Well, my MM3 and Shibby plug kit should be here today.

@DRD - just confirming if my speedo was recalibrated for the larger tires previously, flashing your tune wouldn't 'reset' it would it (and make me have to recalibrate again?)

And I may be regearing the truck to 3.73s, and I assume nothing would change for the tune as well?

I have AlfaOBD for those changes.

Installing the tuner and programming your truck will not affect what you've already done.

God bless,

I figured as much but just confirming.

Wish me luck; my truck will love it!

I ordered most of my weight loss parts on Wednesday.

I'm giddy as a schoolgirl waiting for them to arrive!!

I feel like it's early Christmas!!

MM3 Tuner and Shibby Plug kit received today.

There is a metal piece in the Shibby plug kit that goes on the DEF injector, maybe?

Not sure about the metal piece?

On my 2014 Shibby kit, I know I ended up with four or five extra plugs that I never used.

The ones that I used were great and didn’t require any that didn’t come in the kit.

Oh, I'm sure the kit is complete.

I'm glad to have purchased it - I like to be clean on my installs, so plugging up the exposed ends and tucking them nicely in the frame will make me happy.

I'm sure I'll figure it out once I'm under there; I just was thinking aloud.

I'll try to put a pic- mine says 16 plug kit, so maybe that piece is newer than the 14 kit you had?

Pulled my stock file, MM3 tuner plugged in and ready to go.

I have my truck on the charger tonight as I told another member, I either have to 'power through' to flash the truck and R&R the exhaust as we are leaving Friday AM for the beach.

So my beach trip is a lot of higher speed highway cruising and then just normal around town driving, about 170 miles worth one way, goes like this.

25ish miles of cruising, 50 miles of highway, few stoplights in between, then another 30 miles highway, some in town driving, and another 30-something miles with normal cruising below 60mph and stoplights.

Would this be ok for the transmission relearning?

And as far as I understand, NO exhaust brake and NO Tow/Haul usage for about 500 miles after the flash?

Is that accurate?

You should be fine, keep in mind the highway miles will not count towards your relearn time.

I recommend using the 30HP tune, no towing, exhaust brake, or tow-haul, and keeping the throttle under 50%.

See attached for further guidance.
