DP Tuner installed What a difference

Will I got the truck in july with only the lift wheel and tires. I have been waiting and just reading theese forums to get ideas on what to do. Every local shop in my area wanted to sell me an Edge product. Now Im not saying they are bad I just knew by reading on her there was better stuff for our trucks. Had the chance to ride in a DP tuned truck about a month ago and it was crazy that our trucks could do drive like it did. So started with the exhaust then gauges, and finaly the chip. All I can say is WOW I am glad I waited. What a difference. I can't believe the power difference and responsiveness. Makes me want to drive my truck every day. Can't wait to tow with the added power. I got the F6 with 80T, 80E,and 120 Race for now. Thank you to clay for pointing me in the right direction in product and for help with install of the switch and thank you to weekendwarriorfsw32 (Nick) for the help installing the gauges and with the switch. I have learned so much from this forum so thank you to the others who have answered all my questions.

I understand what you are talking about!!!! Hucka and i installed myDp 60T, 80E, and 120R about a month ago, I have fallen in love all over again!!!! Made a trip to Atlanta last week pulling a 6x12 enclosed trailer to pick up some furniture for a buddy. On the way back in 60T it was unbelievable, i was curious what it would do in 120R that was almost a mistake!!! Note to self UHaul enclosed trailers are not supposed to be towed at 95MPH!!!!! Now if could get my SES light to stop smiling at me! and my EGTs lower!!

Trainhornman you should go for a ride in a DP tuned truck if you get the chance. Just beware you will want one the next day. I really can't believe the difference in my truck. It is so fun to drive and power when you want it.

What do most of you tow in? I tow a camping trailer that is approx. 6000 lbs. Do you think the 80T will be too much with my lift and bigger tires?

X2 on the EGTs. I was pulling a long uphill grade between GA and NC last week and was keeping on eye on the EGT gauge and one eye on the road
