You should try doing a better job at spending your money than your wife. LOL
I've been on both sides of tuning (gas/diesel) and diesel gains made it a lot easier to swallow the price. I keep thinking about tuning my 15 6.4L but I remember the gains I got from my 2012 1500 5.7L and it makes it hard to swallow 1k+ to tune this truck. Plus I'd be very tempted to add long tube headers.RE: Tuning -- That's what I read too. Not worried -- it's only $$$ -- and if it's worth it, I'll have my factory PCM to go back to if I sell, etc... In the diesel world -- they drop over $1k all the time -- but the gains are far more substantial.
So the evaluation would be $1k+ to tune a gasser -- how much benefit would be enjoyed? If the shift points, torque converter lockup on the 66rfe would be greatly improved along with extra fueling in the mid-to upper range, it might just be.
This is where your opinion is so valuable to someone like me contemplating (down the road) possibly tuning.
How do you mention a CAI and not state the make / model???? Hmmm.... ????

I can't leave anything alone so within the first 500 miles put new wheels and tires, then at about 1500 miles put the mufflex exhaust on. Then this summer added the rcx level and a 1.5" spacer for the rear and bds rear adjustable tracbar. Other than a few other visual mods and maybe a cai if one comes out I'll probably won't add any more performance mods.I am in a similar boat, I had a heavily modded diesel prior to the 6.4 and frankly for what I tow etc. the 6.4 has more than enough power, but I do like much of the "drive-ability" changes. The shift points and "big brother" features that feel like they are always acting against what I would like the transmission to do would be worth it.
That being said, I don't want to go the whole CAI/Exhaust route with this rig, I already have a loud ass Tundra with headers, side dump exhaust etc. and this one is my nice quiet rig that just works well.......towing with my old diesel with 5" exhaust etc. was brutal after 3 hours.......and I would have to yell to my wife.....lol
Seeing reviews like yours doesn't make it an easy decision and peaks my interest in it againI feel for you guys who have to pay for a PCM in addition to the tuner.
I felt purchasing the tuner and tune package was a cost effective mod. If I had to double the cost I would have to think about it a bit. But based on my previous experience with tuners and custom tunes on Hemi powered vehicles, I firmly believe I'd make the same decision.
Of course, that's a moot point in my case, and it don't help you 2015+ truck owners does it...
