Opinions Needed

I am going to buy a DP-tuner but I am looking for some input on what levels I should get. I don't do a whole lot of towing. It's a 2001 f-250 w/ 80K miles. I have installed a 4" lift with 35" tires, cold air intake, muffler delete and and the sonnax shift improver. Also I'm going to be installing guages and wanted to know where the best place to get these. I'd liek to get all 3 in a package if possible. My last question is what is the transgo tugger? Thanks ahead of time for the input.

Ben

I would go with 60t or 80t(if you tow light), 80e,120r, you could also add no start and high idle, if you idle alot in the summer (helps with AC). Your best bet is to give Jody a call and work it out with him, he will set you up.

I would check out Diesel Manor for gauges .

Transgo is a shift kit you have to pull the trans to install all of it, I think. I don't know much about it, but I'm sure someone here does.

Good luck

I'm assuming that the tow shift is somthing you have to ask for specifically? Also what is the lope idle for and is there a big difference between the 120race 140 extreme and the 140 aggressive? I don't mean to drag this out but just wanted to hear what everyone has to say about each level.
Thanks,
Ben
