You should have no issues at all with this. I know you will feel some improvement, and it is a cheap improvement. But it does get you started in wanting more.

WHen you get ready to really play, ask alot of questions.. All of us have our favorite tuners ( DP ) and no one seems to better be ( DP ) then the others that I am aware of. So I wont even go into what to look for (DP) until you know what you want. So.. with that being said (DP) have fun.

If you have all ready ordered your DP Tuner than the 1.5K is a waste of time.

Its for a buddy's truck he doesn't have a lot of money and said he wanted to do it. I was just checking it out for him. Now when you order the DP Tuner what's up with the $30 custom tune.

Ok that's what I thought just wasn't sure. How aggressive is the lope idle, I don't want a smoke lope but similar to the 1.5k mod

I really don't know, don't have that tune. Maybe give Jody a call, or some one that has it or had it will chime in.

The 1.5k mod is a resistor that you can buy from radio shack for around $1. It splices in the ICP sensor and causes a cam like effect. Its done by raising the oil pressure in the hpop/injectors. The safest one is 1.0k resistor.

Max picture size is 800X600, You will need to resize your pictures before you load your pictures to your album.

Are you referring to something like this? img002 pictures from trucks photos on webshots This is something I posted on Webshots when I did mine years ago. Uses a 10k ohm resistor, not 1.0k. You can use a 5.9k, but will cause higher EGTs and rougher idle. I have see it marketed with an 18k ohm and an adjustable version.

Weird. Personally I would be scared to do this mod to my truck. Just seems kinda scetchy.
