Kind of a funny story. Installed the Predator 65 tune in the truck. Wife wanted to watch so I said fine. Well after all the comments (what was that?, Is it supposed to do that? etc. etc.) I got it installed. I pull out on the road and give it a little. Pretty strong. At this point I'm going kind of easy because the tranny is still learning. I go up to probably around 60 mph and the wife looks over at the speedometer. Holy Censored she screems.....SLOW DOWN. I'm wondering what the Censored she's yelling at and look down at the speedo. 115 MPH:eek: . I'm thinking, ok what's up? I tell her to calm down we are not going that fast. Anyways, I pull over and check the tire size I put in for the actual tire size. I had accidently put in 285 x 16 x 75. 75" rims will make your speedo go up real fast. Great mileage though):h. All is well. Just watch out when you input the tire sizes):h .

Wives?, got to love em tho, can't live with em, can't live without em.
Mine? well ! she's kept me out of a lot of trouble over the years....kinda like my truck....don't know what I'd do without either of them
I let my wife drive my big block S-10 once. I knew she wasn't paying attention as she got onto the interstate. I finally asked her how fast she was going once we hit 90.

My wife hated riding in my truck...."too noisy", blah, blah, blah...then she drove it one night for an errand....I told her to turn the Banks 6Gun up to L5 before she left....and the only thing she said when she returned was..."wow, sure is fast"....hasn't said a word about the noise, ride or anything else since then....guess she's hooked on it now too!

did the 65hp tune make a big difference? how did you tranny react at first, and did it take long to make good use of it?

65 makes a big diff. At first the tranny seems confused as to when to shift. It kind of hangs up between shifts. Meaning the shift takes longer. This is day 3 (~30 miles city) and it's almost back to shifting normal. It takes about 1.3 seconds to get good use out of it. First time you mash it you smile:) .

lol... i bet if given the choice, she'll start driving your truck before taking her car for an errand

Yes I [B]agree as i also run the predator with a St. 2 AFE an a 4" turbo back MBRP exhaust on my 05 LLY.. @ 1 st I thought WTF trhe tranny is screwed but later as with all it got better... Have run the 65 hp setting an recently went to the 85 setting, can't really tell a big difference.. Guess will try the 100 hp setting an see what it feels like... I also read somewhere on here that a guy ran the 100 hp setting on a otherwise stock truck an made like 349 rwhp an 700 rwt .. If thats true OMG
