Bernie,

Contact OSO member Boot.

He can certainly hook you up with the right stuff!

I believe he is out in Flemington.

Sorry not to see you out in Philly last week at Dave & Busters. It was a good time.

I thought the last I read, the whole crew was coming out.....

Yeah what are thoughts about the SCT Xcalibrator2 programmer? There seems to be a dozen different versions of programmers out now. Which has the best bang for the buck?

I use the Diablo reprogramer. 3 power choices. I use the+60hp economy tune. K&N air filter, 34"tires (speedo recalibrated), get's me 20+ mpg.

I have a 2002 Ford F-350 that has been 100% stock since new until about a month ago.

We tried the Edge Juice and had a few problems that Edge could not explain and we were lucky enough to get our money back.

Having spent a little time on www.thedieselstop.com I realized that Jody in Ashville, NC offers the best set up for the 7.3 on the planet.

It is called the DP Tuner. It is an old school chip that you have to install (which was very easy), and it has as many as six programs that are custom to your needs. He can even set it up for different tire sizes if not running stock so your speedo it accurate.

I called him and told him what we did with our truck, and what I wanted from the chip and in two days I had a custom unit.

My is set up with four positions:

1 = Stock
2 = 40 HP Tow Mode (safe for 12,000lbs)
3 = 80 HP Economy / Performance Mode
4 = Will not start mode ( theft prevention)

You can do up to six custom programs, and they are all shift on the fly.

It was less then $400.00 and I installed it in under an hour.

I don't think I could be any happier. Even the wife likes the 80 HP mode, it is awesome!

Good Luck
Dock

Did any of you that used the chips notice that your motors were louder? I tried one of the 6 position ones in my truck and it made the truck MUCH louder.
