I know its your forum sponsor, but man.

I swear, all SD guys ever say is how much other tuners suck and how great DP tuners are.

So any DP tuner threads like this are amusing to me.

I believe that DP makes a good tuner. Would I put one in my truck? Probably not, it does not fit the profile for what I want to do.

So, all in all, I think guys need to lighten up a bit on it.
Though, the thread title does suck. haha.

Please post some post where most of the SD guys say this. I have never said this and don't remember anyone on here saying that other tuners suck. I have only heard this from people that don't like DP-TUNER. All I have heard when a thread comes up about tuners, is that, I have this tuner and I like it.

Edge, SC, BD, & Diablo are examples of Tuners the "suck"...

And for the record, I never disconnect my batteries. Just make sure the keys are out and the PCM is powered down before messing with it. My cover is trimmed so I can remove the chip without pulling the PCM -- one reburn and I trimmed it so I no longer had to remove the PCM.

Wonder if charging the batts fixed his problem. I'll bet a six pack and a ham sandwich that was it.

I had to go on a trip this weekend and got back tonight and figured id give it another shot at cleaning the ports. I got everything out, cleaned it again, once again being 99% sure itd work this time, and the same thing happened again. Im hoping I didnt fry anything. I never had any static sparks or anything else that would concern me happen. Does anyone know what else could be wrong? Im gonna call DP tomorrow and try to get things worked out. Thanks.
The chip and switch both work off of the power supply that is transmitted though the PCM to the J3 port. If you scan for codes I would put a pretty penny on a P0603 KAM error code. If this persits an easy cure is a battery tender. We have them on all our fords. F250, F150 and Mustang. Its common if you do not drive you truck everyday to keep the charge up on the batteries.

Hope this helped and you get back on the road.

See, you guys are worried over the title, when you should be confident that the Tuner is GOOD.
=)

And as for People who say it, I didn't have a recorder at the time to record their conversations.
=)

But, as the other guy posted all the sucky tuners. haha. =)
I hate it when i hear ford people putting banks tuners on their truck too. makes me wanna throw up.

Its like "You know that gail banks doesnt' even like powerstrokes right? he says they are junk."

How in the world did this turn into another pissing match about tuners?
Ya, it was a crappy title for the thread. But reading the original post, I don't take it as him bashing DP at all. Just that it's not working and he needs help. Hopefully it's a simple fix like charging the batteries.

So dual penetration killed his truck?

RAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! INTERNET, SERIOUS BIDNESS!!!!!!

Everyone on this forum gets butthurt over the littlest things. The guy's title is most likely sarcastic. Or maybe he's trying to get some posts in it to figure out WTF is wrong and the a way to get posts quick in your thread is to put a tuner name or windowed block in your title.

If you ignore the tuner addition and look a the continuous ticking under the hood mention, that's classic weak battery symptoms. It's been mentioned to charge the batteries and try again. Let it play out.

I'd say the OP's problem is with the batteries. There is nothing involved in the installation of a chip that would prevent the truck from turning over, except perhaps leaving the door opened too long to drain the weak batteries. I hope to hear what he finds out.

As for a pissin' match between chips/tuners, it seems to me that there are 4 chips/tuners that folks on here like. DP is one of them. While there are a few exceptions, most of the guys on here respect all 4. I also think it's fair to note that the number one supplier of chips to folks on this board is more likely to get a little more negative feedback simply because they have more customers. You can't please all the people all the time. I believe that all complaints need to be dealt with in private between customer and company.

A nice sunny vacation on a beach with white sand is what I'm dreaming about.(a coconut with fruity drink would be nice, too!)

Everyone needs to take a deap breath and back away from the key board.

Go to that island in your head.

If all issues with Ford trucks were dealt with in private between customer and company, there wouldn't be much to talk about on these forums now, would there?

To the contrary, I believe these boards are a great place to find help for problems, as long as it doesn't degenerate to personal attacks like we have seen against, oh say Gale Banks and more recently, others...................
