    Only takes 15-30 minutes. I hook up my laptop to your truck, identify the ECU, update it with a program called Techstream, then load my tune on the truck.

    Aggressive throttle response, smooth shifting, same or better MPGs (most better), stays in 5-6 on highway, very peppy in 1-4.


    I’m available today or whenever you are ready.

    -If you go in for warranty work, the ECU still identifies as "stock". The tune is not detectable with techstream.
    -I have my laptop with me all the time. Depends on what time. PM me.

    I am ready anytime!
    My laptop and cable are always with me.

    I am a nightshift Nurse. So I am always ready. I can tune your truck at 3am in the parking lot on my break.

    Did a few trucks this weekend, everyone was happy.
    Got text messages with increased MPG's for trips home. More power and smoother, predictable shifting.

    Edit 7/14/21
    Going up to $325 due to increase by OVtune. He is now charging 4 credits-$80 per truck for VIN identification before tuning.

    Wanting to wait for my two tank review. Wow there is an immediate change with throttle response. You touch the pedal and your gone no more sluggish starts. As for my mpg I have the V6 and the highest I’ve seen so far was 26.5 mpg now that was on backroads but still wow. I have recommended paparee to some co workers with same model truck and I hope they call. They have driven my truck and as soon as they get out first question is and how much was that dang it’s night and day.

    Got mine done beginning of the week. Definitely noticed the shifting has improved leaps and bounds, my fuel economy has increased by .75 MPG on the highway running 73 MPH, the throttle response is way better!
    The cruise control and 5th/6th gear seem to work better, less hunting for the sweet spot.
    Kreg did a great job with my his tune file. Anxious to see what else I’ll notice, the more that I drive it.

    Thank you for your reply man. How is the power comparison at lower RPMs and the rev hang? Those two are my biggest complaints.
