    Is the new buying/registering system supposed to be instant or is waiting for registration code still part of the process?

    I love the Kruiser tune but agree with @lapoltba. We must exercise caution and due diligence to keep making these trucks better and better. If something sounds new/different/off/weird/etc, definitely need to figure out why. When you fly and something like that happens, you sober up real quick. Maybe I'm just being super paranoid but I freak out a little anytime I hear something funky until I figure out what it is. Probably paranoid. Especially with vibrations.

    Ok, I'm paranoid.

    No waiting for registration code. You should have a master key in your email, that's all you need.

    No. You will overcharge/boil the standard lead acid battery.

    If it wasn't in any part of that email, I guess they get sent out later.

    Looking back on my emails, it took a few days from order receipt to get the master key.

    I grabbed a few gears and didn't hear any woosh. At least I don't think haha. Tune seems solid so far. Excited to put more miles on it.

    I've only had it happen when the truck went above 6k RPM's. It does give you an uneasy feeling the first time it happens, but I don't typically go that high in RPM's so it hasn't concerned me.

    What is your ECU ID. I'm sure someone can get you a good tune made / figured out.

    I agree that is what the TW community has been doing. Early on people traded tunes and information to make the tunes better, Mat started it of with the 1.5 and 2.0 tunes then @Mooseditty17, @PapaRee, and others took it to the NEXT level. I have always said some of the best tunes will come from the TW world with all the different trucks and testers out there. When I started the first things they told me was to monitor your or others tunes. I have flash some hellish tunes that I made that drove like sh*t and by monitoring them you will know right away by your temps/engine readings! I've had to pull over to reflash to something different because my trans temps were going over 200. Key is make small changes then test drive and monitor! Also don't be afraid to ask questions, a lot of great folks on TW to help you out.
