While we're on the subject of DP, anyone running the 140?
If so, what are the pros and cons?
I'll be giving some $$ up to Jody after the exhaust goes on and thought about the 6 pos chip,
Stock, hi idle, 40 Tow, 80, 100, 120.
What do ya'll use each setting for?
Smoke on the 120?

you can run around in hi-idle, but i dont recommend it, because the engine is transferring more stall torque to the torque converter, and it is partially locked, due to the pressure inside the T/C wanting to push the truck forward, because of the engine speed being alot higher than stock. the truck will try to creep forward as if you were just pushing the pedal to 1100 rpm. IT IS the stock horsepower setting, there is no difference in power when switching to hi-idle from stock. you can stand on the brake pedal and keep the truck from moving, but it sounds wierd at a stoplight and it just isnt good for it. high idle is designed for sitting still in N or P.
