    Well then my computer is wrong. Mine has truly broken in, and combined with the tsb rev 1, I can get 25mpg going around 50-55mph.

    Then I'm proud to be one haha. I used to average 19 highway too but now even in the city I can keep it above 20 without feathering it

    Man no way I do not believe this, I drive like Miss Daisy and I am getting 19 average. Something must be wrong with your truck computer I had them check my transmission software and they said it was updated. I looked online at the fuel averages on fuelly and the truck is getting about 19 so that is common I guess.

    On a good day with this Shift Sense Pro I can get 23.5 mpg going around 60 mph or about 21 going about 70 mph. Has helped my mileage quite a bit over ECT which was a solid 18 mpg.

    Yeah I can't believe that I like it as much as I do. It makes me actually like driving the truck. Stays in the power band and doesn't shift around endlessly. Shifts at about 2000-2500 depending on driving habits. Thought it was going to be a gimmick but it's worth it.

    Half ton anything is the answer to your power problems. I went from a 2013 F150 screw with the 5.0 to a 2nd gen. I love the small frame but even the 4.0 leaves a lot to be desired compared to any half ton I've had. Ever.

    Really?
    Mine are just the KO's that came with the truck.

    I think part of it is the winter blend of gas. Before I was seeing 15/18.
