APPS Reset Question
If I am having no problems other than mileage that I think is too low, 14.5 around town, is there any harm in doing an APPS reset? This is the 2001 in my signature. It has about 115k on it now, and I have had it for about 30k of that and since I have had it, the APPS reset has never been done. Retired guy who made no mods had it before I did and I doubt he ever did anything like that either.
Any thoughts?

So it does not appear that resetting the apps could do anything but help what ever issues I may/may not be having. I just want to make sure I am not doing something that will cause me a problem considering I am towing my RV about 300 miles on Friday.

Sorry for so many questions--I just want to do things right. What is the difference between the APPS reset and the re-cal that is mentioned?
Anyhow, this is the procedure for the APPS reset that I found that I plan to follow.
Thanks for the help!

This procedure has shown to help 24 valve ISB engines. It is basically teaching the fly by wire accelerator on these trucks to reread the position of the pedal and it's limits. Most complaints this will help with is poor acceleration, improper shifting, bucking in 5 and 6 speeds. Has been known to increase fuel mileage in some instances.
1. Set parking brake
2. Disconnect negative battery cables on both batteries
3. Turn ignition key to run(to drain any remaining capacitors)
4. Let truck sit for 30 minutes( this is the recommended minimum)
5. Return ignition to OFF position
6. Reconnect both batteries and secure, not a timed event
7. Turn key to run position(not start) and depress accelerator pedal slowly all the way to the floor
8. Allow pedal to return to top position slowly
9. Turn ignition switch OFF
10.Release parking brake
