The DP ?
Well I got my DP F6 last week and installed it the day I got it. I followed all of the directions exactly as written and got it in fairly easily. I was about 99% sure I cleaned the ports well enough, as the directions state, but when I got everything put in and back together, I put the key in turned it half way and everything was normal, dash lights were on, DP switcher light on, but when i turn the key everything shuts off and I hear a continual clicking noise under the hood. 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.

I've had my DP-Tuner in and out several times for different reasons and never had that happen. I have also had weak batteries that did do exactly that. Chances are, you had you hood up and door open long enough to drain your already weak batteries to the point they wouldn't start it. Simple enough to check with a DMV. A better title could have been used.

Testy, maybe. It just seems so easy for folks to jump on the nearest band wagon to blame their problems on rather than take a moment and think for themselves. Titles like that does no one any good and I'm sure when he gets his batteries up to par, he will start another thread praising his new found power, that is if pride will allow him. :-)

Clux, thats cause Super Duty guys are way to up tight about DP tuner.
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.
