We need someone to bring us a 5.3 truck with very few or no mods for a gas mileage tune. You bring $100.00 the truck full of gas; leave it for a day; we will check mpg on a specific route and then again after the tune on the same route. Prefer DFW. If you want a more aggressive tune instead of the economy tune we will change the tune before you pick it up. Basically, you get a tune for $100
Give us a call.

Dale, let me know if your Dad is interested in the $250.00 tune.
Just trying to be fair.
Ive got unlimited 05 credits so I may try a mileage tune myself.It would just save me several hours of me doing it

Will you be able to setup the PCM to control a set of 07 factory efans using the nelson performance harness?
dang i got an 06 crewcab but already did headers and a nelson tune
It wont take all day, but I would still prefer to have plenty of time since I need to drive the truck to get a mpg comparison.Quote:

We can set it up so the fans will work.
Naw its cool...Im getting a tune either way haha I was just seein

I have the rad and fans, just not installed yet, im going to order the harness from nelson in the next few weeks, and id like the fans to come on and work once i install the harness. Id also like to put a lower temp t-stat, and ive read a few things that say a 170 is the best compromise as far as power and ecomony, but not sure how that will affect your MPG tune.
Whens the next time you are planning to be in Houston?
EDIT: Ok, well some things came up today, and im not going to be able to get out of town to be there friday for you to tune the truck. The soonest i could get up there would be sunday the 16th, and i can have the truck at the shop monday morning for some tuning. If this is cool with you, then thats the plan, if you want to get this done alittle sooner i completely understand, and if there is sombody more local that can do it, feel free.
I should be coming to Houston in the next few weeks. I will get with you when we do and see what we can do.
Thanks.
