EFILive's first VGT "Software Wastegate Tune"
All good suggestions, and I will be sure to keep an eye on ambient temps and where I fuel up but what makes me scratch my head is let's say I load up my previous OS (the one that had issues and caused an internal ECM failure code) that is loaded with the APPS sensitivity change (or mm3 multiplier or whatever... from a certain box tuner). One morning the truck will feel nice and peppy, the next morning (same ambient temps and all) the truck will feel like I loaded a lower power tune.
So far with the new tune on the new OS/calibration file seems to not have this issue. I guess it could be a problem with that particular OS on my truck? I will still keep watching this new one.

As far as fuel quality goes...there's a huge difference in the B100 I've been burning all summer and pump diesel. If someone had a way to keep B100 from gelling I'd run it the year round!
The new tune did not change so I think there's an underlying issue with my previous OS file(s). I won't go back to it since I've started tuning with the updated OS and calibration.

Yeah I'd say it's a huge difference. B100 has much less power. That's another reason that B5-B20 are better choices. They have the added lubricity, but don't take nearly the power hit that B100 does.
