Your turn will come soon enough(deereman4020) Than you will be saying sweetheart my I have a DP tuner!!! Please.........

 

the dp will come waaaaaayy before that my list of things to buy(when i have the truck and the money) 1. gauges 2.truck air horns 3. dp tuner 4. 4in exhaust 5. 6.0L tranny cooler 6. 6.0L intercooler 7. valve body and finnally(i hope) 8. a transmission shift kit

 

You might want to re think your order

1. Gauges
2. 4" exhaust
3. Intake if you don't already have it
4. DP/VB
5. All else.

 

ok thanks i thought i read could get away with not having a 4in exhaust before the DP
oh and im definatly going to put air horns before the exhaust and the DP the stock horn sounds so wimpy

 

You could get away with a muffler delete, but it might still be high on the egts if there is some towing in your future. I would defiantly do the DP before the horns, I think they will get old and the DP power never will. Just my 2cents

 

how big of a PITA is it to upgrade the exhaust to a 4 incher

 

Pretty easy, they go from the turbo back with a straight through muffler or none at all.

You can get a 4 or 5 inch for about $300+-, they are manderal bent and made to fit our trucks

 

ok thanks reps given edit reps attepmted to be given rep police says i have to spread it around

 

Got the F5 installed this morning and it went very well. The toughest part for me was getting that dang A-pillar gauge mount back in place.The combination of Jody's install instructions and the install video posted by Ron's power stroke really made things very easy. One cautionary note I have is be careful plugging in the connecting cable at both the PCM and the flip switch as it can plug in either way. It's keyed for one way plugging but it WILL plug in the opposite way because the plastic socket is flexible.
I went with the gauge mount kit that Jody sent and positioned it on my middle mounted gauge. Looks great and is perfectly positioned to access easily.
Overall I'm very pleased with the new unit and it's program flexibility.
Thanks again to all for your great help and input!

Let me know if you would like to see a photo of the mount.

 

Of course we want pics. Take some of the whole A pillar.

Oh, and congratualtions!!! What are your impressions of the DP?

 

congrats Jim..that vid is in the mod's and fixes link in my sig..glad the vid helped you out. ..BUT !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I really like the extra features provided with the switch. "no start" is handy and it seems the "stock" setting is good for around town.Jody says the 80 econo is best for highway cruisn'.

Here's a photo of my F5 switch mounted on the middle gauge,it seemed like a more handy spot for it:

 

looks sharp Jim..thanks for posting it...does the switch velcro to the mount???

 

Nope. The kit comes with two longer screws used for mounting it up against the plate. They replace the original screws keeping the switch together.

 

thats cool..i like how you got yours set...can you see around it ok?? i think i will order one..i dont like mine down on the dash with velcro...thanks Jim..
