At this point in time I am not d3leated. Yes, I know all the advantages, my '12 was and it ran terrific. I still have all the hard parts, but for now, the '16 will not be d3leated. At some point I likely will, but not yet. I don't even mind DEF as the first tank lasted over 4,000miles.
The mileage is really bad compared to the '12 w/ all else being equal. ~14.5mpg empty at highway speeds. the '12 easily got 18mpg.
The response time for lighting the turbo is slower than USPS Snail Mail.
Trans feels like a slush box in comparison to the g3arhead tunes I had on my '12. Tow/haul helps, but then mpg gets even worse.
So, asking for real experience from those who tuned an otherwise stock truck.
Which tuner is the best bang for the buck? My budget is kinda on the weak side.
Who's tunes do you like?
Any real measurable mpg increase?
Can it be 'woken up' in terms of turbo lag?
Any downsides?
Thanks in advance. PFA. Yes, I know the bug deflector is fugly, it isn't growing on me either.
