Good Idea or Not?

[Drunkenparrot]

Well this is my first post on here and was wondering if it is a good idea to have my PCM sent to DP tuner to a file fashed to it. I only tow a small 3k pound trailer 2 days a week. I was thinking the 80 Economy setting is the file that I wanted flashed? I was just thinking that this is a cheaper way to help improve the performace and mpg of my truck. What do you think?

What year is your truck? What if any other mods have you done to it so far? Go to your UserCP and fill in your signature space with pertinent info regarding your truck.

Jody will be the best one to answer that question since he is the one who programs them.

for a little bit more money, get his flip chip with a couple of programs. consider the cost of shipping the PCM into things- you will save a bunch on shipping that you can apply towards a better solution.

to answer your questions- yes the 80HP econo would do it but it was not designed for it.

Ok here it goes,
2000 F-250 4x4 7.3 auto with 49k miles. mods include DIY intake and Factory Exhaust with out muffler. Thats about it.

The name is a very long story, but I will say it happend after a 2 week stay in Montego Bay, Jamacia. We almost didnt get back into the U.S. Had a great time, well what I remember.

IMO leave the PCM stock and just get a flip chip .
