Thinking about a TW, read this!
I suppose most would think, by the title, that this post is negative. Just the opposite. I deal with a lot of businesses and this has made the #1 spot. First of all, a lot of good communication in making my decision with Tony. I pretty much had my mind made up by the information on this forum but Tony sealed the deal. I only ordered three positions; economy, light tow and heavy tow. When he sent it to me, he said, sorry for the delay, I threw in a couple more positions. To me, there wasn't any delay but now I have a six position chip! I tried it out for a 1K trip and loved it. The only thing was at very, very light throttle the truck would buck, like going over a hill on cruise and the throttle would go to idle. Then at the bottom when a little throttle was needed the bucking would start. I called Tony, he said to send it in and he is returning it in one day UPS delivery. When I get it back tommorow I'll let you know how it works in a day or so. What a guy!!!!!!!

All three of you are right, great guy but be patient. And no, I didn't get any kick backs. I just was so surprised I thought I would pass it on. Its not every day a person is treated so well!!

I got to meet Tony and his family at a meet & greet in DFW. He has a great family and really knows his stuff. I'm saving for my chip and I know I'll be getting it from him when the funds allow.

Cost is gonna depend on how many positions you get. I think the 6 pos goes for $475, that range, correct me if im wrong. Performance is pretty good. My trucks lifted with 38's, and she moves pretty darn good for a lifted truck, more than i expected. I guess its gonna depend on whats done to your truck for the performance part.

I'm still on the fence on what vender/product I'm gonna get. I like the Dp- Tuner because you can have more than 6 tunes and the f5 functional switch.
What does Tony offer for the switch? I'll looked on the site a few weeks back and didn't find anything.

TW has a six position rotary switch. FWIW I had a 4 pos TW and then went with a six position from DP and just last winter went back to a 6 position from Tony. This one's a keeper and I'm done changing chips.

To me the F5 is neat and all but more than 6 positions.....I can't think of any opportunity where I would want let alone need more than 6. Plus cost. each program cost another $45. I am going with TW. Sending my chip out very soon to have him work his magic.
