Since September Ive been a member here learning as much as I can about my 7.3. I have seen DP this and DP that and it wasnt a big deal to me since Id had my SC tuner and was somewhat happy with it. Well...I got my DP Tuner in from Clay today and my mouth dropped with the change in tuning. I got the NS, Stock, 60tow, 80econ and 120race. The shifting I will have to get used to and I actually like how it shifts. The 80 econ and 120 race tunes puzzle me though. In 80 it seems like my truck just wants to literally do a wheelie. I dunno if my 80 and 120 reversed or something but the tunes are amazing nonetheless! The downshifting will need to be gotten used to as well.

Anyways, now I know what all the talk was about! Great product!

 

Sounds like many more happy days to come!!! Congrats!

 

A big congrats Tristan and welcome to the club.. What a big difference it makes. Enjoy...

 

Welcome to the Permagrin Club...

 

I should be ordering mine next week. Looking forward to joining the club too.

 

It's nice to hear these stories. I never get tired of them. I really like the ones where there are guys using an "off the shelf" unit and then they go with a DP or TW chip. The difference is always amazing. I wish I could run into someone that has a Superchip or like product that thinks they have a fast truck.

 

Welcome to the Dark Side of the tuning Tristan . Enjoy a higher then usual tire wear .

 

Congrats Tristan, and enjoy.

 

God I got to stop reading about DP tuners!! I'm starting to have dreams again!!
Got to start being real nice to the wife again!!!
Injoy!! Tristan......

 

congrats. i am still getting use to the down shifting, and the big power difference. but it is great. does kinda make you have a non stop grin while driving!

 

Awsome, enjoy the new found power!

 

Glad you are happy! I definitely love mine.

The only way I can tell the difference between 80e and the 120 tune is that 120 will bury the EGTs past 12 if I am not careful. It won't do it as quickly with the 80e, but I do get what you are saying.

 

Waiting on the shipment now. DP ordered

 

OK,, I have been to the DP website and considering one. But I have a few questions?

Is there just a plug and play option for upgrades without taking the "drive line" to the limits? I am not into racing, but would like quicker/firmer shifts and MPG would be great.

Is it only for my model truck or can it be used on other 7.3 of different years? Will it work on a 04 6.0?

 

It won't work on a 6.0, they have a completely different PCM. As far as having plug and play upgrades, you need the F6 chip in order to have plug and play access to upgrades. They have trial tunes that you can download from your computer and load to your chip yourself and try out for I believe 10 or 12 cycles of the key, and decide if you like/want them before you buy.
