    You may have to buy vftuner and flash it yourself or I can do an ECM exchange. This just takes me buying one for your truck and programming it, then sending it to you to install on your truck, then sending me yours back--like core exchange.

    Thanks Brett! It was my pleasure - if you don't turn out to be addicted to throttle juice like @PapaRee and other "thirsty bitches," I'll get you tuned down to the lighter tip in no worries.

    Update on KDMax reg 6.0 LT custom/AT:

    After trying both regular and LT versions and with much time and talent from @PapaRee to get it “just right”, I settled on a KDMax-reg-6.0-LT custom tune. So far I’ve concentrated on acceleration and upshifting points when in D and have no complaint. It all works goood, and exactly what I asked for. Also, mileage after 3 tanks so far is ~20mpg.

    (To see the results I’m using a scangauge to display the current gear and trans temps)

    Today was downshift day in D. I was looking specifically at where all the downshifts were happening and I’ve found out that nothing needs any adjustment. All the downshifts are occurring at the appropriate speeds and to the correct gear, city and hwy. A commanded downshift can be 1 gear (slight pedal pressure) or 2 gears down (1/4 pedal) and totally under control. Absolutely no gear hunting.

    I haven’t found a need to turn ECT on yet but will use it when I start towing the camper next month. I’ll report my results after the first tow. (ECT+S4 power & trans temps). Camper weighs 3250 loaded. I’ve had good results with previous tunes so I don’t expect anything less from this one.

    I've been running the same tune for a couple of weeks. I echo all your findings. Nice work KDMAX creators and testers!!

    @PapaRee so if I’m looking to get the KD and do this myself, I need to buy the Cable from VF tuner and then purchase it from you?. How do these licenses work exactly?

    They have a website vftuner.com
    Go to resources, then instructions.

    Vftuner software has a download link on the first page of vftuner.com.

    Once you buy the Vftuner package with the cable, Mat will send you a sign in "master Key", this allows you to open the vftuner software and use it.
    Then you buy a tunepack with tunes (from Ovtune or myself) and flash the tune to your truck.
