looks like ill be going with the TW. Another question about them though, they have a Light Tow mode and a Heavy Tow mode. I have a 250 and dont really know whats considered LIGHT towing and whats considered HEAVY towing. Under 5000 lbs light?? above Heavy? Thanks guys!!

Yes light is usually around a 5k load and heavy is above 5-8K. Mainly the heavy tow is there when EGT's are too high when towing and you can drop to the heavy tow to keep temps down.

Call Tony, he will answer your questions.
For what its worth, I bought a 3 pos. last year. Works great and no problems.
If I had it to do all over again I personally would have just got the TOW program and saved the money.
The economy is kinda sluggish, becasue of the early shifts and the extreme is hard to drive because you just barely touch the pedal and the truck launches forward. I have checked the fuel mileage on all three modes on highway driving and the they all average within 1 mpg of each other.
Long story short, I only use the tow and it works great for me.

I must have a bad site for Tony Wildman. Every time that I go to the site I never can find what choices that there are. There are choices for the TS but I don't see any for his chips just a list of prices that appear to be higher than Jody's.

Rog, Tony does things a little different that Jody. He doesn't have HP listed for his settings (mainly because the HP are pointless, since none of them are accurate...). Here is the page for a new chip

(Had it all along, Doah!)
I rechecked both sites for what "I would want" and it will cost me:
#0 to #5 = 6 Positions for $399.99 at DP Jody
#1 to #5 = 5 Positions for $450.00 at Tony Wildman
Difference: $50.00 and 1 Position. Really not enough to squabble about
