DP-Tuner
116 River Bend Drive
Hoschton, GA 30548

I tried calling but they don't have office hours Friday through Sunday and I'd like to try and send my chip out this weekend. I figured someone with a DP chip would know if this is the right place or not. I put in my ticket on their website like 3 weeks ago but got completely swamped with odd jobs/work/helping friends.



I'm still waiting for our nice monsoons out here in AZ as well! We've only gotten ONE rain down here in the Eastern side of the Phoenix valley. The whole week putting elastomeric on our roof in the hot sun has been in vain so far!

yes, that is the proper address.

Are you traveling or something? Where are you that it only drops to 94 at night? Time to get away from the concrete.

It was that hot in 'my new truck' thread today and Steward closed it. Too bad, I think most enjoyed the thread until Brad ruined it.

Why did he close it just from one statement form Brad? Makes no sense. That's a good thread too!

I think he (Steward) over reacted because Tom was gone. I think Tom should open it again because we were all admiring how he was fixing up the truck. I mean the guy could have given up but he kept at it. Its always one AH to ruin it for everybody!

Agreed on all points. I didn't even think it got bad. Brad just made one comment like he always does.

Nah, not really. It didn't even get heated. That's why I wondered why it got locked so quick.

it got locked so quick because Scott and I were not around, and Stewart did not want to see it escalate.
i am going to leave it closed since he started a new thread, "my new truck V-2"
