    Denton Texas, they're right down the street from me, maybe two miles away and the first mile is just getting out of my housing addition.

    Youll spend more money on a handheld programer and get less results. None of those are worth the money. Contact nelson performance and get a real tune. Hand held tuners are JUNK! No matter what brand they are all junk. The only way Id reccomend using a hand held tuner is like stated before having nelson send you one with a custom tune on it other wise dont waste your money on any hand held tuner!!!

    I was getting anywhere from 21-24mpg in my ecsb with a 5.3 that was just intake, exhaust and tune. Just because you have never gotten that doesn't mean it isn't true.

    I agree with statements above, get a custom tune from someone who knows what they are doing. You will pay virtually the same amount and be much happier.

    No. Just don't go wot everywhere. I cruised at 70ish. keeping the rpm under 2000 is a huge when getting good mileage with these trucks.

    Right now with my BDD cam I'm still getting 17-18mpg between city and highway.
