If you go with Beans, he offers this ----> BDP 6 Position switch plate
Nothing fancy, but I like it.
This afternoon I took a ride down to White's Diesel performance In Nokomis FL, To ask about Beans tunes. Jonathan From Beans was there playing with a Cummins on the dyno. He was to busy for me to pick his brain, but I talked with Jake White about the tuning, and I may just be getting me some Beans tunes real soon.
I'm VERY happy with my BTS tunes, but I sent them my chip to get single shot tunes burned 6-7 weeks ago, and I still haven't got it back... I need my truck up and running asap. I can't wait two months for a re-burn.

I sent a Bullydog programmer to Matt maybe two weeks ago to be tuned. Got it back two or three days later.

Anyone wanna race?

My deal was I didn't want to spend $500.00 on a new programmer so I called Gearhead and talked to Lars. He said they could reprogram a Bullydog 6 position which I found one online for $250.00, asking price, from a 2002 F250 7.3. I negotiated and bought it for $150.00 and sent it Fed Ex ground to Gearhead. It got there the next day. That night Matt called me as I needed to confirm with him that I have a 2001 7.3 (non compatible programs between the years), a shift kit and that I didn't have a muffler. He suggested tunes for a stock truck and two days and another $175.00 (no tax, flat) for the reprogramming later I had it, sent Fed Ex ground back to me. I know you all can do the math but $325.00 plus $9.00 shipping to them is what I paid. They paid return shipping.

Big, big, big, big difference.

Exactly, I use one, 80 tow.

But this looks pretty nice.
