H&S Settings

[trkworm2]

Hey guys,

I should be getting my H&S Mini Maxx, and delete pipe next week, but wanted to reach out and find some successful set ups on the H&S. I am a novice at this, so I don't want to do anything to my truck that I'll regret.

I am mainly looking for improved economy and reliability, so I am not racing. I wanted to know the best way to program the transmission, shift patterns, anything really to do with the transmission.

I have an 08 F350 DRW 4x4 with 4.10 rear gears. I town a 30' 5er about once a month, otherwise this is my daily driver believe it or not! I love driving this truck. I don't want to aggressive shift pattern, but again one that will net me the best economy, and will still be ok when towing. I do have the "tow mode" on the tree, so around town I can use that towing. My camper really only weights about 9,000 -10,000 lbs loaded depending on how many kids we have.

Thanks guys, always open to suggestions.

I have been running the hd300 for awhile now (20,000kms I think ) and it has worked great for me. I run on the hot setting most times for daily driving. For towing I turn it down to no power or mild setting. I have tried all the tranny tunes and have settled on the s1m. I would probably just load up the mild tunes and start there. From what I have read the s2m most resembles the stock shifting. Also if you use the tow/haul it is recommended to use the no power adjustable setting because the tow/haul shifting isn't designed to handle a lot of extra horsepower. Most people see the best mileage on the highest power setting but with the shift on the fly it's easy to try any of the 4 settings on a particular tune to find out what will work best for you.

I'va had mine for a month now. I'm also running the hd300 setting with the default trans setting. I ran the frist two weeks with it set on hot. I live on a gravel road with snow, honestly it was hard to keep from spinning the wheels every time i took off. Dialed it down to mild and it fits my driving style better. Smooth shifts and less spin. Mix of city and hwy driving i am seeing 16. I do notice that longer hi idle times clobber my mpg. Thats how it goes in the winter.

You think you love driving the truck now? You will be doing back flips after the install

Thanks guys, all good stuff. Now I have had a Bully Dog on for a year or so, is this going to be that much different when I do the delete and run the HD300 Tune?

I guess I can put my foot in it every once in a while. lol

Thanks

Definitely will be a different truck once you delete.
