Need to give some more info about your truck then that. Might actually have an issue with the truck that is hindering you from being able to use that tune to it's potential. Is there anything that you can tell that you observe when driving the truck?

If it's acting fine and your building boost decently(you are aren't you?), than my next guess would be maintance stuff. Oil change, filters(both oil and fuel) and your air filter, what about those? How many miles between those being change? Change in fueling habits, get bad fuel somewhere or go to a strange place during your mileage drop? If you have access to a professional scanner see if your pulling a cylinder contribution/balance issue, that would ruin mileage and horsepower for sure. Just wish I had more to work with.

i just had my oil an oil filter changed i usually do it around every 5,000 miles i have not checked my air filter im gonna take a look at that an fuel i always buy from the same place but my truck has been runnin this way since i got my sct i used to have bully dog an my truck would haul *** an get decent milage it just kept tearin up the trans so i wint with sct an i have tried custom tunes from 2 seperate companies an they both seem to be the same i dont know im ready to trade this thing in

Do you have the EGR disabled with the tuning and do you have the new flash from ford? You could be experiance EPA limp mode if yes to both.

[kingranch89]

i do not have the EGR delete on the truck itself but on the tune i dont know the tune i have now is just the HOT STREET by Cal an my truck was updated by ford so what are u saying could be wrong an is there anything i can do about it
