No more tuner
No more chips for me. Wow, All I was trying to do was sell my chip,,,,,,,lol
I loved my dp. I got great fuel mileage with it. Night and day from stock and the tow tune worked great. Holy smokes what a post I created. sorry guys. lol If anyone wants a chip my advice would be never go over 50 horse with it unless you are gonna use it as a pull truck and have and endless supply to money. But, not just chips or tuners. Any motor gas or diesel when you add horsepower you lose longevity and dependability.

To each his own. Most have no problems. Remember most people will only post on forums when they have problems.The 6.0 powerstrokes are the ones that have problems with head studs. 7.3s do well. But you need to be sensible when chipping your truck. I see alot of guys chipping there truck and beating the snot out of it. Of course you will have problems. Its a truck not a vette!! Lol

I've never had any problems with mine. When i first got it, it shifted like a truck was rear ending me, but I sent it back to get a little line pressure taken out and it worked fine. But it was even better when I got it live tuned!

So are you saying that all of those have never had failures? This is getting a little rediculous now.

(as of the last time I saw it discussed)*Odds are against all of them, especially with what some are doing on PMR's.
And, Justin I think you have some Moderator blood in you.

I have friends who have tried those other tunes and do not like them, and those tuners havent been able to fix what they dont like about it.

I find it very hard to believe that no one has windowed a block or holed a piston running any of those tunes. It happens to stock non-tuned engines. And if I'm wrong, then I stand corrected.
