y does every one hate hand helds. ive had a few friends run them with great results.

i do gues im realy lucky. were getting 15- 16 mpg. but thats alot highway driving back and forth to work

The hand held tuners are junk compared to a blackbear or pcm4less tune. There the same price as a Hyperjunk tuner, (some even cheaper) and you'll get better results.

a tune is less cost than a programmer with better results. I proved this on a dyno.

If you had a miss on 2 cylinders, it would have gotten worse MPG. Considering that the engine would have had to work HARDER to keep up. You'd have a lack of power, and the engine would have to work harder to keep up

the hand held is a generic tune that only takes in account for a few items like tire size modding shift points as to where the BB tune takes into account for every mod that has been done to your truck. You record a log of your driving style and Justin at black bear builds you a tune/tunes that you can feel and makes your truck come alive. For the amount of money youll be spending, handhelds cant touch a bb tune. Shoot My BB tune can chirp tires from 1-2 shift. No hand held can do that.
Also a hand held has one or two tunes on it. My Autocal Holds 5 at a time and i have a total of 8 tunes that i can switch between from at any given time i want.

There a vendor here, they pay yearly or monthly to be a vendor. No worries on getting scammed or ripped off man. Ive met Justin personally and is a great guy. Crazy as hellll but a nice smart guy..

The vendors are located on the right hand side of the screen.. PM them..

Might want to use spell check next time ;) no offense though man
