Dp tuner question
Installed the tuner this weekend. 80hp econ., 60hp tow and 140 aggresive smoke. My question is does anybody run in 140 aggressive all the time? IM a very very conservative driver and planned on using 80hp econ most of the time but after kicking it up to the 140 aggressive I just like the feel of the truck better. I dont hotdog, race or pull anything, just dont want to kill the motor driving around in 140 aggressive even though I'm extremely gentle. It runs just great in the 140 aggresive. Thanks in advance. By the way I have the same question sent off to Jody. Maxx

On a side note- I had a programming help page on our old website. It did not get transferred to the new site. Sorry about that. I'll get it up on the new site asap.

Thanks for the quick replies. Diane, when you say Dp Tuner does not recommend driving full time does that mean even driving conservatively would cause issues? This is the heart of my question. Will damage to engine happen if driven in this mode even if driven like grandma drives? Maxx

Well, I drive in my extreme tune 95% of the time. That's on too-big hybrids and PMRs... 
And I still get as good or better mileage than with stock injectors and "economy" tunes. Apples to oranges comparison however, I know...

I guess its like Jody says all trucks react differently to the tunes. But for me the truck runs much better set in the 140 aggressive. Its feels better starting off and shifts just seamlessly. I love the way it drives. I just did not want to be doing some damage to engine which Im not aware of by running in this tune full time. Its a personal preference. I can "feel" a real power difference when accelerating from a stop sign/light etc. It runs great in 140 aggressive! Maxx

I know where you coming from Maxx, Im in 80E 95% of the time, but 120R feels real crisp on the bottom end.
I use the 120 when getting on the expressway. Most on ramps by me are two lanes-to-one lane bottle necks, and its an all out race most of the time.
