it resets your computer so it learns with the new mods, instead of using the old settings.

That's great, which do you enjoy driving better? Has the code came back at all and are you back to running the Range AFM unit?

I think the F150 had a larger interior cab room, no doubt
I occasionally do miss the 6.5' bed......but the tiny Silverado bed is also nice for trails and parking
I think the F150 rode a tad stiff, mostly of which I attribute to those terrible 20" tires
I am very glad my Silverado came with 18"
The code never came back, because I did not re-install the AFM device........I am curious what the MPGs will do, when I put some larger tires on the truck

That's strange, I've never had a code with my Range and can't imagine ever going back to the AFM crap, I hated it!

Keep us posted on the tune! I am also looking at diablew and the blackbear. My Range AFM delete likes to turn off randomly, but its never thrown a code. I really want to see what eliminating the torque management and changing shift points will do for the truck.
I know I'm late to the party, but just thought I'd share my experiences.
I would spend twice what I spent on quality shocks. Completely changes the feel of the truck, both on and off road. I can't say enough good things about my kings, and a buddy of mine has Fox 2.5 on his 2016 GMC. He agrees. Anybody weighing the added cost, should just wait and save. It's only money, lol
I have the Magnaflow kit on my truck, with the airraid intake tube. Sound was a little loud for me, so I had a buddy weld in a shorty high flow resonator. Now the truck sounds great, but there is no noticeable drone on the highway. I would assume any flow-through 14" muffler kit would be very similar. I did the intake tube first, and was surprised how much just that made a difference in sound. You might consider just having a muffler shop cut the flapper and stock muffler out, and replacing it with a flow through muffler of your choice.

I completely agree on the shift points needing updated, that's one thing I dislike about mine, it's the oddest shifting truck I've ever driven. I guess GM designed it that way in an attempt to get the best fuel economy, but man it really affects the driveability in a negative way.

Well stay tuned! I ordered a diablew tuner the other day. Pretty excited.
And I agree, Definitely seems to be setup for fuel economy ONLY.
