dp tuner???

hi all, will a dp tuner help a mostly stock 7.3 from being so doggy? i drove my brothers truck with a cummins some time ago, and it feels more responsve to the go pedel then mine. not that mine falls on it's face upaginst his but just not as fast to responed when you take off. or is that the pcm slowing it down some?? so i was thinking about getting a dp tuner if it would help ot a lot. and it woulden't be bad to have more power also!!

You wouldn't recongize your truck if you were blindfolded and in the passenger seat.

I,ve got he DP tuner with Stock,60HP,80hp,and 100hp and its great! I added a 4inch stainless exhaust and AFE stage 2 intake and couldnt feel any diffrence until I added the tuner. Its been flawless for 2 years now and I love being able to return to the stock tune (quieter) anytime or bump it up to the 100hp setting for a little smoke show. If you ever decide you want more options they are great (and cheap ) about reburning your tuner. Call them first and tell them what you plan to use it for and they will keep you out of trouble. I tow with my 2002 F250SD in 60hp mode and you can feel the diffence and see it in the egt,s.

Might want to wail 'till the F6 chip comes out VERY soon I think! Looks freakin awesome. I am hoping to have the $$$ soon enough to get one.


The new F6 multi-functional chip for the Ford EEC-V equipped vehicles is the ONLY chip on the market today that allows the customer to update their own chip with our tuning via In-Situ (ISP) programming. Not only can you have up to 16 different program choices, you will be able to reprogram your chip at NO Charge with updates to your existing programs. Purchase and download new tunes as you modify your vehicle. Download new programs straight from our program library. Custom tunes can be emailed and downloaded using a mini USB cable. Are you tired of mailing chips back and forth for simple updates? SEARCH NO MORE!! The F6 designed by Moates.net for DP-Tuner is the only switch on fly chip with this capability. All existing hardware (cable and switches) for our current F5 chip work in conjunction with the New F6. Special features- *Online program repository available at your fingertips for download. *Custom programs can be emailed and you update the F6 chip via your laptop with a mini USB cable. *Try, then Buy (5 key cycles of standard tunes are on us). *Field firmware updatable for future features. • We’re not done yet….We will add more features as time allows. All updates will be available thru our website. No need to send your hardware back for future firmware updates. Look for details about this exciting new Chip from DP-Tuner in the October edition of Diesel Tech Magazine. This item will be available for purchase September 2008.

They sponsor this forum. Just click on DP Tuner at top of page and read all about it.

Don't even bother with the Edge.
