The only thing I dislike about the dp is the noise. I understand that it's a diesel but I just can't stand how loud the truck is. I have a difficult time cruising down the hyway and talking onthe phone.
I think that when I finally do injectors I'll swap tuners, unless Jody can tweak the program some to quiet it down. I'd swap some power for some quiet anyday right now.

Cales tunes REALLY quieted my truck down. you can even hear a difference at idle. I know its true, because my wife asked what i did to quiet the engine down. now my exhaust is a different story...LOL

It's funny you mention that actually -- I was at a Whataburger Monday, and a stock 7.3L pulled into the drive-through (followed by another one, then a 6.4 LOL). It really is funny to me now how different these sound on stock injectors! I'd never go back though...

Just got a call from Beans. My chip originally had PHP tunes on it (not my tunes, bought the chip used) and PHP formats their chip so it has to be sent out to TS to be reformatted. Its going to take an extra week to get it back now. Will post back when I get the chip back and installed.

Sorry, these are the first set of tunes I'm getting. Never ran DP before, but I'm sure some other people could comment on the difference.

I run beans tunes. I don't have anything to compare them to but I think they run great. I'm afraid to run the race setting though.

Got the chip yesterday and got installed this morning. I only got to play around with it for about an hour and its night and day from stock especially with the Van Turbo. Put it in High Idle after I started up the truck up, pretty cool watching the RPM's go up by turning a switch. Daily Driver is exactly the power I was looking for, I'll probably be leaving it on this setting most of the time. The Performance (Hot) tune is great. More power than I need and the van turbo spooled up pretty fast. Its nice to know its there if I "need" it. Put it in the Economy and Tow tune for just a little bit but didn't have enough time to form an opinion on them yet. Overall shifting is much more firm, not harsh but firm. Before the shifting felt smoother but I like it. I need find some time to log some data on each tune, too bad I have Mother's Day stuff Saturday and Sunday. Overall I'm really happy with Beans Tunes so far.
