    Pretty much the same here, although I found the Base premium file to be noticeably more "comfortable" to deal with in 6th on the highway. With SFOB Premium, you can feel that the engine is right there ready to accelerate with the slightest touch. That's awesome, but it gets a bit tiresome after a while.. kinda twitchy - like you're running in a lower gear. I know, I know, just use cruise.
    Base, while less responsive in this scenario, will still pull hills fine and is easier to deal with. You DO give up some low end with Base though.
    You guys are gonna find this strange, but the ideal tune to me would be 1-5 SFOB, 6th Base. I know it doesn't really work that way, and I also realize the single Torque map is the best thing that Mat has done for these trucks..
    Anyway, it's just an opinion. No need to get panties twisted.

    Im on sfob and have been getting around 20. I was getting 18 on my commutes.

    It has been warmer though and I'd contribute it to that honestly.

    Once I am done with this tank, I think I am going to try SFOB 87. There are still times when I get back on the throttle after shifting that the engine is not responding until I give it a lot more travel, especially going into 2nd and 3rd. Other than that, I like the tune.

    Is there any reason to believe that the impact/drivability will be any different for the AT when it finally drops? I known the overall gearing is a tad better for the Manuals. But other than that and whatever shifting issues remain, shouldn’t the performance be the same?

    The gearing in the manual is significantly better than the auto

    the auto will definitely be much improved with the bump in power and fixed shift logic.

    a lot of people want their trucks to run at low rpm, but from my experience if I run at 2500 rpm instead of 2000 rpm I seem to get better fuel economy.

    So I was on a "vacation" for 30 days. Any word? I assume no new 2019 MT files?

    I deleted the old version, downloaded the file and try to run it and error message says: vcruntime140.dll not found?? So I found the dll file from last time, threw it in the folders, seems to be working now.

    So 1.05.1 = 2.0?

    I am confused.
