If I had it to do again i would not have gotten the 140..I just never use it.
It is not required but a BTS valve body tuned to the tuner and the tuner tuned to the valve body is a good upgrade.

I had a DP tune, & a "John Wood" trans installed the same day. With the DP I had 20, 40, 60 tow, 80 econ., & 120 race tunes.
For the most part I usually run in 80 econ, and rarely use the 120 race (but it is fun!!) . The low tow settings are used when towing and climbing the Mts of Colorado.
They do manage to keep my egt's down to bearable while keeping my speed up.

The 140 tune will really chug out some smoke. It has great throttle response, and it's what i was on when i made the picture in my signature. It wakes the truck up down low, but up on top my HPOP suffers. I make about 25-26psi WOT with the 120 and 140 programs, however if i run in the 80 econo, it seems to take longer to get there, however on top the power does not fall off as fast like it does on 120 and 140. I can make 30-31psi of boost with my .84 turbonetics in the 80hp tune.

Wow. Didn't know a diesel could detonate. Maybe I will learn something here but don't see how detonation could happen there. No spark plug after all. My TS never even came close to that.

I think I know what your talking about, I noticed it when I had only the 10k mod, which was a while ago now, I think it waslow to mid range rpms(1600-2k IIRC), sounds more like a drivetrain bind then anything else? Not that me confirming really helps, but I think that would mean its in the hpop since the only mod for me at the time was the 10k mod? If we had the same noise?
