So if i wanted to I could go with the 08 shift schedules on that mcfail website?

I have to figure out first if the advanced trans setting is vin locked to the previous owner. If i have to purchase it for myself thats no biggie.
The trans options are VIN locked. You'll have to purchase for your VIN.

Advance tune. Choose 91 Tune, then options. Need to run 91 or better octane. Set Rev limit to 6400. Set WOT 1-2, 6000. Set WOT 2-3, 6050. Disable MDS. Start there. You can tweak your WOT shifts as necessary. If you decide to upgrade to the advanced trans options, my 2008 schedule is on the server.

Woah. Isnt the factory rev limiter at like 5800? You can go that high without hurting stuff?

Just curious cause if its safe I might go with that kill tune as well.

Many folks run the Rev Limiter that high. Chrysler is known to de-tune their engines.

I set my 2500HD Megacab to 6200 but, that's a good place for a heavy truck.

Many have run it that high without issue. My truck has been at WOT quite a few times.

Set it where you feel comfortable, but always give about 300 RPM between your rev limit and WOT shift.

When driven conservatively, my 2wd QC gets 14 mpg in town.

I always tell folks, don't buy a tuner solely for gas mileage. Too many factors contribute to mpg loss/gain.
