"5 star tuner" on a V-10?
Does anyone have any personal experiences with something called "5 star tuner" on a V-10 that they could share, or any other computer tweaks worth knowing about?

My issue is mostly the neurotic downshifting.
John, I know your V10 doesn't have the TorqShift tranny so you may not have had a lot of driving time with one behind the V10 in a Class C rig.
With our TorqShift, driving the motorhome full time in it's Tow/Haul mode pretty much stops the downshifting. Since a motorhome loads the chassis heavily all the time anyway, probably a Ford engineer would say keep it in the Tow/Haul mode all the time as that's exactly what the mode was meant for.
With your tranny - which has less gear combinations (I believe the TorqShift has 6 combinations, with only 5 being under control of the driver) than a Torqshift - I'm not sure how it's Tow/Haul mode (does it have one?) would act to reduce excessive downshifting.
