I've been running E85 with the level 3 tune and just filled up today. I don't think level 2 to will work with E85, last time I tried the check engine light came on and the truck went into limp home mode, or it was just running rough, not sure why, probably tripped the knock sender. I guess I will run this tank out and switch to regular gas and then to level 2 sense it works fine with 87.Tell then Ill take it easy, lol.

The check engine light likely came on due to P0171/174 codes. These are lean codes and the PCM is unable to correct the fuel trims or has to correct more than 15-20% from base. It takes A LOT more E85 per unit of air to compare to gasoline.

And probably, because of the CAI, the feedback loop between the O2 sensors and the MAF sensor was unable to compensate? (That would be my guess, anyway). That CAI may be driving you VERY lean. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you took the CAI off and ran it again with E85 on Level 2.

Anyway, welcome to the forum!

I'm really considering taking off the CAI and trying it again on 2, and thanks to every body for the reapplies.
