I've never done all that. I do the tranny re-learn and drive it like a granny for about 10-15 miles. I make sure the gears cycle a few times and then I'm back on it.

I'm scared to go over level 2 because I don't have the jack for a tranny right now.

I would say you should be safe on level 3, But I do not have first hand knowledge about that. You would certainly be good on level 2!!

You may still get 350,000 miles out of your engine, and if you are concerned about engine life leave it on stock settings!

I have the increased timing option on in my truck!
Dude the fuel doesnt explode it burns, come on and increasing your timing is just like advancing timing on a gas engine its just getting the fuel burning faster.

Exactly -- Which causes more cylinder pressure.

Actually, like Duratitus said, the fuel does explode. It's called spontanious combustion.
