So now you guys are coming full circle to make my point.
Be it emissions or transmissions something is likely to give or malfunction as a consequence of tuning.
Tuning ultimately increases maintenance and or repair cost. hat additional power creates other issues that I can do without.
Pick your poison, pay me now or pay me later. Experience has taught me tuning leads to unintended consequences that maybe minor or they maybe costly
Reliability and longevity are more important that fun to drive, although ShinerBock I do get your point, you enjoy the performance and fun tuning provides you and your willing to pay for it. Totally understand it,we all have are vices.
Every $$$ we earn does not need to be spent in a rational way. It's OK to spend a few $$$ for pleasure.
To those that enjoy tuning go for it, for those cheapskates like me be ready to pay for those unintended consequences if you tune.
At this point I simply rather drive my truck than tinker with it! Tuning leads to tinkering.
