Questions about DP Tuner
I have finally decided to purchase a DP Tuner for my truck. I know that most of you guys on here swear by this tuner. My question is about the different tunes that are available. I would like to know which ones you guys are running and which ones you would recommend or stay away from.
My truck is a 2002 that is basicly stock. It has 4" exhaust, ISS-PRO guages, AFE stage II intake, rebuilt trans with upgraded cooler, and 3.73 gears. I am also running 35" tires with a leveling kit.The truck just turned over 48,000 miles and I love this truck.
I mainly drive this truck on weekends and occasionly pull an aluminum trailer with two atv's that can't weigh more than 2000 pounds.
I'm not looking to tear up anything on this truck, but I would like to have a little more power and maybe change the way it shifts into high gear. Thanks in advance for your advice

By far the most popular is the 80E. I leave mine there 90% of the time. If you get the F6 chip, you have the option of starting out with a few and then adding them as you want and even trying them out before you by. You pick them, they send them to you via the internet, you try them for a while, then you can buy them or try something else.

Sounds like a great truck. I like all of Jody's tunes but look at my sig, this is what I will use until I get Live Tuned. Talk to Jody and tell him what you are wanting and he will fix you up. I am sure you would enjoy the 120R and the 140A some times.

You can look at my sig and see what I have. Give Jody a call and he will help you pick the tunes you need/want. There is not one tune Jody has that I would not recommend. All his tunes are great.

I have practically the exact same truck as you. Mine is 02 with Mbrp full system with 6" miter stacks, intake, and 35" tires with 3.73 gears. It just turned 65000 miles. I put a Dp tuner in it about 2 months ago.......BEST THING I EVER DID! Tunes are, no start, stock, 60t 80e, 120race, 140agressive, smoke lope. Mainly I run it in the 80e mode. Great tuner would defiantly recommend.

I am running the TS 6 pos. chip, I like it for sure, but have to admit, the option to download, load and try tunes before I buy is VEEEERY appealing. Been considering trying the DP and comparing to my TS just for *****s and giggles. Don't get me wrong, the programs on my TS chip REALLY wake the truck up, BUT . . . with the new options in the new technology (download off internet, upload to chip and try, etc., etc.) is very cool and versatile, I like that flexibility.

You can see in my sig what I have. It's only been in for about 2 weeks or so. I've mostly been running around in 140x because I love rolling coal! Once I grow up again I'll go back to 80e lol.

I have all of those as well as the high idle, decel, and drive thru. I would say, probably stay away from the drive thru, because unless your truck is highly modified, it doesn't quiet it down enough (at least it doesn't mine) and probably you won't use smoke lope much, unless you find yourself sitting around at a complete stop and showing off. I like high idle, but would say get 1200rpm. I had that and when Jody re-burned me for my BTS VB, it came back with 1100rpm and I miss the 1200. I use the decel several times a week.
Ya i dont use the smoke lope to much at all. It was fun for like the first 10 times but now i hardly ever turn it on.
