Talking DP Installed

I got in to ford and had them recal my Speedo and the truck seemed to run better. Then I got home and put in the tuner and I must say the truck runs like a champ. I can blow smoke on 80 econ and I have 24 boost at WOT. I really see a difference in the way it drives on the long and steep grades I have to drive on around here. Just another happy Dp tuner owner

I would do gauges first. You have no idea how fast your EGTs will climb at WOT. The 4" exhaust will help the EGTs to stay a little longer.

Have fun.
