I missed you, 6 weeks ago we were in Tucson. We left flagstaff area yesterday heading towards Taos, NM. Then continuing north. I’m still running my original 100 amp alternator with 42,000 miles on her. Would have loved to got your 100 amp alternator for a spare. But shipping costs and not...
I’m loving the 8.5-9 mpg.
It would be very difficult to change the program it would be easier if we could find a program already in use by a different vehicle with the same engine and transmission. Probably like finding a unicorn.
It would have to benefit from reprogramming and getting 7th gear back in use. What speed are you able to get 7th gear to engage? I’m in a 2003, with 3.90 and eco hubs. Hit 80 tried to get it to shift into 7th and it wouldn’t so I gave up. My normal top speed is 60 and never want to go 80 again.

That is correct it might look funny but after running these aluminum wheels for 2years and almost 20,000 miles I love them. Plus my CTIS is working with less potential leaks from the wheel hoses.
