Just made a 2500 mile road trip from Cali to Denver and back...the long way. Went the whole way with Innovative's extreme street tune and it was really great. No towing on the way there (three large guys total in cab+my black lab, and all our gear), but the way home we hauled nine 4x8 solar panels. No problems at all. Truck ran flawlessly. Tons of power and reasonable EGTs even in the thin-aired rockies...my buddies couldn't believe (and neither could all the cars and trucks that I passed) how powerful it was.

Just wanted to share!

ps- Smoked more than a few Dodges and Duramaxes on the way!

All stock engine wise. No studs or anything like that. I drive mellow 80% of the time. No puking. Just watch your EGTs and you'll be fine. The mileage was ok...except I just put 35" Toyo M/Ts (they rulee BTW)...but they hurt my mileage significantly. Prob. 2-4 MPG less. Depends on how you drive though. If you use stock size tires you will get better performance and mileage from an SCT tuned 6.0...I just wanted bigger, better tires. I don't mind the mileage loss much since my rig dogs BMWs, Benzes, rice burners... and mostly anything else within reason. It's great.

completely agree. I never checked my mileage when my truck was on stock tires but Im sure it had to be in the 20's. after a fill up, the over head console would sometimes read over 600 miles to empty. now with the 35's im lucky to get 400. anyone wanna buy them? lol only 3,000 miles on them.

I'm surprised. I have 35's on my truck and I'm getting around 525 miles per fill up. Granted, the majority of driving I do is highway, even when I run errands I'm assured at least a 30 min drive into town.

You guys that are posting 525 to 600 miles per tank-do you have the long bed with the bigger tank? The best I have done was 384 last week and I just started to cut out taking off from a stop sign a block from the fuel station and I was able to pump about 29.5 into my 29 gallon tank.
