I have one also. Here is my review I wrote up on the Brand X site
_____________________________________________________________
OK Boys
Drove 170 miles today for the hell of it. Just for you.
Started with the O/H at 20.1. I didn't reset it all day, it's on the reset I did the other day.
My first run was a bunch of foolin around, smokin, crap like that. Today was the first MPG run.
The total driven was 170.1 Miles. Fill to fill. 99% was highway, with a side trip to my cares in storage, about 6 miles.
I forgot to take a picture of the Trip Meter while I was filling. But I did catch the below.
Again, this was a trip to the Pocono Mountains. I drove to Hazleton and back. It is many times joked it all up hill both ways. It sure seems like it too. So allot of the trip was climbing long hills. A couple are 5 and 6 miles long. Stayed pretty much 1560 RPM, which is 67 MPH. Best I could do in the traffic.
Do the math. Over all I wasn't displeased at all. I never saw that MPG on that same route with the PMT.
I was on manual driving on this. That's why I was going so slow. Traffic. Notice no codes and it's telling me I have 4 flats. LOL
That says 25.0. Rough roads
20.53

And the initial Writeup I did 2 days ago

Well guys. . . . The XRT is here. And many of you have asked me to tell you what I think. Thanks for killin me with 42 PM's in the last 2 days. . . :hehe:
Alrighty. I went off a PMT and stepped up to the plate with the XRT.
Conditions
Hilly terrain, heavy traffic, Outside Temp 49.
Engine Conditions
68* Intake Temps, Crusing seeds, 65 to 70, 1520 RPM to 1650 RPM EGT's Unknown at this time. XRT set to 120 HP
I went on 2 short trips. One to the mall where I got stuck in the Nextel Store for 2 hours getting my phone fixed. My overhead read 12.9 when I left, drove about 10 miles. It still read 12.9. Poor driving conditions for a real good test. However, when I did have a clear shot, (Between traffic lights and no dead heads in front of me) I was able to break the wheels loose at gears, 1, 2 and 3. I would usually see the O/H drop off .3 points on that trip BTW.
2nd Run
Took it out on the Hochimin Trail, (RT 80) Was able to hold 65 for about 20 miles. The terrain is quite hilly. I reset the Overhead when I merged in. By this time it was reading 13.1 untouched. After clearing the traffic from an accident, :thud: I got up to cruising speed. The O/H went up to 30.4 on the flats and dropped down on the hills, no lower than 21. This is real unusual from the previous box. The O/H ping ponged between 30 and 21 for the next 20 miles. I am impressed so far. The over head settled at 29.? when I exited.
Return trip were the same results
EXCEPT!
MP8
On the return, I cranked up the MP8 to full. Since it was dark, it was real hard to see the smoke. I had to get into the headlights of a Tractor trailer to see what was spitting out. The truck driver just said on the CB "Caugh Caugh" :hehe:. . . I told him what was going on. What I could see was a steady stream of smoke from 70 to 95 where I started to run out of fuel from the stock lift pump.
Performance at higher speeds with the MP8 seemed to be a bit better. But I never noticed a significant difference anyway.
There's a couple of things I left out. I am editing
Power
The XRT delivers plenty of smooth power. Acceleration is real smooth, Idle is smooth in neutral or drive. I noticed the engine is much quieter than it was with the PMT.
Code Free
The code free works great. No waiting for anything to boot up. Just turn the key and start.
If you are converting form another DPF delete kit you may get a code light on the first start after the conversion and loading the XRT. This is Normal, so don't panic. It will go out on the third or fourth start of the truck.
GEN2
YOU MUST REMOVE A LATER VERSION OF THE GEN2. THIS IS THE ONE THAT GOES TO THE FUSE BOX. THE XRT WILL NOT INSTALL. simply plug the delta P (Box on the transmission) and put the plugs provided with the XRT kit on the same plugs the Gen 2 uses. The EGT senosr wires will not be used
Do's and Don'ts
Don't even try to load it with the Gen2 (Second Generation)
Let the XRT do it's thing. Be patient. Read the screen carefully as it goes. Takes about 30 minutes.
So the bottom line, so far, is :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
