Few DP tuner questions

I was looking at the DP tuner website and had a few questions for you guys. I was thinking about takeing my truck to them instead of taking my PCM out of the truck an sending it to them in hopes of getting it done in one day and not haveing to be with out my truck. I plan on being up in that area anyway in about two weeks. Do they allow people to bring the truck (or PCM) to them? If so, can the work be done in a day if I schedule an appointment? Also, what are they chargeing to prorgram (flash, tune, whatever they call it...) a PCM? I dont have much done to the truck (gauges, straight exhaust, air filter) and dont plan too, but I do want better fuel economy and a little more power if possible, is this a good option for that?

I know you had said in a reply in another thread of mine that he use to charge 75. Do ya have any idea what it is now? I hadnt planned to do anything else to this truck, but since I am going to be up that way and it seems like its going to be so cheap I may just be forced to get it done.

When accessing our website, in order to see the pricing you must click the options button next to the product you are veiwing to view the different tunes and pricing.

Jody can reflash your computer here. We do go by appointment. I can help you schedule that appointment. Let me know when you would like to stop by. Jody's schedule for the month of October is already filling up and he will be out of town over several weekends, so let me know soon when you are coming.

Thanks,

Diane

Hi Diane ! Just a note to you and anyone else using Firefox browser. The DP tuner web site will not work correctly for you, at least for me. When you click on the 'option' button, you will get the work order form and nothing else. Using IE will get you the prices.

I just used IE to open the price list and look at what they offer and I have a few more questions for the members here. If I tune it to tow will it have negative effects when im not towing and if tune it on the 80 econo will it have negative effects when im towing? A

I have pyro, trans, and boost already. I tow upto about 12k pounds on occasion, but tow alot more often with alot less weight. (ie, a car on a trailer, a tractor, building materials). If getting it tuned to tow would make normal driving less effeicent (fuel economy and vehicle longevity wise) then it wouldnt be worth it, but the same is true the other way around. I am really really concerned with fuel economy with both towing and not towing, but I would like more power too.
