DP F5 with no start, high idle, drive thru, stock, 60E, 20 tow, 40 tow, 60 tow, 80 tow, 100 performance. I usually run in stock unless towing. The towing tunes are great for my needs.

You must tow really heavy to need that low of tow settings. I just ordered a f5 and got high idle,stock,60 tow,80 econo,120 race. I haul a tractor that gross with truck weighs about 25,000. I hope the 60 tow is not to much for it but stock it's gut less and can barley get to 65-70

I have 7 tunes but find I most often use, in order, 80econ, decel, 80 tow, high idle. The decel is very handy loaded or empty in the mountains.

I have the no-start, stock, high idle (1100 RPM), 60tow (high altitude) and 80 econ. I use the 80 econ most of the time unless I'm towing.

I have 12 and use just a few, but love knowing the rest are there. My main ones are the 60 and 80 econ tunes. Both are great, but the for me the 60 is a little cleaner running, but will still make smoke when I get on it. The high idle will be put to use more as is cools down. I use my tow tunes when towing because of the shifting. the higher tunes are being used less as the fuel prices increase, but still see their fair share.

Yes, or he did for me. it's called the 140smoke. I have the 140x and the 140smoke and both are strong, but the smoke tune will roll smoke at low rmps and speeds, it will heat things up in a hurry when you stay on it.

My advice is to call Jody and tell him what you want, he will help you decide what to get, then let your wallet set your limits.

Yes, some heavy towing here. Forgot to list my decel tune. But I tend to be more on the conservative side. My truck is tagged for 24k so I have to stay under that. When hauling a couple of tractors, I stay in 40T. I can't say that it didn't have enough power stock but now it is so much better, especially the transmission. No shifting on virtually any hill in overdrive.

All the prices are listed on the DP-Tuner website(link in Signature). Not sure if the extreme smoke is listed, but I'm sure it's the same price. I've had mine for a while and really don't know what I paid for them.
I also have the decel tune and it's well worth if if you tow much at all.

Do tow our tractor from time to time. But most of the time I'm hotroddin around or back and fourth on the highway looking for high mpg.

I'm thinking bout high idle 1500, 80hp tow, 80hp econo, 120hp performance, and then my extreme smoke if possible.

Those sounds like good choices, but I think if you only get one tow tune and depending on the weight of the load you tow, the 60tow might be of more use. If you want to best of the best, most bang for your money, ect., arrange to meet Jody at some event he may be at near you and get lived tuned. One price, any tunes, customized to you and your truck. Next best thing would be the F6 where you can download and try each tune before you buy it. If I didn't already have a loaded F5 and didn't want to wait on live tune, the F6 would be the way to go.

Bottom line is still, you need to talk with Jody and let him help you decide what to do.
