Just purchased a 2011 Expy XLT premium for the wife, and have a question.

As I understand, the vehicle is learning our driving habbits in programming of the throttle.

Does anyone have recommendations on how we should drive during this programming period?

Also interesting to me is my 2006 F150 s. crew also has a 5.4L, and it has much smoother throttle response. Can one just take it into the dealer, and tell them to make the throttle respond like the F150?

I was thinking of using a programmer to improve the throttle response on my '11. Does anyone know if this would help? I was thinking about trying the superchips beacause my friend used it on his '08 Jeep and raves about it. Anyone tried this.....anyone want to be the ginnea pig?:drool:

Canned tunes are generic. Every truck is different so a custom tune will pinpoint your wants and needs. You want more acceleration but better mpgs etc.... a canned tune is not going to do that.
