    I think people are digging all of them.

    Is there a convenient explanation of all 4?

    This morning was the best commute by far in this truck :thumbsup:

    I've had the Prem-Base 2.0 Tune loaded for about 2 weeks (~800 miles) and everything seems to have settled in really nicely. Prem-SFOB was a little too much for taste with daily driving.

    The truck nearly has me re-trained now and I have to say that this is what this Truck was supposed ta drive like. I may need to give the SFOB a go again sometime, but I am very happy with the results of the Prem-Base 2.0 tune. Cold wet mornings always made me feel like I had completely forgotten how to drive a MT - and this morning, everything was smooth as silk.

    I had my 17 year old daughter drive the truck over the weekend, she's gotten to be a pretty good MT driver, but the difference between the last time she drove the truck and now were marked - no tears at all this time, except for a little fatherly pride :hattip:

    Only problem I can really see with the new tune is gears 3, 4 & 5 are feeling a little lonely with the new Rev-Limit. 1 & 2 are loving it and I periodically try to make things up to 3 getting around random knuckle-heads on the highway :anonymous:

    Karminski thanks for the report. By too much what do you mean about SFOB?

    At work doing the split shift. We are defense and satellite critical. The good news is I get out early. So this afternoon!

    Takes five minutes. Get it done before your drive home.

    Don't forget to reset your LVs after the flash.

    Just seemed a little jumpy or twitchy with the throttle. It might have settled out in time (as I'd reset the LVs and didn't give it much time) and I might have even learned to love it, but I'm impatient like that o_O

    I had the same basic opinion of 1.05 93 FOB, but again, I'm kinda old and impatient anymore and was more interested in drivability than performance. Although the 2.0 performance aspects are really growing on me.

    Walk home to get your laptop, then walk back to flash your truck. That way you can enjoy it on your drive home! :thumbsup:

    Can someone please post the premium base file for 19. Dongle less. No matter what I try the flash manager original, 1.3, 1.35 it will not let me download the premium base file. The SFOB downloads just fine. No idea what gives.
