DP TUNER= Awesome
Well after 4 years of owning a 7.3 I finally installed a dp tuner and WOW. I have stock , 60 tow and 80 econ. it is great i only have one question so far if others are experience this. When driving at slow speed and very littl e throttle the motor sounds like it is knocking like a gas motor. i switch it to stock and the noise goes away, any idea what the noise could be? ps the transmission feels so much better.

How did you hold back from ordering for 4 years!
My truck gets noticeably louder on 80E over stock too.

I had to go pick someone up so I tried out the different tunes. I think my tuner is fine.. When I was thinking about it earlier I was recalling the noise at idle, they are the same. But I tried it while driving; big difference. Disaster averted

The tuning is basically timing, with the Econ and please someone correct me if I'm wrong the timing is slightly advanced to take advantage of the maximum safe chamber pressure to inject the fuel, if you have more pressure at injection you need less fuel to make the same ,or more, power ^so what you hearvis the injector working harder to make more pressure at time of injection as well as noted the "explosion" of the fuelcauseing the knock witch is not a problem in diesel engines it's what makes the compression ignition work, I hope this makes sense
