:::UPDATE:::
Got my truck back yesterday from the dealer after the seal on the rear radiator broke and caused a leak. tech said it was a pain in the ass as the whole front end of the truck had to come off.
After signing all the paperwork, I returned to my shop and installed the torq2 + torq2 tune, 2wd lip, recon clearance lights, LED turn signal lights, 3rd brake light and the Innovative Diesel lexan S&B Filter cover. It was definitely an action packed afternoon, that's for damn sure.
Before I really crack into a full write up of the torq2 + torq2 tune (will be abbreviated t2), it's been pissing here for the last 48hrs so I haven't really had a chance to crack on it and give it a true shakedown. My initial impressions are as follows… The truck has been through three different tunes: street, xtreme street and t2. Out of all the of them, the t2 tune is by far the fastest and snappiest tune. The throttle response is simply unmatched and the power is ridiculous. Just driving around yesterday, the tires wanted to break loose at any chance they had. It's just that powerful and still emissions legal! There was one chance for me to really mash on it while entering the highway and before I knew it, I was pegged at 100. The truck is very street-able as well as perfect for those moments when you have a point to prove. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to pick up the torq2 and the tuner. It'll change you life, give you better gas mileage as well as fewer regens. Even with the various tunes I've had, my regens are about 1/4 of what they used to be and the truck is so much smoother. There is one thing I would like to draw to those who have the tune and those who are looking to purchase… Until the truck reaches 190ºF, you will have torque truncation in effect. Truncation limits the amount of torque that the motor can generate and thus, it will cut your power if the truck is not up to operating temperature. Nothing to be alarmed about, just something to keep in mind when you're out there beating around.
Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the torq2 + tuner. Even if you just buy the tuner and throw it on xtreme street, you won't be disappointed. Eric and the team at IDP have shown consistent dedication to providing the best customer service in the industry. Eric is now hard at work with custom tuning and expanding the device line up for the 6.7 tunes. Hopefully we'll see the iTSX here soon! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
