All I can say is I got this in today thanks to David at Northride 4x4, and it's freakin awesome! I updated on my laptop the walked out and plugged it in. The easiest thing ever! I averaged 20.3 mpg on backroads 15 miles stop signs and running anywhere from 35 to 55, and that was on the 87 octane not Mileage XS. Oh yea didn't mention I run 35s which actually measured 34.25.

Shouldn't the high be 1.000 (1 to 1 gearing) and the tcaselow be .250 (4:1)

After a week of the superchips engineers sending me updates, I still can only look at the VIN number. Error G-3F seems to be thier achilles heel. If I didn't know better I'd think this thing is broken.

I tried the mileage tune. The only thing I noticed was a change in shift points and perhaps a little loss in seat of pants power. The mileage did not change from the 87 tune. I have since gone back to the 87 tune.

Same here. I noticed shifting to next higher gear occurs a couple hundred RPM sooner. If you keep your speed relatively slow (~60 MPH) on the highway, it may increase fuel economy, but it shifted into OD too soon for my taste.
