1705 superchip tuner?
I want to buy a 1705 superchip tuner for my 2001 pd 7.3. I,m trying to buy one off ebay, but no body will ship to canada? I will pay up to $300.00 if any body has any ideas?

Well I don't want to steer you away, but have you considered a custom burned chip? I plan on selling my Diablo Predator and going with a chip. From what I have heard they are above and beyond any tuner out there. Tuner's are nice for troubleshooting code's I guess. Just trying to make sure all options are covered before anyone lays down some coin.

man I had one of those 1705 superchip tuners for my truck, I sold it on e-bay a few weeks ago. I'm getting a DP tuner in the very near future, I hear only great things about it. Just a though you might want to look into --> around the same price, w/ multiple tunes and adjustable on the fly.

b/c I wanted a DP tuner. It is a multi position chip that can hold up to 16 different tunes. They are adjustable on the fly and have more specific tunes for your needs. Tunes like 80hp economy setting, 40hp tow, 120 hp race, stock tunes. All you have to do is turn the switch to change tunes, no more wasted time spent tuning the vehicle.
Not to mention my buddy has one, and I need one to keep up with him. That 120hp race tune will roll the smoke.
In my opinion, it is a much better investment than the superchip tuner.

Do yourself a favor and get some gauges if you're going to be towing with this truck before you mess with the power level. In town it's hard to really push these trucks unloaded to create dangerous EGT level so you *could* run the 1705 without gauges (I did). Then I would recommend saving yourself the time and money and call Jody Tipton at DP-Tuner when you're ready to buy a chip. Just my .02
