pwall Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Ok, so perhaps this thread shoild have said "Newbie originally from NFLD". I'm from Grand Falls originally.
Nytemare Posted March 16, 2007 Author Posted March 16, 2007 Its awesome....no matter where you go there's always newfies...LOL
Nytemare Posted March 16, 2007 Author Posted March 16, 2007 well of course... Hey noticed you have the wait4me tune....how do you like it? I was lookin at it the other night, save you any fuel? at 110.9 a liter I need something to save fuel.
pwall Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 I got the tune in the Fall.....I just love it. It really woke the truck up. And that's with a 89 octane tune (which means I can not use 87 octane or the engine will ping). I'll start towing again next weekend (24ft travel trailer) so time will tell if the tune helps with that. In terms of mileage, I have not yet actually figured it out. I am getting more on a tank of gas though for sure...just haven't done the math to determine mpg. However, now with the tune, I tend to have a slightly heavier right foot. ;) In my opinion, it's the best $158 you can spend on your truck.
Nytemare Posted March 17, 2007 Author Posted March 17, 2007 cool man... from what I read on here and other testaments from happy customers I am really leaning that way. I gave him an e-mail...asking if he shipped to Canada...but I guess that question is answered, LOL I'm just lookin for the fuel economy tune basicly, nothin too crazy, maybe a few extra ponies. Thanks again man
pwall Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 If you order from Jesse (wait4me), I would recommend that you order the tune with the PCM included ($158). That way, you still have your 'factory' PCM and no downtime for your truck. Also, ask him to ship via the US Postal Service (USPS) and NOT the UPS. They'll charge you almost an extra $50 as a brokerage fee....basically legalized theft.
