2015 high country dually. I am debating between ridgerunner and motorops. Ridgerunner is about 450 for 2 tunes with license and motorops is 640. Is motorops worth the extra? I hear Good things about both tuners. I'm looking for delete tunes for heavy tow and a nice street maybe 100hp that is safe and good mileage.

Damn, I guess that’s what I get for answering the question.

I have a strange communication code that only happens on motorops and they refuse to fix it. Literally said they can't make it go away, yet it doesn't happen from other providers.

I have Motor ops on my LML and have zero complaints, but with that being said when I tuned and deleted mine there was very few options out there. If I was to get new tunes I would look else where.

On the sport/Econ tune I get 21-22 mpg on the highway.

Starlite, Ridge Runner, UDT, Danville. I've tuned a few deleted/converted trucks with MotorOps and they don't ever seem to be able to get it right. They either have a dead spot at WOT in the rpm range or have light throttle driveability issues. After mainly switching to Starlite I don't have that problem/complain anymore and customers are getting great economy.


IMO do not get SOTF tuning, its just a digital throttle stop. Get individual tunes. Sure you can't change on the fly (you have to pull over and cal-flash the tune in) but you get a much better tune for your application.

Sorta apples-to-oranges, but I'm running Ridgerunner's tunes in my LB7, and they are great. Makes good, smooth, clean power; drives great just like OEM without any dead or laggy spots; and I've gotten an honest hand-calculated, back-to-back-tank-verified 20-21 mpg several times on 20x9s and sticky 305/50R20 tires (which I know knocked a solid 1-1.5 mpg off from the stock 245s & pyos). All-around average has been around 17-18.

Tony was very nice and easy to deal with, too.

Can't say I've tried anyone else, but I have a hard time imagining they'd be any better than Tony.

This 100% mimics my Starlite tuned LB7, mileage and everything. Glad to see others are getting the same results and goes to show how close the "top names" really are.

Ok I'll research Starlite. I know certain guys do certain models better. Anyone have an LML tuned by starlite? Thinking between starlite and ridgerunner now.
