Wanting some input on Gearhead tunes

HuckA1A · Jul 24, 2012

I'm wanting to try some new tunes for my truck and I want to hear everyone's experiences with Matt's tunes. I would especially like to hear about drivabilty, shifting, and towing.
Thanks

Wow, 1 year for your first post.

Can't go wrong with Matt's tunes. Great smoke control, shifting, and still puts down the power.

That's pretty lame, ain't it.lol

How is he to work with as far as fixing issues and customer service?

Dmstrucks02 · Jul 24, 2012

He was great to work with, no issues to work out tho so I can't help you there

Matt is a super nice guy.

I've been running his tunes for 4 or so years without an issue. Never ran any of the other tuners tunes, and I don't really care to try...

Free re burns makes it very nice when constantly upgrading your truck.

I usually just drive to his house to get mine re burnt though...

I lub mine. He is easy to get in touch in with, explains everything you ask.

The tunes drive just like a stock truck up until 3/4 throttle, then the turbo spins, witchcraft happens and you vroooom away!

You will like his tunes over your current ones...

I have a 6.4 So all I can say is his customer service is great.

Rupp250 · Jul 24, 2012

Very happy with my setup, customer service was good as well. I pull a toyhauler and the shifting seems to work well. Can't go wrong with Matt.

My truck flat out rips for having the size injectors i do, he does very well with his tunes.

Viking · Jul 24, 2012

My truck drives very well under all the different tunes I have.

HuckA1A · Jul 24, 2012

Thanks guys. That's what I was looking for.

Matt is about as good as they get when it comes to customer service & making sure your satisfied. All his tunes sound like stock, if your at half throttle your at half throttle. If you want WOT you'll have to make sure you don't have a thick floor mat under the pedal or you won't get 100% throttle. He tunes for driveabily in all tunes, in other words you can leave it in a hot tune most the time & never know it till you drop the hammer. Smoke is minimal as well.

Cat nailed it.

My only gripe is he doesnt email tunes. Gets expensive if you make tweaks often. (Im anal)

Thats good to know, so in other words there is no need for a stock tune for driving in inclimate weather. Right?

About how long is his turn around? I know that he must be busy.

Arisley · Jul 25, 2012

Best way to find that out is to call and ask him. Any answer you get from any body else is a pure guess.

There's a name I haven't seen in a coon's age...
glad to see you made it over here Huck!

bad12jr · Jul 25, 2012

I've never felt the need for a stock tune with Matt's stuff. I'll drive on wet days & even in the winter on snow in a mild/hot tune without being scared of the truck. He leaves the throttle pedal alone to do what the factory intended it to do, be variable, not "on or off".

About how long is his turn around? I know that he must be busy.

Usually Matt is rather quick, not saying that things don't come up time to time but he likes to get things in & out in a timely fashion.
