It is a tune that is recommend to use for extremely short term. I've used mine going on 3 years now(tested it many months before it was released) No problems with my motor as a result of using this tune.

The smoke is there due to how it is "tuned" to get it quiet. It shouldn't be obnoxious though.

I'm sure I'll be around, but no live tuning for my meager stock truck. I might be able to swing an F6 upgrade by then though

I've got a question for you Diane kinda a hijack though. I'm gonna order an F6 in the next 3-4 days and I was wondering if you have to take the chip off the PCM to be able to update. Or if there is a usb cord that is also run through the firewall so that you can update it while its in the truck. I tried to find it on the site but wasn't successful.

Thank you,

Richard

With the F6 you install an additional connector under your dash that allows you to hook your laptop to the chip and update it without pulling the chip.

sweet deal Chase, that is the exact answer that I was hoping for. It was gonna be cool to update the chip all on my own but it would be even better to not have to pull it out. Thanks Chase.

The DP Tuner drive thru tune really quiets down the engine noise a LOT. The drawback is, as mentioned, the obnoxious smoke. It's not so bad in the summer, but in the winter with cold temps I could fog out the entire Bank parking lot. And god help me if the wind was blowing toward the canopy then everyone there was hurredly closing thier windows.
But neat tune anyway...
