Had the servo installed by a trans shop (less than hour labor).

I did a routine trans filter/oil replacement, oil change (trans & oil changed using Royal Purple fluids), cleaned the intake filter and that's it. Plugs are recent so no need to do anything there.

Went with the Black Bear Performance tune. Switched to mid grade fuel and wow did the mileage ever improve. Without a trailer I can average around 450 miles to the tank. Before the tune I was at a best of 340.

The chirping at shift is just plain cool though. :)

Definitely. Had been wondering about the stress on it.
Thanks

Ok, I know our trucks will not all yield the same results after justin tunes them. I have the servo, k&N drop in, swiss cheese mod, Airaid intake tube, cleaned the MAF/TB before my tune. I got the 87 octane tune.

Now, you report going 450 miles on a tank, this is hwy miles right? What are you getting in town? I need to use 93 for a few tanks and see what I get in town, right now with 87 I'm averaging 13.5 MPG, not gonna complain about that at all because I have 22's and I know that affects MPG's. I will travel to east texas next weekend and see what my hwy miles are like. If I get close to 400 I would be happy. 450 miles is mighty impressive.

It is highway mileage cruising @ 70-75 from ATX to Dallas. Pulling the trailer on the way back to ATX had me at about 420 per tank.

In town I almost always have the same trailer (2500lbs) in tow and am averaging 12.5 per gallon. Still very good considering driving conditions are stop/go/lots of hill country driving.
