    Does anyone have 04b33 5.29s and 35s that want to run a tune? I think I've finally made tune nirvana.

    I think I’m probably closer to 17-19 right now in the cold. But regardless if it make the truck drive the way it should better MPG is just a bonus!

    Yes, register your VIN, then each time you flash you need a couple seconds of internet connection to prepare the ECU.

    Fun tidbit... I tossed @PapaRee some beer money for a tune a little while back, I had also downloaded a few tunes I found that were shared on here...

    So my buddy from work has a 2017 Sport... Now, I test drove a 2017 about 1.5 years ago and found its pep rather anemic, so I know this guys agony already.

    Too add to it, this is a "Car Guy"... His daily driver is the Taco, but he also has a Nissan GT-R, and if you know ANYTHING about the GT-R's, you know that cost some cheddar, and as Bostonians say... They wicked fast.

    I told him I'd hook him up and give him a tune. 1st thing I did was update his ECU from 04B02 to 04B04. Then I looked at the tune files I had...


    Hmmmm... A guy who owns a GT-R... Had to give the guy something a little extra special.


    There is was: 04B04_Reg_KregsPerfTowTune-ExtraTip.vft


    So last night he shoots me this in a text...


    "So fun story, on my way back from **** *** on the Turnpike, a Dodge Durango RT tried smoking me lol so I stepped on it and needless to say we were toe to toe... He tried overtaking me but couldn't pick up enough speed to cut in front of me - when I looked at my speedometer I was already at 120mph, not bad for a naturally aspirated v6 against a V8 350hp+ truck"


    Thank you to all the folks who contribute to this thread. Thank You Kreg..! You are appreciated. Hooking my buddy up brought a smile to both of our faces..!

    Just flashed the latest from papa last night. Unfortunately I only drive the truck weekends on the trail so I'll have to report back next week.
    But I'll say anything I've gotten from papa has been bang on. It's been loads of pep over the stock tune and it's also much more peppy than ovs tunes.
    Can't wait for my 5.29s next month mixed with this tune.
    I never thought this 6500lbs whale would be so alive!! :bananadance:

    I’ve been running his tunes for a while now.

    They’re very solid.
