even my 91 Oldsmobile does it), you know how annoying fuel level gauges are when they're not buffered.

Accelerate, gauge reads full. Decelerate, gauge reads empty. Turn left, needle goes one way, turn right, needle goes the other way. The only way to know what the actual fuel level is to stop on level ground and sit there for a minute while the fuel quits sloshing around.
