DP Tuner installed,Double cure??
ordered DP tuesday after talking to John Wood about a torque converter problem,he spent about a half hour talking me out of buying a new torque and buying a DP tuner
well guess what his advice seems to have been dead on
I only got two tunes 40 tow and 80 econe for the time being (this won't last long)
power wise the 40 tow don't seem much different than hypertech 100 hp and very little smoke,think this will be my around town setting also
in 80 econo get a good belch of smoke and turbo spools much faster haven't had much time to play with this one yet
all in all truck is much different and torque converter and trans act like i want them to

Any recomendations?
I occasionally tow a 20ft trailer with a Kubota backhoe on board.

the shifting is surely better,will have to see how economy is

this was an experment that seems to have worked,once VB is in will get a few more tunes but didnt want too many to have to retune in a few months
