I have had other tuners in my last truck (06 F-350 6.0l) and some tuners worked better than others as far as transmission shifting. Also, I am wondering about possible premature plugging of the DPF. Any thoughts on that?
There Tow-65-80hp tunes have one particular transmission file. The extreme file has another with some more shift firmness.

I have been busy fixing problems like for your truck. Believe me if i dont post for a couple days. Its not because i am ignoring you, its because i am very busy doing R&D work here in house. Lately we have been slammed with work to do.

Which tunes tend to get the best MPG? Majority of my driving is commuting with occasional towing.

80hp seems to get really good feedback. I would try them all.

I just did one. 08 f450 tow truck. Reporting 7mpg before and now 11.5 and this is on the extreme tune. Gonna put it back on the smaller one and should get some more out of it.

Your particular filter catches all of the soot. So you do not see smoke.

Well, I have been using a superchip flashpaq up until I ordered the predator 2 days ago and It gives 114 horsepower and my truck blows smoke with that programmer. I guess different programmers do diffeent things.

Just bought a new '08 f450 dually, 4.30 gears and automatic. I had great success with th predator in my '07 6.0. Any ideas on what kind of mileage i could get with a tune?

Thanks

I have seen over 5+ mpg improvement with the tune installed.
