#5 DP Tuner or PHP ? I was kinda leaning to the DP
I hear great things about both. what do you guys use ? Im hearing the DP make a little more low end motor rattle/knock sound ? Is this True and why ?. is it from doing major mods that i will never do ?
I know about the Torque converter knocking.

I finally got a chance to drive my truck today after installing the 4" turbo back exhaust this weekend.
I Took the day off because of the rain and had to run to UPS to send stuff. Knowing my truck. I could tell after installing the 6637.
The truck had just a bit more low/mid power. Not much that someone else would notice.
But i must say this exhaust works.. I can tell a difference and my girlfriend noticed also. There is a lot more of a low/mid and top end range.
My truck All stock felt as if it flattened out around 2900 rpm's at WOT under load.
My truck now seems to run better and a little smoother. It now pulls good from low/mid and now flattens off at about 3300 rpm's
Makes me wonder if the stock muffler was getting plugged up or if this is a normal thing installing a 4" exhaust.
I did notice that the EGT's are down about 200+
Ordered My DP Tuner this morning.
Im Just going with the 60/80 tow for my hauler, Decell and 60/80 eco.
Everything else is stock and i have no plans to do more to my truck in the future..
YA RIGHT !!!!

My 4" exhaust will be the last of my mods, but it slid to the back burner until I get some other stuff squared away: Replace my stereo (again), get the engine analyzer, and replace the windshield that popped last week in a blizzard.
Believe me when I tell you, the economy tunes won't leave you feeling "Cool... I can notice a difference". What you will feel is "OMG! This truck can do that!?! Everybody should try this!!".
Right, everybody?
