    If you send your system ID from the new email with your name, order number etc., that should do the trick.

    Thanks, I double checked my spam and trash folders, but didn't see anything. Order was from November 24th. I figured it would be an automated email, but gave it an extra couple days because of Thanksgiving. I sent a ticket request today to follow up.

    Yeah, I agree about people wanting to do their own changes either way but I was hoping the perf tune could remove 1st gear throttle limits for example lol

    Is there a link to a post that explains M&W 3.1 details? How does it compare to 19770 in your exp?

    Tipin is similar to 19770, but acceleration is improved and the engine revs out longer before it shifts to the next gear, which maximizes power since our 3.5L doesn’t make good power at lower RPMs as I am sure you already know. You can get a lot of info from page one on:

    Just about every 04b04 tune in the last 3 years up to the initial 2.0 tune for the dump tubes.

    again, the tunes work in so much as making it better than stock, but the tune can't compensate enough for the mechanical design/limits of the truck.

    I could regear the truck, do the twin turbo etc. to probably make it drive better, but again, just not liking the truck enough anymore to keep tossing money at it to make it suit me.

    Too much.
    I guess I should keep up on this thread, but I'm not reading 3,483 pages worth of posts. I'm still running a 2.0 beta from I don't know when LOL

    If you're happy with the tune. Nothing wrong with that. Updating or changing tunes is optional

    I just re geared to 5.29 and i'm only on 32s with only added weight of sliders. even with the tune and 5.29s it's not that great. It's definitely better, but I think most people blow it way out of proportion to justify the money they spent on it. I'm 04A61 2.0 Final and it still takes extra throttle to keep 65 on an incline.

    You're disappointed cause you need to give extra throttle to keep 65 when going up hill? What were you expecting gears to do? defy physics?
    ....realistic expectations

    Even slight grades that shouldn't warrant a heavy dose of throttle. Opposed to what it seems majority of guys posting saying that it makes it a completely different animal. I didn't have any expectations aside from around town improvement (which it does do). Just letting people know even with OVT, 5.29s are a mild improvement. If thinking that it will make you happy with a truck your not happy with, you'll be let down.
    And now back to the threads normal scheduled crapshoot.....

    Where can we can the files for Mild & Wild 3.1 and do we need to use VF tuner? I’m still running 2.0 base enhanced throttle via Flash Manager.

    I was gonna say that he should get off 2.0 and try a different tune cause that made a big difference on my throttle input on hills but you can just tell when a person is gonna be unhappy no matter what

    If that's what is holding you back from trying his tune you will get used to it really quickly! If not try another tune but it is really a great tune!
