DP Tuner F6

Justin@DP-Tuner · Jul 15, 2011

Hey guys,

After some extensive research, reading tons of reviews, and speaking with James at DP, I decided to go with the F6. I plan on keeping a log on the progress of the truck once it is installed. I will be measuring overall engine performance, and MPG increase or decrease. I will be staying on the 80e tune.

I'll keep everyone updated and give some thoughts about the tune. I know a lot of people have this setup and tune, but I noticed so much bashing in other threads and I just want to keep this one clean and to the point.

Updates will be coming soon...

My truck didn't like the 80E, 80 tow was quieter and ran just as strong. My mpgs stayed at 16 in any of the tunes I had.

Thanks Justin. Let me know if you need some trial tunes for testing.

No problem Jody. I look forward to seeing what your tuner and tunes can really do. I have heard great things about them, so I am just going to try and document that.

Oh and BTW, I emailed you back Jody.

Thanks again for the great customer service!

I,m interested too see how this works out as well. I,ve got a F-5 now and I have been thinking of going to a F-6 or Ts type. I really would like too see if theres some new more up to date tunes for my currant setup this is an older chip, goes back to before the 80e scandal.

What is this 80e scandal you speak of?

Jody 's tunes stay current due to live tuning. If your tunes are over one year old your tunes are many revisions behind. We have offered free tunes updates since 2008 at no charge to our customers if you want to send your chip in to be updated.

Ok, I,ll wait till the first before I send it. I,m gonna be pulling it off the road for atleast 2 weeks for a major make over so if it works out, it really wont matter. it just needs to lot drive at that point in and out of the shop.

LoL, I said that , then thought oh hell. I dont want to scare anyone, us old bastards on here know and I,m quite sure that problem was taken care of.

Justin@DP-Tuner · Jul 19, 2011

Okay.

Here is my starting point.

I have measured fuel economy for the past month to see where I am at before the tuner.

I try fill up every time I hit the half tank area. It is less of a burden on the eyes, and the truck seems to get better fuel mileage.

I drive a mix between highway and city. Probably 30% highway and 70% city.

The First Fill Up: 210.9 miles on 13.82 gallons. Avg. fuel economy is 15.26 mpg.

The Second Fill Up: 272.4 miles to 18.33 gallons. Avg. fuel economy is 14.86 mpg.

This leaves a monthly average of 15.03 mpg.

For the next month I will leave the tuner on 80e to see if there is an increase or decrease. I will drive with the same habits as last month.

Problem? If there was a problem your engine would have grenaded shortly after installing it. Lol

The only thing that history proved was there wasn't an issue.

DP and the crew are nice to work with, dont think youll have any issues with their support.... I think i talked to james for several hours on several occasions about issues i was having with my truck(not dp related, doughnut leak and few other things), would have been worth the $ i spent just on being able to have them on the phone hah.

I am very pleased with it so far. I will keep this thread updated when the mpg numbers get figured out.
