Sent it back for the update 2 days ago, certainly is nice to have, and miserable to be without.....

Hopefully they return it soon.

I sent mine in when I was about to park it for the winter, turn around was quick. looking forward to plugging it back in when I start driving it daily in late march.

SoChrisB · 12-19-2014, 08:47 PM

Is it really worth it?

CCMADONNA · 12-19-2014, 09:05 PM

yes. it is.

SoChrisB · 12-19-2014, 09:17 PM

I might have to purchase one, then.

CamaroJim56 · 12-20-2014, 08:18 AM

If the bucking, gurgle feeling and hesitation bother you, then yes.

Once you have had it, it is hard going back. So nice to have consistent power and feel in your acceleration.

I'm using a Range on my '14 Silverado 5.3L. So far working great. Hate that stupid 4 cyl mode. Getting the same 21 mpgs on all hwy driving as without the Range.

I for one, DO lose a little mpg's, probably 2 or so on highway driving, but it is worth it. If it bothers me to lose mpg's on a long trip, I can just remove it.

I also lose about 2 mpg over all. I live in Northern Cali where my commute to work is mountainous. I don't mind. Nice to have that instanteous power.

Lndryguru · 12-20-2014, 09:14 PM

Well worth it i lost about 2 mpg on the road 25 to 23 but car runs way different much more responsive and sport mode helps too

CCMADONNA · 12-21-2014, 10:56 AM

Sport mode + Range AFM delete = awesome response.

Sport mode + Range AFM delete + Vitesse Motorsports throttle controller = idk

someone whose got all three has to tell us. is your car even more awesome?

What update?

CamaroJim56 · 12-24-2014, 07:47 AM

Go on their website, you pay postage both ways and they update the firmware for free. Supposed to eliminate the problem of all the lights on your dash going off.
