Wow i emailed blackbear but i guess i didnt realize that a tuner alone from them would cost me 600$ ... is this really worth that kind of money just for gas mileage... this is not a performance vehicle ... everything is factory basically ... i just dont know i wanna drop that kinda dough on simply trying to squeeze a few more mpgs out of the thing...

I'm looking to get one in the future too but from what I understand you'll get MPG's but also much better performance and acceleration. Much better than any other product out there. You can throw 300 down on a CAI and not see ANY difference so that makes the $600 for the BB tune seem worth it to me considering all the folks that have seen a "night and day" difference with it :shrug:

I was wondering the same thing. Is there a way you can make it stay in 4cyl mode for longer, like on interstate going around 65 or 70? I know you dont need mych power to keep the truck moving at these speeds. Im not giong to get an expensive CAI but I do plan on moding the stock system to get better MPGs and I want to get a progamer if it is worth it.
