That exactly what I wanted to know. So my best bet is to give DP a call and have them custom burn a chip according to my mods, or are they simply a chip maker and would be better off calling an actual tuning shop and having them burn the chip..... What I'm getting at is who can I call give my mods over the phone, the tunes I want, and a credit card number and they will mail me a chip burned according to my mods....then ship it out, that is all. Do I also need to order a led selector switch as well for the chip. Sorry for these questions, just new to it.

You can call them directly, or you can go through one of their vendors (like Riffraff). Your choice. The tunes all come from DP.

Technically, DP is the only tuner that can put tunes on the Moates chip.

Another quick question.... I have read up on the threads regard IC installation on the osb 7.3. Besides lower EGT's when towing, is there much of a performance number gain from it. I was considering the Banks IC kit down the road. Like I have said in other posts this truck is mainly for towing and I'd like to do whatever I can to keep it happy as long as I can. 1400 bucks is pretty steep, but I'd be willing to do it if its going to keep me a bit safer towing around here in CO mountains.

Another question was a different intake X pipe needed? Is polishing up the stock one worth it or not?

I am still new to all this, but I just put a TS chip with PHP tunes from KT Performance. I really like it. Big power and shift difference. You may want to check it out.

Just finished putting mine in today.... Very happy with it. I was getting about 19mpg and hope to get a few more. Enjoy the smoke as well!

yup I posted up another thread a little later on addressing this. I'm using a 99.5+ spyder and 3" plenums. Fab up my own turn out and flange for the turbo and put a 6.0 IC in. I have the piping and cooler, just waiting on the spyder to show up.
Still looking for a boot kit.

Yeah I was not sure of that... I need to probably give him a call since the boots I need are not stock size at all for the OBS trucks... Sort of a mix and match from the 99.5+ boots and 6.0 cooler boots and the funky 2 to 3" reducer I will need
