    I went yotawerx tune and I always throw myself in the seat when I haven't driven the truck in a bit. It's sensitive! So, I vote going the tune route.

    Removed those Shin blasters, added some nice 20” wheels, and slowly looking to level the SR5 in the front.
    I did that. The person listed was really out of Columbia. I found it hard to believe that there are not others in Greenville SC that Tune. Or maybe just not for KDMAX software?

    I have KDMax v10 in my 2019 sport now. I have banks and pedal monster on my 17 duramax... way prefer the full tune from @PapaRee, & @TWTaco (KDMax tuning group), over the add on bandaids.

    they have tuners all over north america, or you can opt to send in the ecu for bench flashing. or self flash with cable and license from VFTuner (the software kdmax uses), then you are free to flash your truck as much as you want, with little to no assistance. or you can opt for their remote tuning option, where they send you a cable, and remotely log in to your laptop/truck, do all the updates, and then the tune flash, of your choice. best customer service in the business, as far as I am concerned.

    I started out with the sprint booster, went to the OV2.0 tune, went to the KDmax tune, and have settled on the OTT tune. Just get the OTT tune or the KDmax tune and be done with it. https://overlandtailor.com/

    I researched a bunch before going with the OTT tune. I found several people that have tried both the OTT and KDMax tune and every one of them said the OTT was better. Link below will get you info on nearest tuner. Most tuners also travel around and do tune events that might be very close to you, just have to call them.

    I’m timid to welcome software gremlins. You guys have no problems there? Just prefer one feel over another?

    I went with the KDMAX 10.0 tune yesterday, shifting response is very much cleaner and no jerking from 3rd to 4th gear.

    I'm surprised this question hasn't come up in this thread, so I will ask... would tuning a brand new truck cause any warranty issues?

    I am very happy with my Sprint booster.
    Don't want to tune yet, as I only have 11000 miles and don't want to void my warrrantee.
    Sprint Booster made in Europe.
    Pedal Commander made in China.
