Santa wears a brown suit and works 5 days a week.

You'll have permagrin. It's pretty amazing how much power you'll get.

Anyone have any ideas how long it takes now? I'm already looking for the truck! I'm excited!
How much of a PIA is the valve body?

You can have the chip installed in a couple hrs total time with cleaning. I have heard the valve body is easy but extremely messy, wear throwaway clothes.

Sorry, I meant for them to get it to me I think they're closed on Fridays so I guess nothing will happen today. I'm anxious now. I figure I had it half done just getting the PCM numbers.
I'm not looking forward to the valve body, but it does have a drain bolt so that's a huge step over any other tranny I've had to do, not to mention, I don't have to jack this truck up to do the tranny

I went ahead and ordered the HPX while I was at it.

dude....when you drive your truck after the install of all that...you're gonna be trippin...lol. I already had a BTS valvebody, I then,all at one time installed a DP Tuner(high idle,lope idle,60 tow,80econo,and 120 race),ATS Housing,Wicked Wheel,new bellowed uppipes,HPX crossover line, and also a magnaflow 4" turbo back exhaust.Whew, man what a difference it made, its like removing 4000.lbs from your truck. I can now roast both back tires and then bark second and make LOTS of smoke!!....( ALL THE WHILE HAULIN' SOME SERIOUS A$$!!)I ve hoped and prayed for a d-max,cummins or a rice burner or something to get beside me but it just hasnt happened.Well....sorry for ramblin but when you're through with your install...it'll be hard not to ramble....lol

Congrats Dave,I did the dp,idm mod and the transgo tugger(wow do you get oiley) all at the same time. Finally put her on the road today and wow love the tuner. Push button is sure nice. I keep going from the stock to the 80e, just to feel the difference. Oh ya, I keep watching in the passenger side mirror when I step on it to watch the smoke come out(love it). You will love the tuner.....

I would have done 60t, 80e, and 140 smoke. Didn't use any of the other ones, so i had 40 and 120 taken off the chip and two dyno tunes added!
