funny you mentioned the dead throttle... It is pretty significant when I first start up in cool weather.. Actually had to flip over to another tune to get out of the driveway a couple days ago.. didn't want to wait for the truck to warm up a bit. I did buy 5w40 Rotella synthentic oil for my next oil change... I want to see what difference that makes too... currently on Delo 15w40 dino oil....
Also considering going to the Flex a Lite 278 electric fan setup.... just seems there would be some good advantages to it...
- faster warm-up
- more fuel efficient
- better A/C cooling at low speed and low rpm
I need to makes a few more modded tranny tunes so i can reflash a full set of 6.
going to try a couple tweaks to the Cruise control parameters too...
just got to squeeze in computer time between watching my kids..
If my understanding is correct the early SOI improves fuel economy right? too early and you get the DP 80E effect
