upgrades
Gauges ordered, isspro. Bts contacted, MBRP in the works, and finally my Dp is in the works. Its not ordered yet but I have contacted DP and it will be ordered. I think I will go with stock, no start, decel and 80 economy. Cant wait to get things in. Wife said go for it.

Well if you are wanting to save a little money you could go with a MKO exhaust and save a hundred or so and get more tunes for your DP-Tuner 
. Sounds great you'll have fun modding but you'll frown when the tank is empty after the first run.

The extra tunes might be nice but I am not looking for anything aggressive. I just want better economy and better towing. I am not looking to race or blow alot of smoke. Not sure what the high idle is for, input on that would be appreciated.

i think you made the right choice..i have the 40 and 60 tow..40 cause of a lot of steep hills around here..i run the 80 econo all the time...makes the truck feel like a hot rod wothout loosing MPG..i have the 120..but only used it twice...i also have the high idle..works great for keeping the AC cold or the hearer blowing hot when your parked for a few minutes..also good for boosting some one...

I use the high idle to bring the alt up into a higher output range, definately helps for charging batteries on trailer.

tunes
Your not listing any tow tunes. Depending on you tow weight, you need 40 or 60 tow, maybe 80 tow if light towing. Best bet is to tell Jody what you do with your truck, what you want and what you have in you truck and have him help you decide what tunes you need. If you can stand the extra $45, one of the smoke tunes are a ton of fun.

I am planning on talking with Jody but he is going to be gone for awhile and so am I. Hopefully we can still talk, I left my number with him. I will let you know what the final tunes are but it may be not untill the end of the week. I will be jonesing by then.

I think you answered your own question right there! 60 tow juuuussst in case you tow heavier! Well worth the $45 bucks
