Like the title says, just bought the tune, and it just arrived today. I haven't had a chance to do too much with it but so far I'm pretty impressed...I pulled the stock tune onto the module, and the instructions said to send it via email back to gde. I figured since it was saturday, I would get the tune back sometime monday. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when about 30 minutes later or so, I checked my email and the new tune was there. Christmas time!!!!
I immediately downloaded it to the flash tool, which I went ahead and purchased, rather than renting....and loaded it to the Jeep. I also plugged the MAF sensor back in and cleared the codes. Once the tune was in I went for a quick spin around the bock. I will admit I forgot to listen for the initial engine rev on startup, but I'll pay attention the next time. Seat of the pants definitely showed a much quicker throttle response, and not nearly as much smoke from the tail pipe as before. Will have to get back to you all on mileage as I get some miles on it.

You got the best thing money can buy for crd, smart decision! Enjoy a clean oil like the gasoline engines have! Keith does an excellent job in supporting his customers. I'd recommend the tune for every crd, well worth the money!

If you want even better mileage, replace the viscous fan with an electric one, I made a thread in the tech forum if you want to find out more. I save about 2 mpg city/highway combined.

Lol, I know all too well how that goes - I've been dealing with that issue for years, working on my diesel trucks, hahaha!

I love my GDE ECO tune and GDE TCM, I also bought the flashing tool. I figured it's already paid for itself over the 37K in fuel alone.
I have got over 30 (not by much) during my 22 mile commute doing 70. (Summer only, a lot of 29MPG tanks) Winter up here kills my average.
