I think we kind of promote what we have, in most cases. But, I agree with, and didn't know, everything you said.

Yes, we are internally grateful to everyone who has supported us here. It was the reason we wanted to become this particular forum sponsor on FTE and we will continue to do so. Just because our logo is on the top right corner doesn't give anyone else non rights to be happy about what they have and not be able to post about it.

That's all I was trying to say.

Never meant for it to appear as if I was looking for a fight. That's not my style. It's only natural to like what you have and since I have Jody's tunes and I found out about you guys on this FTE and you guys participate in and support FTE, I just wanted to offer my opinion.
Guys, Diane is so right about the newer tunes. I thought my older ones were the best, now that I have the re-burns with the newer TC lock speeds, throttle response and a few other changes he's made, I'm having to watch how I drive until I get used to the extra power.
Now, let's get this guy tuned and feeling just exactly how much more power these engines have with a little "fine tuning".

Wow, I did not intend for this to happen. I just want my truck to run better. I dont know enough to be able to make the decision to go with one programmer or the other. I am just looking for a good price for tunes that meet my towing requirments. That's all.

Sorry about that hijack-

Just imagine a scene from Mama's family of her giving her boys a good talkin' too.

Brother, you didn't make anything happen, we just all like what we own and that's cool. I will tell you that you can not begin to imagine the difference you will feel when you get custom tunes for your truck. I used to run the SuperChips and just recently had to run it again while having my DP-Tuner re-burned, and I had forgot just how much difference a custom tune makes. You get which ever one meets your needs and pocket book. Please continue to hang around and ask questions. That's how most of use got started on here. I read, ask and looked quite a while before deciding on any of my mods.

How big is the hill? If it's a big hill, go with something like the 40tow, if it's not so bit, the 60tow will do you nicely. Get the 80econ for everyday driving and fun. If you want more, there's plenty to be had.

It is hard to part with the chip for you to retune it. Which was kinda of the thing when I got big oil and later AC Stage II injectors.

OTOH, you have solved that issue with the F6. Someday, I will break down and sell my F5 and get an F6 so I can download the tune directly from you, try before you buy WITHOUT having to send it back, etc, etc.

Aklim,

We have always worked with situations where someone can not be without their chips and do a swap.

WE do offer the F6 upgrade offer now.
