Here's my problem no $$$$$$

I'm sure i could convince my Dad to let me put gauges on his truck by saying "Dad IF we ever have a problem the gauges will help the guys on FTE guess what is happening with the truck" The 6637 he wouldn't care about I think. And the BTS-VB and 4 inch exhaust I could install when he is away on a trip with help from friends.

I think I'm gonna get mine with 60 tow, 140, and high idle.

I'll use 140 for everyday driving, and 60 for towing my camper.

Tranny should be fine for now.

The reason he recommended the 120 is because of getting full power through the whole powerband, meaning when i tromp on it and keep it floored it doesn't cut out after a certain speed. It will keep pulling throughout the pedal.

Parkland, you can get whatever you want but Jody or Diane will give you advice on what tunes you can handle and what they recommend, but its your call, your the customer.

How is the 140 tune for driveability? any reason not to use it daily?

I worry about the tranny, but apparently the DP-Tuner turns up the pressure or something to that effect.

Parkland,

Here is a little information I put together on our website that describes each tune and what it is recomended for. We don't recommend the 140 for your Daily driver tune.

On my truck, the 120 & 140 dynoed virtually identically (the 120R tune actually edged it out by like 2 HP, statistically insignificant). The only difference is the amount of smoke at take off, and maybe when you get on it while rolling.

I completely agree, I very rarely use my 120 tune anymore!

Gotta watch your EGTs in the 140 though.
