Time for DP-Tuner

After reading about how much fun everyones having with a DP-tuner, I finally did it, should have it in a few days.

60 tow, 80 econo, 120 race (grin) settings.
Hope to get better economy since I'll be driving the truck more. The ol' '93 explorer has seen better days the front axle u-joints need replaced again and I'm not doing those anymore, along with the spindle bearings. It's just turning into a rust heap.

The 14.7 mpg is in the CITY I'm a bit over 18 on highway, but haven't done enough without towing on highway for real numbers. If you're getting 18-19 in the CITY, you're doin better then anybody else on here!

I ordered mine a couple days ago, right after I ordered the BTS valvebody to work with it. They should all be here next week, and installed by next Saturday.

I use the Excursion to tow my racecar, not be my racecar, so I only ordered the 80E, Decel and 60T tunes, both with the "No Codes" feature.

After all I've heard on here, I'm looking forward to what this setup brings, as I've been pretty happy with my Ex in stock form so far...
