Bad Dawg is off the scale

Bought the Superchips programmer and used it before a trip this last weekend. Seems to have helped the shifting a little. Not as much as I had hoped though. The power increase seems noticeable once it gets moving. I set it at the "Performance" setting first to see if I could tell any difference. We drove up into the mountains for dinner Saturday and then back down with an overall MPG average of just over 11mpg. Before the programer we were getting 12-12.5 mpg. We'll see how it does this week.

The shifts are firmer and don't seem to hang in a gear as long as before.

As we programmed the rig we measured our "37" MTR's. They are measured from the ground to the top of the tire. I was surprised at how much difference there is between the real overall height and the "advertised" size. They measured 34.75"! (At least that is what the owner of the 4x4 shop helping me measured it at). I need to double check his measurement.

You can never have enough horsepower! Yellow LUX, Airforce intake, stainless headers and exhaust, Gobi rack and ladder, roof mounted off road lights, full wrap brush guard, rear light guards, outside tire carrier, Rancho 4" suspension lift, Ultra "EN4CER" 17x9 wheels, Goodyear 37/12.50R17 MT/R tires, removed side-step bars, 9.5ti warn multi-mount winch.
