who makes the best tuner/chip and gauges for a '99 PSD
i'm not intending to start a pi$$ing contest here, but here's the deal. i'm stepping up from my F-150 SuperCrew and getting my first PSD this coming friday. it's a late '99 (manufactured 7/99) 7.3 auto with 3.73s that's bone stock and has 117k miles on the clock. i'm looking for a tuner that will do the following:
economy tuning (65hp or so) high idle EBPV exhaust brake and high fuel for smoke i've found a few individual HP chips, and exhaust brake chips, but i'm wanting to be able to do all the above. a flip chip or something similar would be perfect, since i'll occasionally want to run it stock. the truck is gonna be my daily driver, and i'm not looking for a street rod, just something fun and dependable, so i won't need a 100+ hp "extreme" power setting or anything like that. i plan on leaving the transmissoin stock as long as it lasts. i'm wondering who you guys have found to have the most dependable, user/truck-friendly programmers that won't set me back a paycheck. also, i'm looking for a good set of triple cluster A-pillar gauges that are (hopefully) fairly easy to DIY install. any positive input would be great, and thanks in advance. oh, and goodbye sparks plugs, let the black smoke roll... :-D |

Search is your friend... this has been discussed a million times over. AFAIK DP Tuner is the only one offering an EBPV/decel tune. Other good tuners- Swamps, PHP, Tony Wildman, BTS. Gauges- Isspro's from Clay at Riffraff Diesel |

Was going to put Matt in there too, but I could not remember his company name!:D |
I checked on Tony's and Matt's websites before I posted, and it's not listed on there, but I think the OP would be thrilled with either one. They're both great tuners and wonderful people! http://dygytalworld.ehost-services13...es/2thumbs.gif <---one thumb for each!

When my f5 switch went out on the DP, they sent me a new one free, no questions asked. 50000 + miles ago. no problems since.

X3, I know there are others who do great work with their tunes but I can only speak from my personal experience. I absolutely love my DP tunes, it's like a whole new truck, and their customer service is great. I recently had a small issue with my switcher, purely cosmetic and all my own doing, I e-mailed Diane and she took care of me right away, no questions asked and no charge, not even shipping. As for gauges, I love my ISSPRO's and you won't find a better deal or a better guy to deal with than Clay at RiffRaff. |
