Well here are my first impressions. Received the Trinity yesterday. Today I connected first to my office PC, registered the device, then got on the phone with Mike from DiabloSport to go over some questions on the update process. Mike was very helpful. I selected the vehicle type 2011 F-150 6.2L and then completed the update. Got home this evening, connected the Trinity tuner to my truck and followed the tune process. During the "read/backup" process at about 40%, the productivity panel in my dashboard started to show several faults such as: low engine oil, hill descent fault, advancetrack fault. Then the needles on all gauges started to quickly flicker/vibrate. On the trinity screen however the backup process proceeded OK. Once the backup completed, then proceeded to install tune. I noticed that on this version there was only 87 octane and the performance tune. I selected the performance tune which stated to use minimum 89/91 octane or 93 octane. Continued with the install, the gauge needles flickered again, and the faults poped up again. At the end of the write process, switched the ignition key on/off as requested by the trinity tuner. The faults disappeared from my dashboard, then disconnected the unit, and started the truck. Wow!!! The engine roared amazingly... First thing I noticed that my miles to empty read out jumped from 330 to 400. My gas tank had about 21 gallons left (full is 26),. I then proceeded to my nearest gas station to fill up. The miles to empty then jumped to 453 (never seen it this high), then drove on Manhattan's West Side Hwy. The acceleration and response from the gas pedal is awesome! Transmission shifting is sportier and firmer. There is no acceleration response lag.. The ride is great!! Tomorrow I will be heading to a 150 mile ride thru Long Island and I bet it will be great. Thanks so much. Great product. So far on hwy driving I can see a gain of almost 3mpg. Aside from this tuner, my raptor has the Roush CAI and Roush cat back exhaust with 23,500 miles. I know that most folks in this board have the 5 star tune, however I am new to the tuning world and I see a very remarkable difference in performance with this canned tune. The trinity tuner also allows for modifications to the canned tune as well as for additional custom tunes. So far so good. I will keep you posted as I burn more fun mies on this beast.
