Wink dp tuner update

Hard to type with my perma grin. With out a doubt the best money i have ever spent on any vehicle. Just a warning to all future dp installation, make sure that if you get the no start tune that you place the controller in a place that it won't get accidentally bumped. I did not do that . Spent three trying to figure out why my truck would not start.

Just put my DP in today, i Freakin love it, puts my old edge to shame. The mid range power is just awesome, i cant believe how it pulls now, and its a great investement... Installed my 6637 from clay too, well worth the money, no runin around huntin for parts, all comes in one box ready to install, took like 5 min to do.

Was a little disappointed in Jody from DP though, called him 3 times to talk to him about what i should get with the mods i have and ask some q's about the code tunes, he never called back, so i was a little pissed, i ordered it from clay at riffraff. He set me right up.Props to Clay Note, u da man.....

I remember Jody mentioning he is going to be by himself this week in the office, so don't be too upset, If I remember correctly from another thread, his wife had to be cared for, he'll call you back. Congrats on the DP..

DieselE,

I am sorry Jody was unavailabe when you tried to reach him. If its been over the last couple of weeks then it has been tough to reach him. Please try all forms of contact if you can't reach Jody. James is our part-time tech person for contact when you cannot get though to us. Email him and leave him your number and he will call you back. No excuses, just unforseen happenings came our way last week and Jody missed the latter part of the week due to me having surgery last Monday and both of our kids came down with the flu Thursday.

I am glad to hear that Clay got you taken care of. We pride ourselves on our customers service and need to know where things fall through. Thanks for letting us know.

I too just finished a short test drive with the new DP. WOW. Unbelieveable difference.

On another note : I still haven't fixed my stalling problem - not related to tuner. My AE was supposed be delivered today but I suppose the sucky weather here has it delayed. Maybe tomorrow..... Can't wait to take a long test ride. I see a lot of grinning in my near future.
