Scored a Triple Dog and Outlook, tips or advice?

Got any? Have a buddy that closed down his exhaust business and had some of these leftover. Scored the pair for an insane price, brand new. Any tips on which setting to run in for best mileage. Install tips or tricks? Thanks!

If you haven't already installed it, make sure you update it to the latest software version on BD's website before you do.

If you can keep your foot out of it Crazy Larry will give you the best MPG because of more timing.

These guys have pretty much summed it up, run on a high setting for the best mileage and be sure to update it. My tip would have to be, BE CAREFULL on the high settings. Watch your outlook and try to be nice to your trans, unless you plan on upgrading very soon.

Other than that enjoy! Go smoke a ricer and report back, youll be for days!

I found that I got a hair over 1 mpg better all around running it on "tow". The latest update sets the CEL unless you get the TSB ECM flash they recommend when you are installing 2.4.1

Be careful with Crazy larry on extreme with a stock auto tranny. Probably won't last too long!

I don't drive hard at all, set the cruise on 70-75 on the hwy and just let her eat. I will tow in tow mode, but was thinking of trying CL unloaded if it will help the most with mileage.

yea i talked to bullydog and you can run crazzy larry with the tq manage as long as you dont beary the pedal under 40 and you dont pull anything heavy. if you pull something heavy i sugest turning it down to tow. i screwed up my tranny but i pulled the tractor 90mph hour and raced ALOT!

I get the best economy on 'stock' setting.
I always hear Extreme or CL is best but when I try extreme I can't keep my foot out of it, in stock mode I drive like an old(er) man!
