Normal...

Not normal...

Oil pressure, cold motor, tooling around the parking lot. - YouTube


Know what the major change was there...

I'll let you assume.

Wow! Those rattle vids sounded terrible! I can hear what sounds like advanced timing on a gasser in there. I agree... if any tuner makes your truck sound like that, notify the programmer and have him/her change it fast.

I heard your uber-whistle and I'm jealous. Oh well... T38R is about as jacked up as I would ever go. I'll get some vids today of my truck running - it sounds more like what you labeled as "Normal" in the vids above.

This thread has switched my mode of thinking OFF the dp bandwagon. I dont like the idea of proprietary file formats that only dp can tune for.

With that in mind... what other tuners/chips are available that i can talk to with my laptop ?

Being that matt is closest to me ill probably go with gearhead tuning...
But now i dunno what kinda chip or tuner or programmer ... feeling lost

You can get a TS style chip burner for around $250 new, and many tuners will email you the tunes, then just burn them on the chip.

DP uses Moates chips. If you look on Moates site you can buy the burner, software, chips, etc.

Quote from Moates.net:
"This product combination is recommended for enthusiasts who do their own tuning as well as shops which offer custom calibrations. Available through www.dp-tuner.com, our partner reseller."

You can create your own tunes for a moates chip with their software but reading their site they do not have any base tunes to start from for the 7.3.

Anybody know if a ATS chip can be reflashed with new tunes?

EDIT: Found my answer, they are using TS chips... Yay

Most of my blanks are ATS blanks... I think I have only one TS blank left.

Joe,
Does this look like your blanks? This could be an early version with a flip switch (70 & 100HP). I would wanna upgrade to a 6 position switch.

My DP tuner (sold) was from summer 2009. When I spoke with them a few months ago they suggested I send it in to get the tunes updated.
