Its tuned with EFI Live on a dsp5 switch. I have a 'stock', 'econ', 'tow', 'street', and 'race' tunes on mine. The switch was $40 from http://duramaxtuner.com/dsp5 and a friend of mine writes EFI live tunes so he hooked me up big time. I could see what he would charge if interested.
mine is a 02 crewcab 4x4 auto. no lift with bfg tires, not sure what size but I will check. They look close to stock. When I bought the truck I took it to a shop and they said the injectors were fine. that was 10,000 miles ago. I was told if they were bad it would smoke at a idle. Mine dont smoke when idling and only slight smoke at full throttle. I have heard that 13.5 was normal for my truck and some people say they get 20+. Id be happy with 19-20 mpg.
