if you have a battery charger, the install is easy. The instructions are a little confusing at times. The screen shots you follow are not exact sometimes. But you basically click a button to accept a few items and let it sit and load and unload. It is time consuming, but very easy.
and as long as you can turn accessory on, you can reflash
The vehicle runs pretty much exactly the same in regular mode. Click the lever over to sport and it is a different animal.
I mentioned the Limp Home Mode the other day. But I shut her off and when I refired, it was gone and I drove the truck alot after that and no issues. I have to say the software is safe. I cannot determine if it is hurting the rings and pistons tops with all the extra boost. But i think the BMW adpative system keeps a pretty good watch on lean conditions. If one were to appear, i think it will pop right into Limp Home.
Gas Mileage??? I have no clue. i just add gas when it needs it. I used to have a 2010 QX56, so I am not that concerned. Personally in regular mode, it is probably the same.
The factory tune runs really rich. I bet A/F is in the 12-1 range!!!
My tailpipes used to have alot of carbon all the time. It seems less now.
So with regular driving mileage can hypothetically improve???
I highly recommend the ESS. For 2k, you cant beat it. I still want someone to get a Dinan tune and see how it runs. I am willing to bet, it would be similar to the killer Renntech Tune.
