ordering tuner today

i am finally pulling the trigger on my dp tuner purchase.. i only have one thing i am still undecided on.. that is the low idle or quiet idle tune. i am hoping someone here is running this and could let me know if it is something worth having.. by the way i have a 97 f350 crew cab 5 spd.. 3 inch dp 5 inch back..4 inch lift on 37s.. mainly stock outside that..oh pyro and boost gauges.. thanks for any and all input

Which configuration are you going with? Don't have any personal experience with the low or quiet idle.

i am going with the f-5 chip and the gauge style switcher. settings.. stock, no start, 60 eco, 80 tow, 100hp, and 140 aggressive.. which i know is useless now with a stock system, but james at dp told me that is my best bet for a ''smoke'' type setting.. and i'll be honest, it will be mainly for having fun and seeing if i can get some smoke.. but i am hopefull to be getting injectors in the future. so i figured i'll just get the setting! and hopefully have some fun

. i might just have to try out the low idle tune if nobody comes back with any knowledge/experience with it themselves. so i can let everyone know if it really does work/worth the purchase..

The "Quiet tune" Or what they call "Drive thru" tune is good for drive throughs, camp grounds, and having a conversation with someone while the trucks running. Heres a video.

thanks for that. that video really did a good job at showing the difference.. looks like i might have been a newer truck though.. i wonder if it has the same effect on on ours.
