Had my blackbear tune and k&n intake kit in my 99 Denali for about 2 months now and finally got it on a road trip to check highway mpg gains along with city mpg gains.

City mpg went from 8 to 11 avg
Highway mpg went from 14 to 17.5 avg

And that's driving with a heavy foot, 190k miles, and the crap ethanol fuel Illinois insists on using.

Even without the mpg gain the blackbear tune is sooo worth it, completely changed how the truck drives, it is much more pleasurable to drive now and the power difference is very notice. My truck doesn't feel like it's struggling at 80mph now and will cruise happily at 90mph if I want it to. That tune is worth twice what it costs.

Just the traditional tune, fill out the form online and wait for it to show up. My truck is mostly stock so I just went with the simplest route.

Forgot to mention it's the 91+ octane tune with the firm setting for the transmission
