    Got my pro update this morning from @AZC Edge.

    Went with normal throttle. Very similar to SLT, in my opinion. 45 mile ride home seemed much smoother, even compared to KDMAX. Shifts were on point and down shifts held very good RPMs.

    The wife even told me to slow down!

    @PapaRee and @TWTaco, home run again!!

    Met @TWTaco this morning in Fresno, got the Pro Tune (Sport) w/ AGM voltage adjustment. Came from stock and drove a little over 2 hours home. Day and night difference. The issues I hated about my truck are now a thing of the past. Well beyond what I was expecting. I knew the truck was a slouch and had miserable gear hunting issues and expected that to be rectified, but what I didn't expect was how smooth it was going to be. Had some long uphill sections going from Fresno to the coast and it held the gear and didn't shift multiple times. Completely exceeded my expectations. It is going to take some time to adjust to the truck driving like it should have from the factory, but I couldn't be happier. Seems weird to say, but I think it makes the truck safer, there is confidence now when driving around town that I'd never had pre-tune. Dave couldn't have been nicer and damn that guy's truck is amazing. Today was a good day!

    I downloaded the KDMAX Pro tune from @PapaRee last night and drove the truck around 80 miles today. It's an early report, but I am extremely impressed with the new tune. The smooth shifts and low end torque absolutely perform as advertised so far and I can tell it's only getting better as the tune learns. I was already pleased with the way 7.0 performed, but KDMAX Pro has lived up to the hype so far!

    Anybody closer than Phoenix, Salt Lake or Denver to the Four Corners area of NM? Interested in the KDMax Pro tune. Looking at the map there is a pretty big hole for coverage in the area.

    The good news is that it helps to get a bunch of highway miles on the tune right after flashing so that you are able to get some good WOT pulls and really exercise the whole RPM band. The more miles on, the quicker the tune "settles."

    Also, it's most definitely worth the drive 100%.
