Holy @#*%&$@*

What else is there to say. Put in my DP Tuner after work yesterday and Holy $&!t what an amazing difference. Previously, even with a Superchips on the truck (which I did not know was on the truck) the best 0-60 time I could get was about 12 seconds. That was building about 10 lbs. boost to start. Now, from a standing start, stabbing the go peddle I did that in 8.10 seconds. That is in 80E. Did not even make the run in 120 Race.


Shifting is instantaneuos. Holds the TC locked lower than 40 mph. Not much playing yet but WOW! I can roast the tires nicely too.

I will get pictures up soon of the install.

Thanks to DP and Clay!

Great looking install and congrats. Looks like another case of Permagrin.

My dash already had holes all over in it from the PO installing a car phone kit so I had no remorse cutting this hole for the JMS in-dash mount. Jody offers a mount that you can slide behind one of your gauges on the a-pillar if your truck is so equipped. Other than that, get some Velcro and stick it wherever you want to hold the switch in place.

Watch for deals on used F5's, lots of guys selling them to upgrade to the F6 I assume. I see them regularly on a few other PSD forums. I got mine for $250 shipped right here in the FTE classifieds with: high idle, 60 tow, 80 econo, 100 performance, 120 race, 140 aggressive already installed. They were old tunes, so I had Jody re-burn my chip and add the drive through tune when he was up here for live tuning.

Thanks again. I wanted something handy for switching but yet kind of out of sight if you know what I mean. Truly a different truck. Yes, Permagrin is in full force!!
