When you go the high idle route what RPM does everyone recommend?

I have:

No Start
Stock (I always start the engine here when she's cold)
60T
80E
High Idle (1200rpm for accessories, jump-start, etc.)
120R

In 4 years I've used the 120... twice. Skip it.

If you live in the East, get the drive-thru tune. Here in CO they must have better hearing b/c they get my order just fine when I'm in 80E, but back in MD.... just shut the truck off.

I love my DP. I went with PHP for a while, but much prefer DP Tunes.

My drive thru tune quiets down quite a bit, but not sure enuf for Drive Thru, havent tested it yet at the drive thru.

I have 60T, 80T, 60E, 80E, 100Performance, 120R, and 140E. also, have no start, stock modified, high idle, drive thru. i think thats it. Jody really has my truck dialed in, runs so smooth and makes good power. I need more air and more oil

For anyone contemplating Live tuning, i highly recommend it.

When I had my DP tuner, I found the 60t to be the best all around tune. The pedal response was similar to stock, but much more power. It drove much better than 80e.

U will love his tunes, gonna put a smile on your face
Oh really? Yeah i live real close to Sandy, about 10 minutes way. Where did you hear that? Any more details? I would definitely wait for that!

I run in 60e most of the time. Does anyone else have a problem with a rather harsh downshift from 4th to 3rd as you are coming up to a stop light? Or do I need to send mine back for an adjustment? Thanks

Each truck will react a little different, If you feel its too harsh, I'm sure Jody can make changes for you.
I had him change my TC unlock in 80E to the stock 40mph unlock instead of keeping it locked till 20-25mph on decel. If I want the engine braking I just bump it up to 80tow. I absolutely love it.

I run mine on 60e most the time here in the city. I love 80e but use it mostly on the highway. In town 80e is to senitive in stop in go . I have no shift problems in 60e.
