I'm only running the 87 tune on mine and can squeeze 20 mpg on the highway, but I have other mods as well. What I gained in mpg, I'm losing with the added wind resistance if my lift. Still happy though, and don't really see a need at this time to run the 91 tune, but have the option.

It looks like I am going to put the Hyper tech in the budget.
Brand New I was getting over 22 MPG on the highway with the truck empty. Very happy with that. Towing a 4500 lb boat 1800 miles I got 14.5 MPG and I was very, very happy with that.
These 6 speed trans sure do feel different than the old 4 speed in my 2000. I will probably not change shift point due to affecting mileage but will change firmness.
With having the aftermarket intake and exhaust I am hopeful can gain a couple miles per gallon.
Thanks Everyone !!

i have a superchips and it gives me a noticeable improvement, not in mileage though, i get crap mileage on all my vehicles, must be the leadfoot and my ethanol filled gas.
fyi custom tunes, unless its on a dyno, will still be a form of a canned tune one way or another. they take your current programing strategy code you provide, and just pull up a canned tune for it, and maybe tweak it just a bit depending on how the tuner normally likes to do it.
dyno tune, or everything else is canned, i am happy with my superchips tune btw.

I use 87 octane in mine, I don't think the price for premium is worth it.

When I save up some cash, Troyer Performance is going to hook me up with an SCT tune. I can't wait to see the difference.

Did any of you have to wait for a tune to be made when you bought your tuners? The reason I ask is I bought a Superchips Flashpaq last week and found out they didn't have a tune for my truck. I was told they had all my info and would start working on it and that it would take 2-3 business days. I called back Monday because I found info on their site for the 2008's. For whatever reason mine is different. According to the guy they still hadn't started working on it. After some other issues I hung up and sent the tuner back. So now I'm looking around at other tuners. But if I'm going to have the same issue with tunes I'll spend the extra money and go with 5 Star.
no i didnt...5.4 engine and all i did was update it...

I updated mine before trying to tune the truck. What got me was them making some sort of change to the updater and then blaming me for the issue. And the guy talking to me like I'm dumb didn't help things. I was already frustrated at that point so that didn't help.
