Must be nice. I worry a bit about hammering it too hard if just because they are so damn expensive. An engine build is like 10-18K isn't it? Think I need to hot rod my Ls truck more and leave that one for work and a little stop light fun on occasion!

The lmls are not "supposed" to be able to tune with efi live yet. But nick priegnitz (duramaxtuner.com) has a test lml truck he is playing around with. He can tune them but wont do any deletes for lawsuite reasons like what happened to edge and H&S. Not sure if he is marketing the tunes yet or is still in beta testing...

EFILive for the LML's is just a pass through device, there is no "tuning with efilive" since EFI doesn't support tuning, only a pass through flash.

Beto, my 2011 CCSB 4x4 is averaging about 17 mpg doing mostly highway driving in the winter. I was up to 18.5 or so last summer. That's driving between 7000 and 11,000 ft elevation for what it's worth.

I got a combined 13.5 when I went to Houston to pick up my donor truck from the insurance auction....about 15.5 towing an empty flatbed trailer at 75mph, and 11.5 returning with the truck on the trailer doing about 70.
