Question Ordering the DP- 120 or 140

All the reading on the DP has me sold.
I'm looking at the 80 hp econo and the 40 hp tow programs for sure.

I would like your guys input on the high idle, 120/140, and drive thru programs.

btw; gauges are in the works.

Based on my sig with no other performance mods planned;

1) would you do the 120 or 140 tune? I had been warned that my oem fuel system will not be able to hang with the 140 and will result in constantly throwing codes.

2) is the drive-thru program going to be worth it in my application?

3) For high idle i want it to keep my a/c blowing cool, running a winch, lights, and charging batteries. IS the 1200 rpm a good all around choice?

I have both 120 and 140 tunes........I can definitely tell a nice difference while in 140. And there is a slight difference in 80E and 120 Race, I actually prefer the shifting in 120. I say get em both! Ya might think about waiting just a bit on your purchase, until the F6 chip is released, then you can add whatever you want right from home, no mailing the chip back and forth!

Jody told me that some of the trucks can handle the 140 and some will throw codes. I have the 120 and the 140 and i love the smoke the 140 puts out. I use the 120 a good amount though too. It all depends on what you want, some people just go with the 140 and skip the 120...

I wish I had the drive thru program but not going to loose sleep over it. Hardly ever use a drive thru anyway.


I do have the high idle @ 1200 rpm and love it. Warms the truck up fast and doesn't sound like an old muscle car with a stuck open choke.

I would get gauges first. END OF STORY! Do it in the right order or you WILL lose.

Edit - Sorry, I forgot to be constructive. Don't mess around with the 120. Look at my sig I learned from experience.
