Which is? I've forgotten, was it what a waste of time and money it is sitting in a drive-thru lane on your fat ****? I can see why someone with 5 kids in those damn child seats almost needing it, but it's the only excuse I can come up with other than maybe you have no legs.
You don't like drive thru's - I think we got the point. You won't be getting that tune obviously. So they call it the drive thru tune, big deal. It's shorter than "I want to talk to someone outside my truck while I sit inside it without shutting her down" tune. But that's a bit long, don'tcha think?

WOW- have we got off track on this one!!
PHEW! I personally would like it because when I hit the remote start my cold engine, straight piped truck and forgot I left it on 80Eco, at 0515, I'm pretty sure the neighbors don't enjoy that too much. I actually like my neighbors, so this tune would be a nice way to be nice back to them.
When I drive my fat a$$ thru the drive thru because it is easier than letting the animals run loose, I just shut her down.

How about "Well to America where you have that option?" If you choose not to use the drive-thru, great, but HOLY CRAP do you get all holier-than-thou on this topic! I'm assuming then that since through your statements you're saying that you have a "fat ****" if you use the drive thru. And since you don't use the drive thru, that you're super fit somehow because of that? If so, then great for you. You apparently want to ban drive thru's, yes? What if someone decided to ban you from driving a truck? Would that be any more fair?

You brought it up, not me. But as a matter of fact I'm half dead. I have a cracked hip socket, a broken clavicle, and only one lung. I wake up every morning surprised I'm still alive. But I'll be damned if I'm going to sit in a drive thru lane with all the other lemmings. It's much easier and cheaper to park and walk in.

Heck, I leave mine running even when I go inside. It gets hot down here in Texas and the a/c keeps my dog and my beer cool. Besides.....I gotta let the turbo cool.
If we are really concerned with a few $$....we wouldn't eat fast food at all, fat *** notwithstanding.
Now if I only had a DP tuner....
Besides...I believe the dinosaurs died for ME....

Guys this thread is scaring me! Why are we excited about making our trucks quieter? This is a bad trend! But actually I'm a hypocrit because I asked jody if he could make me a tune like that about 8 months ago I guess. He said he'd take a stab at it. . . . and it didn't really do the trick. . . but with my mods he said it would take a few trys or some live tuning to really figure it out. However. . . . the smoke lope setting pretty much eliminates the engine knock. But. . . if you have a right quartering tailwind while you are at the drive thru. . . not only will you need to be on oxygen. . . but the restaraunt employees will probably hate on your whole family. It smokes while almost as thick as my hammer down black smoke. . . Lots of fun. Its a task in that setting just trying to get the RPMs up. it will shoot smoke rings like none other. . . and I once have shot fire out of my tail pipe. I heard a gunshot bang and saw a little flame shoot out. Its pretty bad ***. Its best when the engine is not fully warmed up. . . too cold and it dies. But it is entertaining.

Yeah I am curious to hear the results of a short drive in this tune too.....Hopefully they will have it mastered and make it so you can idle through the drive thru or through the campground early in the morning and not wake up the dead!! It might be nice too for a "startup tune" in the winter to warm up...but then again, if it cuts back on fuel, how much will it really warm up anyway?????
