Today I installed my DP tuner and followed the directions from the site step by step. After the install the truck would not start, nor did the switcher display anything. The directions said if it does not start to remove it and re-clean the terminals. So that's what I did but now I am worried too much copper is showing on the one side and I don't want to take anymore off the other side. I put it back together and tried again with no luck. So I took it back apart and left it out and the truck starts up fine so I didn't fry my PCM. Has anyone had this issue? If too much copper is showing is there anything I can do to help it make better contact? I tried to call them but I don't think anyone will be in untill Monday.

 

Try emailing. I usually get resopnse within an hour. Subscribing as I am getting ready for my F6 install next weekend... Good Luck Charlie.

 

Ok I sent one their way we'll see what happens.

 

I think they have an FAQ on that on their site. You have to hold both buttons together till the light flashes or something like that...
Don't try that as I'm not exaclty sure, but there is a procedure you probably have to do something like that.

 

There is a procedure to get the pod to light up but have jodi email as its a safety no start .. Posting directions on forum defetes the purpose of it.. Or maybe the connector became lose behind the pod? Happened to me at first, plugged back in and started right up...

 

Yea, mine came with the info to "unlock" the unit on a card... Agree its probally not info one would want just out on the web...

 

Did you remove pcm possibly with the keys in the ignition?

 

I believe he states the truck starts with chip out. So pcm shouldnt be toast...

 

Well stupid me had the wire upside down going into the switch. I have high idle, stock, 80hp econo, 120 race and 40hp tow. Will the idle change at all between the 80hp econo, 120 race and 40 hp tow tunes? It obviously changes between high idle, stock and 80 hp econo but not after, is that normal?

 

with stock injectors your not going to see anything differance after 80hp cause the stock injectoors are pushed to the limits

 

You get differences with stock injectors, the fuel mapping is changed, but your not going to get 140 hp.

Glad you got it figured out though.

Idles should be the same or close to the same on all the tunes unless you request a specific idle for your tunes, or its a high or low idle tune.

 

Someone explain why its 80hp economy and only 40hp tow. Shouldn't that be the other way around?

 

so you don't blow ***** up and EGT's don't go sky high

 

my heavy tow is 25hp

 

I've tried for six years now to blow mine up, I keep thinking that there should be chunks of block and pistons laying all over the mountain passes.
