So MPG update.
Took a trip this weekend from my house to Key West for a little drinking weekend (I feel for you guys in the cold!!!!!).
Round trip was 352 miles. crusing speed ranged from 35 to 90. I had the 93 octane tune and based on EVIC (reset before I left) I was at 19.8MPG.
Last time I took a similar trip witout the tune I was at 18.6mpg.
I know its not perfectly calculated but I cannot complain!! POWER and ECONOMY!!!!!

Thanks guys for reporting back on the mpg's. Looks like so far it is all positive news. Now I just have to wait until they have a chance to get a 2010 in to see what changes have to be made.
I called down to Diablo just on the chance that the 2009 tune would work-but no luck with that.

Loving all the positive feedback about the Diablo for our trucks. However, I still have one concern in regards to the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. When you return the tune back to stock, can a dealership tell if the pcm has been altered by an aftermarket tuner? I remember someone stating the pcm retains memory if an aftermarket tune has been applied, even after returning to stock.
I know we have plenty of dealership techs onboard and I would love any input that you all, or anyone, has in regards this concern. Thanks.

Thats the exact reason I don't have nor will have one. I wish the truck didn't have the warranty so I wouldn't feel so guilty about having one.
I'm sure they will find another way to void any service I get 100k down the road but until then I hope keeping the truck stock will pay off one day.

Can you describe the power increase? What I am wondering is if it is very noticeable under normal driving conditions or more so at WOT. I have the 3.92's and most of my driving and accellarating would be in between 1500 and 2200-2500 rpms. So how does it feel when you are not really standing on it?
Thanks
Thanks

Mike from Diablo emailed me last week and said,"Yes, no footprints." when I sent the email "I should be receiving my Trinity Friday. I will be more than willing to help out come Monday. I know in the past customers have claimed no footprint, is this still the case?"
I also spoke to a mechanic that told me to be safe always take the tune off 2-3 days in advance so that it can go through 2-3 drive cycles to reset anything. He said as long as you do this you will have no issues.
