I've had mine on for coming up 50,000km, first installed with around 155,000km on the clock. Certainly made it feel more lively at the lower end of the rev range and improved fuel economy by about 0.5l/100 around town. It also made it a bit noiser with a more pronounced diesel clatter however.

I wouldn't say it's made much difference to towing. I still need to be going around 90kph to get in to top gear and anything but the gentlest of inclines will see it drop back to fourth. I've had occasions where because of a headwind it's been less stressful for both driver and car to just give in and sit on 80kph in fourth.

I have done 40,000 on my green tune from Stuart in my 07 V6 CRD GC since I got the tune last year love it
Yes the engine got a bit louder after the tune but I run TC-W3 2 stroke in it at a ratio of 300 to 1 I.E. 3.2 ML per litre first thing I noticed was the engine got very quiet most people don't believe its a diesel
I have a couple of bottles premixed in the back for travelling I see very good mileage I don't tow with the GC yet but on a recent trip to Melbourne I used 440$ fuel to do 3,880 k,s doing 115 in the 110 zones and 105 in the 100 zones
I had the GC loaded to the roofline and used cruise control 90 % of the time I see regular 8.4,s on the dash gauge if the vehicle is empty just me running up the highway from Brisbane to the coast and back
I also have a 3 inch cat back system the original muffler was the size of my ten year old nephew I bought the GC with 180,000 on the clock got 235,000 now I also have a provent and KN air filter fitted the thing blows no smoke at all starts first kick runs smooth as
I also have Jeepin byhttp://jeepinbyal.com/cat-Jeep_Grand...010%29-60.aspx
upper control arms and bilstiens and king springs all round and some firestone air bags on the back for when I do start towing 20 inch wheels running 255/50/20 tyres which made my speedo dead accurate
I am really impressed with this vehicle its going to be my first million k car that's how happy I am with it only thing I don't like about the tune is when you take of from a standing start with very little throttle pressure the shift from first to second is a bit agricultural I will ask STU if there is an update for that the thing has got so much torque that if I turn of the traction control it will turn all 4 wheels up my drive way if I floor it needles to say I don't do that tyres are very expensive I also like how the thing does not shift up and down from 4th to 5th and back again like the old tune drove me mad its definitely got more liveability with the tune
All my mates that bagged me for buying a Jeep have changed there mind now I think I might have converted a few as well only thing with it is the electrical gremlins the computers in it must have been designed by Microsoft but the flash tuner that comes with the green tune allows me to check codes and reset them
