Agreed, thats why I went with a DP-Tuner instead of Tony Wildman just for the fact Jody is just a few hrs away.

I hope that it's a long time before my trans goes south. My truck just has 45k on it. The only thing that bothers me about my trans is the dang rattling TC.

IIRC that's very common on early 99's. It's more embarrassing than anything. I can't justify spending 1,000 bucks on a good tc on a stock trans.

Yeah, I live on the West Coast and am a happy John Wood customer.

When I got my F250, I called John up and had him send me a valve body. When it comes time for a new 4R100, John will credit me the valve body cost.

I have two of JW's valve body's. One in the JW built tranny in my Excursion and one in the stock tranny of my F250.

I couldn't be happier.

Thanks for all the responses guys. I'm gonna order a tugger either tonight or tomorrow. And maybe a chip from Jody, since they extended their holiday sale.

Hey Huck you will like the tugger. Well that and the tunes from Jody I have never had or rode in a truck with his chip in it but there are a lot of people around here that love them so you can't go wrong with that.

I will let everyone know how I like my tunes from Tony though(which will be a lot).

I've talked to a few guys that have ran both Tony and Jody's tunes. Some like Tony's better and some like Jody's better. I've decided to buy one from Jody, for several reasons. 1. He is about 3-4 hours away. 2. I like the F5 switch and being able to have up to 16 tunes. 3. I'm considering the F6, I really like the email capability.

One of the biggest things for me was I already had a TS chip so for a 150 dollars to get some custom tunes is not bad. Plus I don't live close to either one of them.

I can't wait to hear how you like it Tracy. I rode in JD's truck yesterday and I was plenty impressed with his F5
