Smile DP Tuner Installed

Alright.....what a difference ! stock, +60 tow, +80 econo. on a 2001 F250 7.3 six speed manual. Haven't towed yet, but just pulling out of my driveway and the short test run I made was great. What can I expect in fuel consumption when I use the tow mode ? Better or ? Anyway, the install was not bad at all. The most time consuming was cleaning the contact fingers. Took my time and did it once. I spent right around 2 hours .

That is good to hear. How was getting the PCM out around the clutch?

Getting the PCM out around the clutch pedal wasn't bad at all. The top 10mm bolt on the bracket was reachable with a 10" extention. I thought getting to the 10mm bolt holding the electrical plug was the most difficult.
