TS RE BURN HELP

i've got the 6 position ts but i am looking for new tunes. i've checked a few places, bean's was a little high for my financial situation, tw sounds great but i dont want to send it of and drive it without a chip, i talked to dave at swamps today and he said they do a reburn for a hundred bucks. just wondering if anyone was running swamps tunes or know if they are good or bad. i tried to post this a minute ago but i think it came up in a completely different place

No, I really don't. I know their tunes for custom injectors are very good, so I can't imagine their stock stick tunes would be any different.

I ran some of theirs before. IMO coming from Jody's transmission programming, it didnt fit the bill. Also their egts were higher, and MPG down a little. Im not trying to bash them. Just my findings. I also got 1-2 reburns. Cant remember how many now, its been some time. Just couldnt make me happy in the tranny department. However, some of that could have been miscommunication on my part.

its a 6 speed so im not really worried about that. im really happy with my mpgs right now so a drop of 1 or 2 im not too concerned about either. although the higher egt's do kinda bother me. are they better than the off the shelf ts tunes? if not i might be better off keeping my money. i'd like to have a set of single shots but so far im still 1600 dollars away

Everyone I've talked to with their stuff likes 'em -- this is the first negative I've seen. Which singles are you looking for? You can get Casserly Stage 1s for about a kilo-buck from Riff-Raff...

They were up 1-200 degrees IIRC, and mpg were down 2-3 mpg for me. I do alot of interstate travel, and have alot of time to watch my gauges on trips. I use atleast 40 gallons of fuel a week. The difference between off the shelf TS and Swamps, is Swamps will continue to adjust at your request. TS you get what you get, and thats all she wrote.

maybe i'm closer to injectors than i thought. the only injectors i have priced were from hendrix in scottsville ky. how many tunes do i get for $100 at swamps? the guy didn't really say he just said he hoped to see me tomorrow. this is my second 7.3 but its the first one with more than just a chip. i also have the ITP OBA w/ straight pipe and k&n intake. i would like some custom tuning for now since thats about all i have the money for (dang college has broke me). i like what i am hearing about swamps so far and his prices are better than others i've checked on

Man, before you do anything else, please, ditch the k&n. Switch to a 6637 to keep your budget down. Riffraff has em for like $29 bucks last I looked.

Hey Richie is a good guy and know's how to work on our trucks or any diesel as far as that goes. But you can find parts cheaper else where.
Where are you located I might be able to help you some.

Eddie what kind of performance injectors does Richie have? Any better price and build then Swamps or Ryan Casserly

Also for the chip you might want to really look into Matt at Gearhead
gearheadautomotiveperformance

Great prices and good tuning,

Also Beans Diesel Performance is isn't to far from Swamps and does good tuning. Beans Diesel Performance
