Chips/tuning
I know this has been beaten and drug in the mud, but want advice on chips/tuners. I keep reading posts about how long it is taking to get PHP chip, so think I am going to go the F5 route, not worried about changing or adding tunes. I currently have Superchips, which is fine, but not impressed with towing tune. Those with experience in both Superchips and DP, is DP going to be much different? I don't need to be the first person to hunting camp, but don't want to feel like I am pushing my pickup to its limits either. I tow a 28 ft TT that weighs 7800 dry and pickup feels underpowered with Superchips. Thoughts/suggestions. I have 2002 F350 with intake/exhaust and gauges.

I am convinced that the F5 is the way to go. What is everyone's experience with tow tunes and weight. My trailer will be around 9500-10000 loaded with all the gear. Is the 60 tow all I need for that load. I know that is the range DP recommends. I will never go heavier, is there a need for the 80 tow? Just how difficult is it to get coating off PCM board? Honestly the installation of the chip itself is what has been the hesitation for me. Thanks again.

I have the 40T and 60T and DD is my 80E! I have a 34ft fiver and that I know is over 13k. I have been using the 40T to go over the Mtns on my way to Fl. It is pretty steep and my EGT's are right on the money. Once on the flatlands I have been working on using the 80E because it pulls like a freight train. The good thing about gauges is I can keep a eyeball on my EGT's and if I get a hard grade pop it into 60T and keep on truckin! With the 80E shift profile trans does not drop out of OD as fast as the tow. Also my trans temps are really great ! stays well under 200 deg. BigRed is a towin machine!! 7.3's Rock
