Hey, having some issues with my DP tuner (I think) they recommended I scan with my laptop to see what’s going on. Anybody in the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com</st1:City>St Cloud, <st1:State w:st="on">MN</st1:State> area with one of these scanners (like Autoenginuity )? I don’t have the 200 some bucks to buy one!

Hey, thanks Lee. Got a handle name for him? (I haven't been able to find the chapter either, not used to this site!)

Hard to explain, but when I’m running on economy (#3) and I’m in-between the truck not needing power and not slowing down, it sounds like the turbo charger is kicking in and out, and the truck kind of lugs. Anytime I’m giving it throttle or slowing down, it doesn’t do it, nor does it do it if I run it in factory mode. The only other thing I guess I’ve noticed, is that when at idle, the chip makes it run higher, so I drop it back to stock when I’m idling (to save fuel).<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Thanks for the info too, by the way!
