Which Tunes for my F5 DP
 
I have a chip. But I want a DP = $199.95 and I will need to get some custom tunes which are $45.00 + $30.00 just because of my injectors.
I want the stock tune so it will run right $25.00
Hi Idel = $25.00
80hp Econo=$75.00
120hp Race=$75.00
140hp ???? =$75.00
But whats the differance between the 140 Aggressive and the Extreme also whats differant about the tunes with codes.
I guess I will also need the EX switch = $40.00 and the EX Remote Switcher Mount = $23.95
TOTAL =538.90 = tax
Let me know if this sound about right and give me any comment or thoughts you have that may help.
Also can I stack the DP with my current chip?:-fire

Extreme is the old "Smoke" tune. The code tunes won't throw DTC's when you scan. Stacking, no, stacking is a very old school thing now, and Jody can do everything with one single chip. I like your combo, might consider a tow tune since you do have a dually (don't know if you tow much or not). Other than that, looks good.

What chip do you currently have?

Wouldnt do you any good. Whatever the current chip was telling the PCM the DP would override.

I'm curious about this too. The way I understand it the code tunes just keep your SES light from coming on for the normal codes on chipped trucks.

Edit: Man I'm slow.

I didn't realize that my (about to be) new injectors would run up the DP cost so much. Found out the other day. I was hoping there was a single 'custom' charge instead of a charge on each tune. I don't have one yet but most on here will tell you that there isn't enough diff between 80e and 120 to get the 120...just go with 140. Have you thought about 40 or 60 tow, I'll be getting one of those. Also...have you heard the Drive-Tru tune that makes it quiet at Mickey D's. Pretty impressive. Heard it here:

My understanding its not the SES light as they are soft codes, but when you scan, the "soft" codes won't show up. Someone correct me if i'm wrong here as I don't have code tunes

Just curious what is your chip now? If it is a TS chip you could send it to Tony Wildman and get it reburnt for $150 which is what I am getting ready to do. His tunes and DP are both great but with Tony there is no charge for reburns once he does your chip that means if you get injectors you can have him reburn the chip for them at no charge this is what I have been told and a real good reason for doing it for me anyway. Just my 2cents for you..

I guess that would make more sense. Thanks.

I currently have the old 6 position E-bay chip I have had it for about 1 1/2 years and it works ok i guess.
Whats the difference between Aggressive and the Extreme. Extreme is smoke so whats aggressive.
Allen the Drive thru tune would be nice.

Do you think Tony could reburn this old chip?

I'll actually correct my 2nd post first: The codes DO show up when you scan, but don't throw an SES light, hence a soft code. My fault there.

On to the 140 question: I'll correct myself again (man i'm off tonight) The AGGRESIVE is the old smoke tune (very aggressive fueling on the bottom end) The Extreme is less extreme fueling down low and more top end and produces less smoke ---- taken directly from DP's website

He'll only burn off a 4 pos or 6 pos TS Rotary Knob chip

I would say yes but the best way to find out would be to email him. Also Joe(Izzy351) may be able to tell you he has Tony's tunes I would PM him and ask him.

Edit: I believe Kris(strokin_it7.3) is also using Tony instead of DP now so you might PM him as well.
