    I followed the math to the point.. these mods won't break the truck. Myself alone put close to 10k since October on "home made" and shared tunes. Other guys probably even more...

    I know, I’ve got quite a few miles on modified versions of the various M&W tunes from @PapaRee and @Mooseditty17 and a couple of yours as well. My trucks got 90k miles on it with half of those tuned, comfortable with it, just like to study things before full send.

    I've been running Kreg's Kruiser 4.0 for about 300 miles and I'm all smiles. . . The Kruiser is working well, I haven't tried towing anything significant yet. My mpg's are around 17 to and from work which is mostly highway. I can baby it and get 20. Back in the day I would have been all over this tuning and testing, but these days work just keeps getting busier. Thankfully, there's a number of you willing to put in the time and share your knowledge. A couple of days ago I ordered the assembled 3rd and clamshell (5.29's) from ECGS. So, I'll be looking for an updated tune in a few weeks. :)

    Thinking about it more, I’ll add some vertical space between the overlap points. That point is likely where I get the 6>4 downshift where it skips 5th altogether.

    @BortisYeltzen I am sure you meant something else but it's been a busy week so this was a good laugh. :thumbsup:

    Thanks for the feedback.
    Everyone seems to like this tune! And getting better MPGs. I’ve been running it for longer than any other “test tune” and also have been getting 17mpg (up from tank avg. 16). Power is still there, smooth, predictable shifting.
    Anyone who wants to donate a little beer money and try it, PM me.

    Hey friends, I’m curious what exactly the Mild & Wild moniker means? I’m pretty new here and slightly tipsy. Forgive me if the answer is blatantly in front of me.

    Mild & Wild is a solid tune from @PapaRee & @Mooseditty17. Mild on normal drive and Wild on ECT.

    Nice. So it turn the ECT button into sport mode essentially.

    I've tried Mooseditty's M+W and PapaRee's tunes and both are excellent. Slightly different, and both are worth a try. Easily worth some drinkin' funds for their time and effort on behalf of all of us in the quest for the perfect tune, not to mention the cost of gas for QA. Do yourself a favor, try the tunes. And support their effort.

    I come bearing gifts!

    I used PapaRee's suggestion from here, 957, and copied over the values from the Ignition Timing Low Knock Direct and Ignition Timing Low Knock Port tables.
    I also created AGM variants of the regular and premium octane versions as well.

    Enjoy!

    Apparently it is a A+ tune.
    Have you made changes since the last one you sent me?

    Yep.
    Just don’t want to share publicly because I found out someone was making money with it.
    PM me for it.
